Old Town Social

Nice place for a quick bite to eat & a drink, however nothing super special. It seems like a good neighborhood bar to meet up at. Service was good. Appetizers were average, and a bit small in portion size. Fish tacos were small for $3.50 each. Took quite a while to get the devil egg appetizer. Ok place if I'm the neighborhood but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Did the bus trip for the Notre Dame game, had a blast!

Excellent beer selection, good cocktails too. Pricing isn't great across the board, but the selection mostly justifies it. Great music on a Friday night, but not the ideal place if you're looking for conversation. Didn't try the food, but it smelled delicious. Overall a good place, and I would come back.

Old Town Social is great for a quick beer, a long night out or a first date. I've been here a few times, including NYE 2010, and the atmosphere is pretty chill. Filled with young professionals, most people are relaxed but if you're looking dinner before hitting up the River North clubs, you can't go wrong. The service here is hit or miss, as I've had great waitresses, a disgruntled bartender and was once told off by the manager when I called to tell them about a potential case of food poisoning we caught from their burgers. The menu is pretty creative and the drinks are normally good, but as I mentioned above, my friends and I once caught a bit of food poisoning that we believe stemmed from the burgers there. That said, I've had enough good experiences here that I'll come back again.

They have an excellent beer selection and very interesting appetizers, like their duck wings. Yum! This is a really fun atmosphere for night life! They have brunch, but it's not my cup of tea, so I wouldn't recommend it. Go for drinks and appetizers though for sure!

The burgers are so juicy!!! Defiantly recommend trying a burger, especially with the delicious pretzel bun! Pretzel bites are also a must-try! I would not get the beef brisket sandwich again but this is also not a BBQ place. The service could have been better. Ambiance is super cool, absolutely love the low lighting and wood fire. The place did seem a little sports bar-ish but still an overall great place for a bite to eat and a modest priced cocktail.

Chicago Dining Pass brought my boyfriend and I in for a BOGO burger / sandwich. Friday evening around 7 and the place was crowded with regulars - families of all ages and young couples. I found it a very cozy atmosphere for a more classy sports bar / neighborhood go-to. Our server Melissa was friendly, knowledgeable, and totally on the ball with recommendations and efficient service. The burgers were super satisfying (two single patties, cooked just right at medium rare I believe) and the housemade tortilla chips were phenomenally addictive! If I lived nearby, I would definitely come again, and take advantage of the "neighbor discount" I heard tell about. Overall, recommend. Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 P.S.: the free dessert with yelp check-in is a lie - there's no dessert! But the experience is pretty sweet as it is, so...

If you are looking for a nice date spot, perhaps for the first or second date this place is great. Nice environment, the music is great, decent drink prices and an overall great environment. Towards the end of the evening, they turn the lights down and it turns into more of a bar/lounge, perfect for taking a group of friends before getting wild for the night.
