Tribe Supper Club

Come hither and feast your ears on a tale about Tribe. This past Sunday I was following one of Chicagos dopest DJ’s. Patricia of Chicago. Tribe was hosting a brunch vibe curated with her music. This set was only for two hours, and I made it an hour late to it. For me this wasn’t a bad thing since I was able to actually interact with the staff service and DJs on a more intimate level. I got to know them as people not just drink fairy’s. Jason, Jada, the new owner, and one more of the bartenders curated the dopest of vibes. The kitchen staff was on point. The brunch menu I was pleasantly surprised with. There is a master chef back there or something. I ordered the avocado toast on a croissant. It was absolutely one of the best things I had for breakfast in the last two weeks. Jason and Jada hold a special place for me. I know,I just met them but they are my people now. The customer service went beyond serving a customer, and I felt like I was interacting with a friend who want to host a good experience for me. My water magically filled up every time I turned around when I went to put a napkin down it was gone before I could use it again. The service was so on point it felt like they were reading my mind. The golden hour sangria gave summer spells. Take care of the people who take care of you and you’ll never want. As far as the atmosphere goes, it’s a really beautiful building. I believe they are in the middle of doing some upgrades. I hope they can find a good contractor 😉. I have some suggestions to improve the thermal conditions of the building and hopefully see some rooftop activation in the summer, maybe??. My only desire was for the room to be warmer, but I understand controlling the temperature in that amount of space is challenging. I just know that in the summertime when that garage door opens up is gonna be a whole different experience. Lastly, the music. The two times I went. I experienced some quality sound DJ musicians that performed on stage. The stage in front of the bar is such a unique viewpoint, and it gives you the proximity to interact with the staff and screen the audience from interrupting the performers. Patricias set was amazing. 10/10 they should have her back if it aligns. Parking is a hassle since it’s Chicago. It does put a damper if you have to time clock your experience based on a potential ticket. With a little luck and looking there are some free spots around. They also valet on packed nights. The last time I was there was a burlesque show. Well worth the parking extension.

Saturdays are pretty dead but the vibe was still there. Sundays are livelier but I miss going for Brunch. The BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS are a must. They don’t skimp on the champagne either. The service was great and the door people were pretty cool. THERE IS A DRESS CODE so dress accordingly.

One of the places we tried for brunch when visiting Chicago was Tribe Supper Club. It’s Black-owned lounge that has brunch and Caribbean-fusion cuisine. They have bottomless mimosas at $35 per person as well. Since we were primarily in Chicago to try different food spots, we ate prior to our visit here so we just got two things to share for the 3 of us. The chicken and waffles were perfect and delicious. Classic fried chicken tenders and waffles that had the perfect level of sweetness. The oxtail and grits were also pretty good. The flavor on the oxtail was perfect and it was tender. The grits had good flavor too but I do wish they were thicker. Service was good and I also enjoyed the live entertainment. When we went, it was a pretty relaxed vibe but I hear it can get lit in there.

I love this place. Good energy. Clean venue. Crowd is clean and cute. I went for a bday brunch celebration. There's sometimes live music, other times it's a dj. I ordered oxtail, and shrimp & grits. Both were delish. Servers were sweet and the service was timely. Music selection gave a very chill vibe.

This place is a vibe! Every day has a unique feel. It's definitely a place to visit. Security are true gentlemen. Live music on Friday evenings is on point. The food is great and the drinks are signature. It's pricey but the quality matches the cost. It's grown and sophisticated. #tribevibe

I love coming here. The vibe is always amazing and the live music is ALWAYS on point. We came for the Layla Hathaway tribute and the singer sang us under the table. They have valet and it was very reasonable than some places in the city. Definitely somewhere to go with your girls or a nice date night. The staff is amazing and very attentive even when it’s busy.

Outside of my wings (3 wings split to make 6) being $17 (with no sides), this spot was decent. I was there recently for an event. Upon my arrival there was a live musician who played the trumpet and sang. He performed on the stage which was actually above the bar which demanded everyone’s attention which actually I really liked. His set was also pretty amazing if you appreciate that type of artistry, you don’t always have to be turnt up. There was balance. It was definitely a great vibe and good energy. There wasn’t any weird or childlike drama, the crowd had a good range in age groups. It wasn’t rowdy at all. The parking was treacherous however. I had to take a stroll. I’m not sure if it’s like this all the time, because this was my first time going.

