Gilt Bar

My partner and I showed up around 5:40 on a Saturday and had to wait an hour which is okay with me, but beware when they text you, you only have five minutes to get there! (We had to run.) Allie was the most incredible server I've ever had, coming from a waitress perspective. She was attentive, thoughtful, funny, and …

I went on a Friday night. My group of two was 12th on the list and waited about 40 minutes. Drinks were good, chocolate cake was soooo good, and photobooth was fun. Vibe was good, staff were friendly, I just liked everything here. I recommend this place for a chill date night.

Our group visited yesterday to celebrate our friends getting married earlier in the day. The staff helped make the evening so special with small touches throughout the night. I had a great dirty martini, friends had strong old fashions and can recommend the house craft wine. More notable the food was amazing. We got the hot chicken sliders, mozzarella sticks …

I loved this place! We had a really great experience here. Amazing cocktails, great service, amazing music, and the vibe and atmosphere is just fantastic. Sadly we couldn't e hoy the speakeasy since there was a private party being held. The meatballs, and salmon were great. The hamburger although the meat was really tasty is not an outstanding one. Be …

This time around, we decided to check out The Library speakeasy and absolutely loved it. The downstairs atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for—dim lighting, a low-key and intimate vibe, and candlelit tables that really set the mood. It felt cozy, relaxed, and perfect for a night out without feeling loud or crowded. We only stopped in for drinks …

Definitely of those viral restaurants worth the try. All the food was good and on par with the rest of the Hogsalt restaurants (Beavettes and Ciccio Mío next door). My favorite was the pork belly confit, which was a pleasant surprise since I'm not a big fan of pork to begin with; my definite must try. The library downstairs was …

We had a great dinner at the Gilt Bar! We all sat in the library speakeasy and it was a great spot. Cool corner table. Yes, lights are a little dim, but part of the ambiance, kind of loud as it is packed with people, but a cool place with huge bar, older speakeasy hallways, and the $5 Photo Booth …

Perfect setting for an end of the year dinner with my friends. We let one take the wheel and order for the table. Our favorites were the steak tartare, carbonara, burger with fries and the martinis! I did reserve for main dining area but we ended up sitting in the basement which was a much better vibe for our party! …

Came here for our anniversary and it was lovely. Started off with the house salad which was refreshing and huge. The burger with bacon lived up to hype 10/10 best burger, and the orechiette was delicious. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake which was exceptional, and our lovely server Ashlyn brought us out some ice cream with a candle …

My first visit to Gilt Bar completely blew me away. I’m usually skeptical of restaurant hype, but this was genuinely one of the best meals—if not the best meal—I’ve had in Chicago. I came for Restaurant Week, which turned out to be an incredible value. We started with the bone marrow. I’d always been curious but hesitant because of the …
