80 Proof - Chicago

Been coming to their brunch for years and the food and team has always been consistent. Thanks for helping me to make another friend's birthday brunch special.

Went for a bday brunch, and the food and drinks were excellent, and the service too!! Great atmosphere and will return!!

Good food. Great music. Nice environment. We had a lot of fun here. It is pricey but worth it. They have three levels of food so even the pickiest of eaters, vegans and vegetarians will be able to find something they like. The only bad thing I have to say is that our waitress (Neisha) was not attentive at all. She rarely came to check on us and whenever we wanted to order drinks or needed anything we had to search for her. I’m not sure if she just didn’t try hard because gratuity was already included or maybe she wasn’t having a good day. Other than that I would go here again when I come to Chicago, and hopefully we have a better server.

I've gone to 80 Proof a handful of times by now, and it's always a pretty good time!This Old Town bar is very spacious, has a few levels, and turns into a total party at night. This is more of a place to go out to and get drinks at; I've gone here for food before, but recommend coming for drinks and maybe some shared apps among friends. They're not particularly known for their food, but I'd say the food is above average bar food.The drinks here are nothing too crazy or unique, but I still like them. They're reasonably priced, as well, which is a plus for a nicer Chicago bar like this one! I love their shareable cocktails and the fact they have a little shot menu. They have a dang good drink menu in general and are more known for it. My friends and I have also thrown 2 parties here in their upstairs event space before it's always gone smoothly and the wristband deal is worth it (they have a few packages). I'll totally be going to 80 Proof for some drinks very soon again!

Thank you Josh! Reservations were for 10a. Two of us arrived at 10:05a and the other member would not arrive until 10:40 due to a family emergency. Due to a phone call to the restaurant prior to our arrival, Josh was prepared for our unique situation. He handled us with such good care. Reservations are a must and 20$ per person is required as a deposit which is taken off your total bill. There is also a two hour limit per table. Mimosa kits are 20$ and include one bottle with three different juices; orange, mango and peach. Want a stronger mimosa, add a shot for 10$ I suggest you wear pretty flats as there are three levels of dining experiences. We wore heels and we felt it. There is an omelet station, chicken and waffle station, carving station, dessert station and a vegan station. Very thoughtful. Callie, our beautiful server made sure we had everything we needed. There is a live DJ and the variety of music played was just perfect. You'll start off dancing at your seat and before you know it, you are on your feet moving at the table. Can't wait to get back to 80 Proof.
