Guest Reviews
Easily the best happy hour in the Gold Coast. A $5 cocktail is absolutely unheard of! Delicious food, great service and immaculate vibes!
Loved the atmosphere — so big & spacious. The restaurant was decorated nice and very clean. The service from the waiters were 10/10. Food was absolutely delicious!
I hit the bar at Chicago Q a couple of times a month. Front room fireplace gives a great quiet winter vibe. A great BBQ menu — the mac and cheese with burnt ends go hard. Fantastic service.