This past Friday night was my first time here & I had such a good time! 🔥 Good food, ambiance, service, & music. I will definitely be going back. Main takeaways: -Make a reservation in advance so you don’t have to stand or wait for a seat to open up at the bar. They don’t usually seat walk ins if it’s a busy night & Fridays usually are. - Happy hour is from 5-7pm. They only have one drink on the happy hour menu; Remy Martin Sidecar ($10). It was good. There’s no DJ during happy hour. The music is on a playlist & it’s more of a chill restaurant vibe. - The live band was on from 7:30pm-9pm. They were LIT! They played 90s & 2000s music. I would come back just to hear them again!❗️The live band/performances do vary each week. - After 9pm it turns into more of a lounge vibe. The DJ started playing & he was good. Not as lit as the band, but kept the vibes going.

Tribe Supper Club has recently rebranded themself to In Session which is a focus on the music opposed to the food. It truly is the same vibe but with a DJ. I've been to Tribe Supper Club a few times prior to the rebrand and it was always lackluster. The drinks were overpriced and not well made. The music was good but the amount of tables on the main floor made it impossible to dance. They offer free entry to women before a certain time but the club would be nearly empty or filled with people just sitting down. Majority of the popular bars in the West Loop area do not charge cover so it is hard to convince yourself to pay to enter a club that you aren't guaranteed to have fun. Tribe Supper Club is a perfect case of focusing on table service over creating a fun vibe for everyone. I ruled out ever going to Tribe Supper Club because it was always meh but gave it a chance since I heard they rebranded to In Session. I visited during happy hour and they had a DJ playing. They were doing a special happy hour that offered zodiac sign drinks, the drink I got was good. It gave me a nice buzz and matched the type of drink I would like. It was a cute conversation starter to see if the drink suggestion matched what the different zodiac signs at my table would drink. It does seem like they took a few of the tables away which is a plus. But there was a still a lot of them, I would have to visit later in the night to see if they clear the dance floor a little more. The DJ they hired was not that great. Her mixes were not smooth. You can tell she was trying to blend songs but the background music was overpowering the main song she was trying to play. It was just loud. I may give In Session another try but it would most likely be if a friend suggests visiting.

We visited this spot while in Chicago.It has the same dining format as a lot of modern places. You can buy a booth and receive a tower mimosa. I ordered food and had the oxtails and grits. The oxtails were an 8.5 out of 10. The grits were super runny, so I didn't enjoy my overall food experience. However, I did taste my friend's chicken and waffles and they were a 10 out of 10! I wish I would have ordered that instead. The service was really good. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. I must say that they do play music. It sets the vibe. I enjoyed the playlist a lot. They also have a stage, so I am sure there are certain times that they have live music as well. Cool Spot.

The ambiance of this place is dimly lit, smooth music and semi-comfortable. If you sit at the high boys you can feel a bit akward, but if you sit on the couches you have a more relaxed and comfortable feel. The service was average. I didn't wait long to be greeted or have my order taken, but getting water refills wasn't easy. The food was good but the menu was limited. One of the table party members had to choose an entree three times before they were told what they wanted was available. The drinks came out strong and tasty. I am giving this restaurant 3 stars due to the lack of available dinner entrees.

Came here while visiting Chi-Town for the weekend & I am in LOVE!!!! From being greeted by the security/doorman who knew right off rip that we were visitors and really didn't know the dress code but was so nice to still allow us to come in for their Happy Hour. This place is so cute and the bar staff AWESOME! I forgot the young lady name but she was the most beautiful person with diamonds in her teeth...trust she will make your drink with love!!! We also had the opportunity to meet one of the owners who was super nice and very aware of what their customers needs are. We also had some food, not much but wanted to try some things out but because it was Happy Hour the menu was limited but very good...I didn't get to snap really any pictures but two and the one of my food does it no justice. Give this place a try!!

One of the places we tried for brunch when visiting Chicago was Tribe Supper Club. It's Black-owned lounge that has brunch and Caribbean-fusion cuisine.

Cute spot for solid food, okay drinks and overall good vibes. It's small but there's plenty of seating for an intimate vibe. The seating is a mix of bar, small tables and then lounge seating for bigger groups. There's a DJ and karaoke on Thursdays and live music on the weekends. The drinks were just OK to me and my friend. I tried the butterscotch Manhattan and my friend had the rum punch. The oxtail ramen was pretty good. The broth was amazing. The meat was tender. The vegetables were fresh and there was plenty for leftovers. It would've been easier if the oxtail was already taken off the bone. I had to ask for a separate container to break it down. I'd also recommend always providing a spoon with the dish and having some chopsticks on hand as an option. My friend said the Rasta pasta was good. The service was good. I'm looking forward to checking it out again. I'd recommend they have a few print out of the menus. The digital design is very nice but it wasn't that easy to read. The oxtail ramen was pretty good!

