I popped in before an 8pm show for a drink and some food. I sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the cheese plate with all three cheeses and it does not disappoint. The crusty bread and mustard and jam combo is excellent. The atmosphere is dark and calm. Like a hidd
We had a good meal with drinks before the show.
Good pub food (loved the caramelized Brussels sprouts) and great service. Perfect for a bite before a show at Second City.
My brother and I went to 1959 last night before seeing a Red Line Runs Through It, and holy hell was it good. I got the cauliflower tacos and french fries, and that was the first time I've eaten at nice restaurant not regretted being a vegetarian. My meal was absolutely incredible. He ate the secret
The staff is super friendly and wants to make sure you have a good experience. The food was all great, but especially the pretzel we got as an appetizer and the drinks. Their Old Fashioned is extremely strong, but good.
Great beer selection and delicious bar eats located near a famous comedy club. I visited Up Comedy Club to see a Second City show and then swung by here afterwards for drinks and a snack. I had their fries during the show, which come loaded with herbs and cheese and cooked in beef fat, and were divi
I went to 1959 before an Up Comedy Club Show tonight. The service was great! We were greeted as we walked into the bar, and our server was with our table soon after sitting down. He was very nice and our food and drinks came out quickly, too! I loved the old pictures of second city and the original
This is best restaurant to ever exist. The French laundry don't hold a candle to this dojo. The cauliflower are out of this world and the service staff is so professional and nice. I am a gluten vegan and they totally accommodated my needs and what I had was awesome. Cocktail list is out of this wor
I love this place. Great spot to get a drink or a meal before catching a show at Second City. Cool vibe with lots of old Second City pictures on the walls. Food (small plates) and service are both excellent.
I love a cold PBR after class. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts, the goat cheese & leek dip and the secret burger (not on the menu!). 1959 is unlike any other spot in Old Town!
Korean BBQ wings are amazing and only $5 on Wednesday! Jenny the bartender KNOWS HER STUFF. Cool vibe. Try the whiskey smash!
We Celebrated my Husband bday and Everything was Great!!! Our waitress Courtney was Fabulous!!! 1959 owes US Nothing!
It was a good experience, menu was simple and small . Not sure if thats how it is regularly . Food was very tasty ! Definitely a great chill spot and the ambiance is very chic !
Inside the famous Piper's Alley and home of Second City, 1959 Kitchen and Bar is great for taking in lunch or dinner. An even better place to meet up with friends and have a few drinks and let everybody know your name.
Food is pretty good!
