Bandit

"Bandit is a smallish spot in the West Loop that feels like a party, but is still low-key enough for you to bring your dog and not worry they’ll get whisked away to Ibiza. Come here for day drinks and bar snacks like disco fries during the week, or come on the weekends for bottomless brunch. For $35 you can get unlimited mimosas and Bloody Marys, along with dishes like eggs, pancakes, and chilaquiles. But one of the best things about this place? They also have a puppy menu with steak, chicken breast, and a burger." - adrian kane

"You don’t go to Bandit for the food, which is hit-or-miss. You end up at this smallish spot in the West Loop because it feels like a house party - the kind you used to go to that used Apple Pucker as a mixer, and had a keg in the basement. Come here for drinks and bar snacks (like fried halloumi or pretzels with Merkts cheese) before giving your new look a Big Night Out in the neighborhood." - adrian kane

"You don’t go to Bandit for the food, which is hit-or-miss. You end up at this smallish West Loop spot because it feels like a house party, the kind you used to go to that used Apple Pucker as a mixer. Come here for drinks, bar snacks, occasional live music, and a night of singing and dancing to pop hits from the ‘90s. The second floor turns into an all-encompassing dance floor, with people dancing wherever there’s room—including on tables." - sam faye, veda kilaru, nick allen

"Spend two hours drinking mimosas, bloody marys, and bloody marias for $35 starting at 11:30 a.m. Friday or 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Dogs are welcome on the patio and there’s even a menu just for them so they won’t look so sad while their best friends eat a short rib benedict with crispy potato hash or chilaquiles with crispy pork belly. Brunch is offered through 3 p.m. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson

"Bandit is a spot in the West Loop that feels like a party, but is still low-key enough for a casual brunch to listen to your friend confess they’re secretly glad they had to cancel their wedding last year. For $35, you can get unlimited mimosas and Bloody Mary’s or Maria's, along with dishes like eggs, chicken and waffles, and chilaquiles. One of the best things about this place? The bathrooms are decorated with wall-to-wall posters of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, respectively. The Deal: Bottomless mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Bloody Marias for $35" - adrian kane, veda kilaru