This is my second visit and first time happy hour. Happy hour menu was great. The Summertime Chi is an excellent drink for a spring happy hour. The service was slow. Sat a the bar for over 10 minutes before we finally had to ask the waitress how we are suppose to order because several bartenders walked by us and didn't even speak. Keep in mind this was early HH, so not many people to wait on, let alone in the middle of the bar. Once we were finally served, everything was really tasty and delicious. We left before the live band really got going. It was incredibly too loud for the vibe we were going for, but the band sounded great.

Got there close to 9pm on a Thursday to watch the NBA Finals/Karaoke. They were on the late night menu which was fine. We ordered drinks and food. My drink (pink flamingo) was very mediocre. The jolly rancher was worth it once you had 3 of them. They had $5 shot specials that were probably a half ounce in a cup. The ambiance was nice, I'll give them that. There wasn't a cover and no unnecessary issues going on. I ordered the catfish poboy. It was more of a catfish sandwich on a brioche hamburger bun. And the bun was not heated/warmed or toasted and it came in takeout containers. I wouldn't order again. The garlic aioli didn't have much flavor but the fries were good. Overall a good experience if you want a chill night/karaoke just get there for happy hour to make it worth it. 20% service fee was automatically included.

Very cool supper spot located in Chicago. They have live music and a DJ. Make sure you make reservations because seats are limited at the bar and after a while, they remove the bar seats to make room for more patrons. The drinks were good and they do offer food. I tried the truffalo wings and fries. The wings were hot but in temperature and taste, which is always a winner for me. The fries were good as well. Everything came out promptly and the vibe was laid back. The DJs played a lot of good music from the 90s and the 2000s which was a pleasant surprise. Although they didn't have my one request, I enjoyed the music for the most part. Check this place out if you want a nice spot to listen to good music and dance.

Friday night vibes. Great placed to grab drinks, hear some music and nibble on some appetizers. What a delight that is locally black owned and operated. We had a reservation but probably could of just sat at bar (we were early - don't suggest during prime time). Because we had a reservation we were able to pick high top or couch. We decided to relax on a couch. Taylor was our server for the day and she was so nice. For drinks we had Margarita and Remy Streetcar. Luckily these were discounted for Happy Hour for $10. Margarita was fresh and tasty. My husband enjoyed the streetcar. Atmosphere of the tribe supper club was very modern, artistic and colorful. You could tell that effort was really put into making an esthetically pleasing experience. Enjoyed the fact that there was a stage above the bar area and I'm sure makes for a great time when there is live music. Another cool décor was that they had artwork displayed in the hallway with QR Code so you can get more background about the artist & piece. For food we got the coconut shrimp and jerk chicken taquitos. Both items were made to perfection. I will say probably more of a appetizer than an entree. We did not get an opportunity to stay for dinner but it did appear people were happy with some of the other food selections. The vibe of the supper club was nice and kind of a grown and sexy crowd. The sound system was really good and I wish we had stayed for the live performance. I will let you know that they do have a 2 hour maximum for your table reservation. So be conscious of that if you were trying to be there for a specific time or purpose. All in all a very nice experience and would love to come back.

Amazing Friday night! It's a whole vibe and we had a time! Food was bomb! Music was hitting! Waitress was amazing! The culture was definitely giving life the entire night! I will absolutely be back!

I was so excited to try this out. My friend made reservations for a group of us. The place was packed. There is street parking. We had to wait to be seated although our party was present. We came at the end of a band planning which sounded nice. I ordered a Shirley temple and twice it came out flat. It's just sprite and grenadine. I ordered food but it doesn't matter what it was because we never got it. We waited over an hour and fifteen minutes only for the server to say the kitchen never got it and we would have to reorder. I am new to Chicago spots so really disappointed at the service and lack of food. I was excited to try it out and left hungry and discouraged about returning. I really like supporting new businesses but you have to value my business.

The atmosphere is as is, good, specifically being near the subway the music is great, being live is a plus. The food was not so great or something to speak of for me. I requested a Catfish Po Boy and it was a fillet on a brioche bun. And it was not tasty at all not seasoned good enough or fried hard enough, abit soggy to my liking. A long fillet for a bun. I continued my meal due to lack of food for the entire day(starving) just to eat something that was disappointing. Other counter parts and associates ordered food and shared their wings, they were also unsatisfying. For a person that order bottle service(unnecessary truthfully)and then wad highten on food would enough the experience of it all but didn't. I only enjoyed the live music when they played and apparently that's what I expensively paid for music and sevice.

