"Between its catchy funk and soul soundtrack, delicious food, and long wine list, Bronzeville Winery is an ideal date night spot. This American restaurant also has a great sidewalk patio, and we can't think of a better way to spend an evening than listening to Earth Wind & Fire with some caramelized watermelon with a glass of pinot grigio.

"The fantastic funk and soul soundtrack, delicious food, and long wine list are just a few reasons to hang out at Bronzeville Winery for as long as possible. This American restaurant also has the perfect combination of loud music and conversational buzz that prevents the entire dining room from overhearing why your friend thinks dating a DJ is an ethical choice." - team infatuation

"With Silver Room’s Eric Williams and veteran restaurant worker Cecilia Cuff at the helm, Bronzeville Winery has come a long way since debuting in 2022. This restaurant is unapologetically Black, thanks to the strong leadership at the top, providing a unique atmosphere — including music and art — that isn’t seen a lot in Chicago’s fine dining spaces. For those who have been patiently waiting for the restaurant to jell, the payoff has been worth it. The restaurant has significant importance being in Bronzeville, an underserved South Side area with few full-service restaurants. Bronzeville Winery goes above and beyond, creating an experience worth seeking out. Vibe check: A rare spot for great wine on the South Side with a great happy hour with live music." - Ashok Selvam
"This South Side spot brings upscale dining to Bronzeville in an accessible way. The a la carte menu has both small bites and large plates, which range from crispy Brussels sprouts and brick oven mac and cheese to Creole salmon tagliatelle — allowing diners to enjoy their meals on their own terms. There’s also live music or a DJ on most days which ups the vibe. As its name indicates, Bronzeville Winery features an extensive selection of wines, including a number of bottles from Black- and woman-owned wineries." - Lisa Shames
