Emily WalkowiakJune 22, 2014The drinks are super strong but yummy and retro. Order early. Last call is around 1230
Cocktails are great! Try the bone marrow, corn bread and pasta!
Great meal. Best of my Chicago trip. Get the pot roast, pork belly or any of the homemade pastas and you'll be very happy you did. Also, great craft cocktails.
Lindsay WennerMarch 25, 2012Wow! Food was amazing. (we ate half the menu) and our server Mike B was one of the best I've had in years and years.
Whiskey smash is fantastic as is their manhattan. I love their brussels.
Hayden RassasJune 12, 2012Request to sit at the chef's table, its a lot of fun! And, don't forget to order the bone marrow!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Rustic and refined collide in this saloon on roids. Warm your belly with dressed up comfort food or a hot toddy. - Inspector
AlisonOctober 20, 2010Cocktails are yummy - had the French 75, sweet but not sugary. For eats, try the bone marrow, the mussels, frites, and brussel sprouts with bacon!
Adam HickeyNovember 5, 2011Nice place, still affordable for those on a budget: $2 PBR served in a chalice. What more could you want?
Theresa GanchorreJune 8, 2012The most flavorful food in Chicago, share everything! And check out the bar scene downstairs.
Thompson HotelsFebruary 24, 2012For a place this hip, you’d expect to encounter some attitude. On the contrary, Gilt Bar’s staff is friendly and always on-point.- Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017I love this place. Amazing food. The best cocktails are in the library. 🍹

Dana TedescoAugust 12, 2010I came for the meatballs and I got the BEST pork meatballs eva!!! On top of creamy polenta. And the cornbread is like buttery moist delishishness!

Stephen SpiewakJune 20, 2010Cool ambiance. Upscale, but didn't feel too pretentious. Menu is very reasonable, and great for sharing. Definitely get the roasted garlic/olive oil appetizer.
Raymond BergAugust 12, 2014Sazerac is phenomenal. Actually, all the cocktails have been amazing. Cheers!
Ajay SalpekarOctober 17, 2011Must. Get. Crispy bone marrow and toast. Decadent. And the pork belly. Steak-like pieces that like butter.
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014Attn Whiskey drinkers: These bartenders know a thing or two about making a tasty Vieux Carré.
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014Gilt Bar is posited as a small-plates concept, but portions tend toward the substantial.
Jonathan D. Young IIIDecember 9, 2016Cocktails are very good. The food isn't as good as it was a year ago.
Tammy GordonJuly 2, 2011Fondue w fried egg, pork meatballs with anson mills grits & orechiette pasta - all fab!