This place is amazing! I came here with a friend visiting from out of town as well as his friend and they had a live Stevie Wonder tribute band performing above on stage. The place was busy, and it seems like many people made reservations to be seated. We came in as a walk-in and they were a bit iffy of us coming in saying there wasn't a guarantee. Essentially there was a little confusion on if we could come in or not but eventually they let us in. The place is perfect for a date night or a group with friends. It gives lounge vives for sure with sofa seating on the sides and then there is the bar! Will be back!

Absolutely dreadful! My previous detailed post, back on 2/18/24 was deleted by Yelp as I assume I was too honest. It was removed for "community standards." This place was beyond horrible in my opinion. The pictures alone speak to the issues and complaints I made known in the original post. All I will say is if you are looking for a great brunch to socialize with your friends and enjoy your actual food...this is not it. Listed facts are as follows: 1. The food, subpar and over priced. 2. Ambiance and cleanliness is questionable. 3. Do not order a "mimosa" tower. Picture is clear where they are stored (near the bathroom 10 steps from the visible rat box). Even if those towers are "broken" per the owner, throw them away! Why even allow a customer to visually see this. 4. Bathroom was trashed at 2:30 pm. Not a staff member around to replace toilet paper or pick up paper towel trash. 5. Cooking staff "fist bumping" non employees through the food service window and adjusting hair with the same gloves they cook with ( yes, I saw this several times happen) 6. Limited tables for food service. Mainly 3 seater bar tops and couches, with have no place to sit your food and eat. The one long 10 seater table where larger parties ( my party had 9 people) could sit was used by staff to fold silverware, laugh and talk. If you are seated at a sunken couch, just prepare to eat that $20 sandwich on your lap, sitting on a stool like a picnic. 7. Environment is extremely loud. Basically this place is a "day drinking" spot not a casual brunch place for conversation. Adjust expectations accordingly. 8. Valet is a joke. Too many issues to name. In closure, there are tons of brunch places in Chicago from north to south, east and west. Choose somewhere else or take the gamble and experience this place if you choose.

The vibes were right, the live music had very talented trio to preform an r&b medley and the food was fire. Drinks also were delicious- I recommend the pink flamingo. We weren't really focused on photos so I caught these picture late. Overall staff were kind. The chef greeted us and was down to earth. Will for sure be back.

The food was only the thing that kept me there .. everything else was terrible .. I never been to see a live band and get searched .. by security lol I'm not that old I'm 37 .. but from to the bartender to the "hostess " were all kids .. legal ! but I felt like I was at a college campus .. I thought this place catered to adults over 25 at least .. online it says no gym shoes , joggers etc.. I walk in the door ! baggy clothes gyms shoes hats .. I should've walked out then . sit down the waitress the rush rush the ordering process we order and get the food .. she proceeded to say aw the band won't be on until 11.. so she seated us knowing the band wasn't coming we only had a 2 hour seating so which means if we stayed we would have to stand . That not what I'm here for . . I was so excited about this but if they have a food to go option I would definitely order some Rasta pasta.

This whole place is a vibe! If you can get past that it is a bit small on the inside you'll be ok. I only mention it because the way the stage is set up and then the tables down the middle you'll definitely have people standing around your food if you're there for dinner. The food and drinks are great! I've been there twice, didn't order the same thing and both times no matter what I've ordered it was amazing! Some of the best calamari and rum punch around! I will go back. Oh, and the entire staff from security to the servers are very nice! Great customer service.

Great food, EXTREMELY slow service that night. Crowd was lit although this isn't really my scene. I would love to be able to just pick up some food to go

LATE POST: Went to see a concert the artist started 3 hrs late they had other acts but still no ma'am I didn't even finish the show. My drink was $26 and not top shelf and I'm not sure there was a DJ but they were playing Top 20. I thought the music would have been better. The actual spot is cool the people were cool but I will drink before I come. Also they hold the line a lot and they really shouldn't when it's not that crowded.

Came here for my birthday, and the food and drinks are absolutely amazing. The drinks were cute and tasted good, and the food was well presented and well seasoned. It's a nice, drama free crowd and a smallish place. And y'all know the smaller the club the bigger the party lol! My only con here was the DJ the night I went. Didn't enjoy his mix at all.

Impressive atmosphere!!!!! The. FOOD (wings and fries) are FIRE!!!! Definitely an impressive spot! We'll be returning as long as it doesn't turn ratchet.

