"Open until 2am Sunday-Friday, 3am on Saturday No Vacancy in River North is technically a sports bar, but it is really more of a utility spot. It’s just a few blocks from a bunch of train stops, there’s a patio, solid happy hour deals, above-average bar food like steak sliders and birria egg rolls, and interesting takes on cocktails (that can be hit or miss). More importantly, No Vacancy never closes early—last call on the kitchen is at 11pm daily." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Genre-straddling shotgun-style spot No Vacancy manages to walk the line between a TV-laden sports bar and a cocktail den in River North. On this menu, this looks like fun yet familiar game-day dishes like birria egg rolls, pretzel-crusted tenders, wraps, and burgers alongside boozy adult tea service for two and drinks including the aptly named This F*cks (1800 silver tequila, Aperol, watermelon, tajin)." - Ashok Selvam
"No Vacancy is another bar that doesn’t want to be put in a single category, claiming it has fancy cocktails, plenty of TV screens, but still will be comfy for lovers of dive bars. It’s a tall order, but this sleek River North bar manages to straddle the line — at least on weekdays. Weekends in River North are hard to escape. Birria egg rolls, chicken tenders, burgers, and salads fill the menu." - Eater Staff

"No Vacancy in River North is technically a sports bar, but is really more of a utility spot. Yes, there are lots of TVs playing sports, but it’s not the kind of spot where a guy in a Bears jersey screams during a first-quarter score, and is sleeping in a basket of wings by halftime. No Vacancy is just a few blocks from a bunch of train stops, so it's full of after-work crowds and visitors staying in one of the many nearby hotels. There’s a patio, above-average bar food like steak sliders and birria egg rolls, interesting takes on cocktails that can be hit-or-miss, plus a kitchen that’s open until 1am. Come for the solid Happy Hour specials on beer, wine, and food in a lively but not aggressively loud environment." - Veda Kilaru
