"Some things don’t make sense: the Bermuda Triangle, who framed Roger Rabbit, algebra, Bernie’s existence in River North. In a sea of loud and crowded spots, Bernie’s can feel like an oasis. The dining room never gets busy but doesn’t turn into a sh*show, and has wood floors, bright blue booths, and an open bar and kitchen that make everything look cool. Plus, their food is good - the wide-ranging menu has tasty pizzas, entrees like rabbit gnocchi and tacu tacu, and a truly excellent burger. The atmosphere is also good for a number of occasions: weekend dinner with friends, date night during the week, and even a solo session at the bar for a burger and beer. And since Bernie’s is on the quieter west side of River North, it has a relaxed rooftop we really appreciate. The tables are far enough apart to make it feel extra spacious, and they have an expanded awning so you can hang here even when it rains. And it happens to be an ideal spot to hang in the neighborhood when all you want is a cocktail and a really great burger." - Sam Faye