Boy we had a time at Tribe!!! If only I was about 15 years younger, and my body could hang!! The vibe here was not what was expected. I had NO expectations as it was my Surprise Brunch for my Birthday!! SO I was pleased with the Food, music and fellowship!! We ordered Brunch of course and the Oxtail & Grits!!! Babi I know food, and this was heavenly! Them Grits alone had us in a trans!! We had to talk to the kitchen, and they came right over.. You have to show your appreciation and gratitude to people while they are here. You never know what type of day they are having. The Chefs here are the type of Men you dream about. We were checked on by the Bar Manager Travis and his hospitality to us and the staff is amazing!! You can sense the passion he has for the business, and he took the time to actually talk to us and get some real raw feedback. Our Model of a Server Taylor was AMAZING and was what servers should look like and took care of us and the other tables in her area. As the day got busier, she pulled back her hair and handled it like a Champ with a smile, grace and upmost professionalism. There is nothing bad I can say about this place except, I will see yall again on the 18th!!! Its my sisters Bday and we bring it back 1 more time!!! Keep up being amazing and don't let the outside riff raft change the way you are handing things

Where do I begin? My friend and I were looking for a nice, chill spot to eat some brunch and catch up on conversation while enjoying some food. We ended up checking out Tribe supper club. A friend of mine used to work at the location, so I was excited to check out the spot for myself finally. I was a bit hesitant when I arrived because I quickly noticed the attire others were entering the facility was a very upscale BET awards vibe. I believed I was way too underdressed for Mimosas and chicken and waffles. But decided to stay anyway. The host and secretary were amiable, and even though I didn't set a reservation, I was seated right away. The interior of the tribe was amazing. The Caribbean and hip-hop vibe, and they just so happen to have a band playing R&B, gospel, and House hits. I was seated in areas where I couldn't see the show, but that wasn't an issue. My waitress was very kind and knowledgeable and did everything she could to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Let's get into the food. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles, which were delicious and seasoned well. I will say I prefer chicken wings, but the breast was still good, and the Waffle was the right amount of crisp. My friend got the steak and eggs, and It was pretty tough. The stake they used was the Filet mignon, which unfortunately didn't meet the mark. We washed everything down with the bottomless mimosas. Now that we got that out of the way, let's discuss the issues. First off, it was WAY TOO LOUD. The windows were not open, so the sound stayed in the space. I run sound and am also a DJ. The sound was way too loud for brunch at 1:30. Also, the Host talked the entire time throughout the band break. I found it quite annoying. My friend and I were sitting at a circle table, and not only could we not hear each other, but we couldn't get barely two words in because the host wouldn't stop riffing on people like he was on def comedy jam. Don't get me wrong; some folks were enjoying it, maybe because they were made aware of what the environment was like but for me, who came for brunch and beats, which was the advertised event, it was not at all of what I expected. The bottomless mimosas helped the experience because once we were tipsy, it became a party. We voiced our concerns about the host, and it seemed the staff was a bit annoyed with his style as well. We did have a good waitress; however, she was injured after slipping near the kitchen. I believe she was taken to the hospital, and another wait staff filled in, and they were fantastic too. Also, just as a note, if you're going to Tribe, know that you're also paying for the environment. The bill cost around $130, so it's pretty pricey. That may be why they are trying to give an Extravagant show. We stayed for a bit of the DJ set, which started around 3:30 when the Same Host and new DJ riffed back and forth while playing bangers and RnB. It was cool until we got into the R Kelly conversations, where the host tried to convince the audience they would sing along with the convicted singing legend entering the room. It was time to go after that. Overall it was a decent experience. If I were a bit more prepared, I could see how Tribe would be a good time. The food was a bit pricey but good. I enjoyed my Chicken and waffles and bottomless mimosas. The staff was excellent and welcoming. The band was great, but the host and the volume brought the experience down a bit for me. But if you are looking for a Hyped Brunch experience, this may be for you. Put on your best fit and dancing shoes and step out to Tribe Supper Club. 3 out of 5

Service was absolutely lack luster waited well over a hour for our meals only for them to come one by one for a table of four, definitely won't be back here for a while especially with all the Chicago nightlife has to offer on a weekend

Oh my goodness I have no words to describe how freaking AMAZING the food is here. I have gone about 3 times now for birthday events and special occasions and every time I'm so excited to order food because it really is amazing. Food: The food I had from the breakfast/brunch menu is the chicken and waffles and it is to die for! I also had a bite of my friends shrimp and grits and that had to be the best grits I think I ever tasted in my life. Drinks: The drinks are great here. I honestly can't remember the names of what I've had but there is one drink with Henny in it that was surprisingly really strong and I felt great. lol Ambiance: This place is a whole vibe. The live music (during brunch and in the evenings on weekends) is always something to look forward to. (Beware though, the live music tends to be really loud. Like REALLY loud.) Service: The service is great. I really can't complain. Without having a booked table in advance each time I've went I've been able to be seated to eat before the bookings came in. Overall, this place is dope and you should definitely give it a try!

