"Handlebar is a mostly vegetarian restaurant that’s the kind of place you want to sit, eat, drink, and hang. And that’s especially true in the summer, when you can do all of those things on their back patio. Handlebar’s menu has things like vegan mac and cheese and a buffalo seitan wrap with vegan ranch dressing. There are some non-vegetarian options, too, like blackened catfish and seared tuna tacos." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"A neighborhood anchor since 2003, Handlebar is known for its sumptuous lineup of vegan and vegetarian comfort dishes delivered with an effortlessly cool vibe. Grab a seat at brunch for tofu scrambles and breakfast burritos, or swing by at dinner for fried avocado tacos and meat-free Nashville hot “chicken” sandwiches." - Ashok Selvam
"Handlebar’s menu is filled with vegan American comfort food, like a buffalo seitan wrap with ranch dressing, mac and cheese, and a Chicago-style tofu dish that’s inspired by our city’s obsession with hot dogs. Because right now, vegans need comforting too." - adrian kane
"Handlebar is a mostly vegetarian (they do have some fish on the menu) restaurant in Wicker Park, and it’s an enjoyable place to eat, drink, and just hang out. The menu is pretty heavy on comfort food - so there’s stuff like a buffalo seitan wrap with ranch dressing and a Chicago-style tofu dish. A lot of dishes can be made vegan, and the servers are very careful about asking questions and making sure that you feel comfortable with what you’re ordering. If you’re here in the summer, make sure to sit in the beer garden out back." - adrian kane
"It's a beautiful day for a walk and that's why you're on one. Then you decide it's a beautiful day to eat vegetarian food or maybe a little fish. Head to handlebar and eat some delicious fried avocado or fish tacos and hang on their patio out back. You're a beautiful person inside and out and you deserve these beautiful things." - sam faye