Wearing hermes sandals & upscale attire. I was turned away due to not meeting their dresscode - after leaving Bauvettes Steakhouse - which confirmed I was appropriately dressed. In addition the dresscode is nowhere on the site. So to arrive & be turned away. Especially when there higher end restaurants in Fulton Market that do practice these outdated tendencies. Im beginning to note, that only black owned restaurants attempt to practice the discriminatory behaviors of dresscoding. When asked why were certain women allowed in the establishment inappropriately dressed - the bouncer made an excuse. Then I was informed that heels needed to be worn as a safety precaution in case glass fell & that Tribe was under litigation due to their "dress code". I asked if I paid for bottle service would I be able to enter the bouncer denied. When I asked if I coukd valet - I was denied. Once again, I was in a hermes sandal after leaving an upscale steakhouse. I consider that experience extremely discriminating & which I asked the bouncer why am I not being allowed in - especially when asking to PAY MORE. Upon that, this dress code is NOWHERE on the website. And was on the GROUND upon walking up to this establishment. Its sad that I can walk into an upscale steakhouse & receve better treatment than at a fellow black owned establishment. I would love to speak with the manager or owner because the treatment provided was EXTREMELY disrespectful & distasteful. Especially when most steakhouses have relaxed their dresscode because it was noted to have racial undertones & was a racist way to not allow black people in. TRIBE HAS FAILED BIG TIME. And it was the discriminatory bouncer. I will continue to complain

I'd heard many great things about this place and of course I love supporting a Black-owned business. My party and I were looking forward to seeing the nighttime live music performance. There weren't serving food at this time. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived we'd missed it. The DJ set was pretty good and the crowd was having a good time. It wasn't super "lit," definitely more of a lounge vibe. I liked it though! Next time I'm in Chicago I'm going to try some of their food.

Food was delish, music was on point, ambience inclusive, clean, a true vibe. The wings and the smash burger was a HIT. The staff was friendly and my drinks were pretty and delicious. 10/10. NO LEFTOVERS. I will be back!

I wanted to like this place more than I did. Looked dope, but after sitting at the bar for awhile, noticed that the A/C wasn't on and on a 90 degree day...it should have been. Went for drinks only during Sunday brunch hour. There was a drink on the menu, that was no longer available (that's cool, just take it off the menu then). Wasn't too crowded and drinks were solid, but service was lacking. When you order a drink and the bartender gets on her phone, then goofs off with the other staff, THEN decides to make your drink, that's says something to me about work ethic and what type of behavior is allowed. Bartenders def lacks professionalism and don't know much about bartending (as one of the bartenders asked the other bartender to make my drink, side note: it WAS NOT busy). The vibe was great, live music was on point and the establishment was well designed. You could tell who the owners were as they made their rounds and were more accommodating than their staff. The food that did come out looked delicious and was also nicely plated. So, MIGHT be back to try it. Also, NOT A FAN of establishments adding tip. Let me tip you based on your service...the service was defiantly NOT 18% worthy...was BARELY 10% worthy. All in all...let's get some better trained bartenders and this place COULD BE DOPE!!

Atmosphere is on "10". All the staff was super nice and service was good. Food was tasty. Drinks were even better. Live music set the vibes for the night and even the DJ kept the spot rockin through the night. A nice evening spot for date night, chilling with friends or unwind from a busy day. Definitely come check it out.

4.5 Tribe is a straight Vibe My party of 8 got there at separate times and staff did great to accommodate everyone, The early arrivals got the 2 plush green couches which was a perfect spot to view the live entertainment The band was phenomenal. Lots of covers like Jill Scott and Erykah Badu. Some beyoncé some Frankie Beverly Later on while I was there I put two and two together and discovered that the female vocalist was also the vocalist in the candle light experience held on the north side that I visited on my birthday last year. She is still doing a phenomenal job and I had to walk over to her and give her a big hug and she was so happy to receive her flowers Most of the ladies in my brunch party did the chicken and waffles which came out very quickly. We were nervous. We didn't think the food would be hot and fresh but it was. I did have to mention to the waiter who was Jason that I received a small chicken portion he promptly ran to the kitchen and grabbed the biggest piece they had available for me. He was absolutely phenomenal. He took care of all us ladies and all our wants. So I told him I would shout him out in my Yelp review. So hey Jason! After the band was done, I believe it was Sean Mack on the DJ turntable and he did an awesome job blending the '90s and 2000 and the current music all together and small bits . I wish that each song was at least a minute and a half cuz once you start grooving to your song it switches quickly but that's the new way they do things My drink was called Rock the boat which is I believe had a hibiscus vodka pomegranate juice and it was amazing. drinks are a little pricey there so definitely be prepared for that. My group also received a mimosa tower. I don't know the pricing on that but it was enough for about eight of us to have a round for me two rounds. Sorry, I'm greedy I will definitely be back to patronize this black owned business

I was on a business trip to Chicago recently, and googled Happy hour live music, and came across The Tribe. The service was amazing as I explained to Nicki/Nikki that It was my first time there as I was traveling from NJ. We had a few chuckles over the drink menu as I couldn't decide what i wanted she also told me she was from Jersey. She made me feel very comfortable since i was alone and in Chicago for the 1st time. and was very personable. The food was great and the recommended drinks were on point. I am glad that I chose that spot and if im in Chicago again, I will def ask for my server from Jersey . :}

Staff is amazing 10/10 Food was great ! Service was great Music and live band are bonus ! If your looking for somewhere to go and have a vibe this is the place

I love the vibe here!!! The chicken tacos were fire and the Rum Punch drink was good. I came here for Happy Hour and enjoyed myself. The service was fast! Charles is cool (I think he runs the place)! I'll definitely be back!

a bit expensive BUT very well worth it! Drinks FANTASTIC! Food even GREATER!!!! 9/10!!!!

My friends and I visited Tribe today. The food was very good. And the drinks were also very good. The so called security was very rude and insulting. He asked us to show iD and then wanted to search my purse. He proceeded to remove my makeup bag and said "only you people. I asked him what he meant by that. Only because my friends had arrived I went in. Security also frisked one of my other friends. I will never go back. First impressions are lasting and for the amount of money we spent, that should have never happened. Yes it is a black establishment and unfortunately he has no ideas who we were and the weight we held. Again, will not return

This place was such a vibe. We made reservations for Sunday while visiting Chicago. Initially seemed like they wouldn't accommodate us because we didn't have a "brunch ticket" and the reservation wasn't enough but we were finally seated at the bar. There was a great live band and also a DJ. Chicken and waffles were on point and drinks were amazing.

We hosted a corporate event here and the food was absolutely delicious. Chef James is amazing. He went above and beyond and was extremely helpful. The other gentlemen on his team in the kitchen were also extremely nice and professional. We were extremely pleased with their service. There was also a young lady on the waitstaff that was phenomenal. I'm so upset that I can't recall her name because she was truly wonderful. Very professional and friendly. Oh and did I mention the food was amazing! I don't have many pictures but you can trust if you stop by here you will not be disappointed and the mimosas are lovely!

Got the chicken and waffles!!! Amazing! Truffle butter everything was very tasty! The band was super loud. GRITS WERE OFF THE CHAIN TOO!!!

Brought my cousins here a few weeks ago and had a blast. We enjoyed dinner and Friday night live music. The food was amazing - I had the redfish and man! Perfectly crispy and flavorful. My cousin had the braised oxtail and while my food was great, I low key wished I ordered what she had. SO YUMMY. The drinks were decent - on the sweeter side. They have a full service bar though so you can order whatever suits you. The only down side is the table limits. We were only able to sit for 2 hours which is pretty standard. Given the vibes we wanted to stay forever! Will be back...

I went to brunch here for a friends bday and had a great time. Highlight of the day was the beautiful sister rocking her own version of Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit. The place isn't big so my only complaint is we were rushed out for another party. And bottle service to sit is very pricey. The food was amazing.

I love supporting a black owned business and this place has a very nice atmosphere with live music and great food. However, I give this place 3 stars just because I had a birthday celebration here that I paid for in full 3 weeks prior. Upon arriving they had given my two sections away due to the rules not being clear on their website. The owner Travis did rectify the situation by the end of the night after a few words. So overall I had a great night after that little hiccup and enjoyed my birthday. TIPS: Book through a promoter. Read the website very carefully. Ask detailed questions about your reservations and screenshot everything.

warning dont go if ur out of town or see on eventbrite they do noootttt honor there events or let ladies in free or fellas they only do bottle servce and tables dont waste ur time also was kinda dry before 12 so maybe later idk

Great experience! I will be returning. Service: Staff was friendly and accommodating. I requested a few of their house sauces with my orders and that elevated the experience. I recommend their jerk sauce and the truffalo. Food: The jerk wings fell off the bone. That's a very good sign. Everything felt fresh, and the sauces enhanced simple dishes for me. Ambience: Great sound system. Music was solid. I wish I stayed long enough for the live performance.

Yelpers, what's good! Summertime Chi- nowhere like it! So geeked, we have new spots to patron, like Tribe Supper Club. Let's get it! CONTEXT: Full transparency, a lead creator for Tribe Supper Club, lived in my building. I ran into them during the final stages. Humbled and honored to see it all come together! That said, y'all know I will and always tell it like it 'tis. Shouts out to my man Boye for incredible vision and standards. Salud indeed, I was sincerely impressed. I've been to TRIBE 2x now, both randomly. Both times hit. That's clutch on the random pop-up/pop-in. WHAT I GRABBED: Personal Cheesecake. They damn near a personal pizza size; get one and split it unless you hungry hungry. Fire though. Hit the brunch recently and...FYE! Cream of Coconut French Toast, Chicken & Waffles, and the heavy hitter Oxtail w/ Grits. Yelp Fam, they hit a triple-double no assist. I came in with no expectations, and most def, it's a move this summer. COMMENDS: So I didn't even mention the vibes @ TRIBE. Once you walk up on Lake St., you know it's different. You come in; it's breezy, a large stage overlooks the entire space. It provides the perfect backdrop for a date, hanging with your friends, or a straight-up happy hour. This is one of my favorite settings in Chicago dining scene thus far in '22. I haven't been to a turn-up late-night event yet, but I can imagine the vibes. I'd be tweaking if I didn't shout out the staff. I didn't get names, but y'all will see me again, I'm sure. Tall homie usually reppin' Paper Planes. Salud. RECOMMENDS/What I Vouch For: - Cream Coconut French Toast - Chicken & Waffles - Oxtail w/ Grits - Personal Cheesecake (share that joint, lol) - Sunday Brunch!! OVERALL:/VALUE: 6/5 TRIBE is a vibe! Don't miss out on a black-owned gem envisioned for all to enjoy and celebrate. With the live music and dope artists/bands, the value is easy a 6/5 frfr. Until next time Yelpers, LOVE, LIVE, EAT & VIBES!!!!

This is one of those reviews ...I recently booked brunch with Tribe for 10 people. Prior, I'd been to Tribe plenty of times for happy hour and just somewhere to go on the weekends. I'd always recommend this place to people traveling to Chicago looking for something to do on the weekend. I work in the industry so Tribe has always been a place I'd recommend. I booked with Adam weeks in advance for my brunch accommodations, that included a deposit of $200. My reservation was for 3:30pm and I arrived around 3:40pm with 4 people. The host made it clear that we'd have to wait for the rest of the party to be sat. I then see her speak to another person and can hear him say "don't serve them until the rest of the group is here".WEIRD. The host walks us to a section of couches and seats us. I ask if this would be able to accommodate all 10 people because it was rather small and didn't seem as if it could fit us. She responds by saying "the table is for 6 people that's what the reservation says" as she shows me a reservation for 6 people. I informed that I booked for 10 people with Adam and paid a $200 deposit for 10 people. Adam takes about 10 minutes to come clear up the situation and offers us a separate table for the rest of the group to utilize. The server Nikki came over after awhile, she seemed busy but also rushed us to order our entrees and drinks. The seating and small side tables in the section weren't great for eating at and the entire experience felt rushed. We ordered a round of shots. Before 5pm, our server Nikki approached us with the check (wasn't asked for we were only there an hour) I told her when she gave me the check that we wanted to order another round. Nikki then tells me "I was told to close the table out". After another conversation with Adam who's only concern was him asking if the food was good...I was ready to go. As someone that works in the industry, the operations and customer service needs some work. Being rushed to finish your brunch experience is unacceptable. I won't be recommending this place in future. They think that average food trumps customer service and I don't think that's what people want to experience.

We were so excited to try this place as it was so hyped up. The service was horrible, we kept getting conflicting information about what time the kitchen is open. The hostess was rude and had a bad attitude. It took 30 minutes for them to bring us mimosas and when their kitchen finally reopened the food was mediocre at best. They had really nice DJ's in there and a couple nice bartenders. Overall would not recommend this "restaurant ". They only have 1 hour windows where their kitchen is open. 12-1, 2:30-3:30, 6-7 like wow what a shame.

This place needs a dress code and some standards for their patrons. Went tonight and saw women in busted sneakers, sweat pants, and dingy t-shirts. All that was missing was musty bonnets and it would have looked like a Walmart meme.
