Great drink specials. Think it was makers mark for $5. Any ways, it got my cousin saucy. Great live music. Band was playing songs from music videos on the tv from the eighties. I love them. Thank you

Great brunch. Live music great vibe. Breakfast burrito is excellent. So is the Lemon Ricotta pancakes They use old album covers to present the menu in.

The pan-roasted salmon was arguably one of the best entrées on the menu, finished with red quinoa tabbouleh, baby kale and lentil-garlic puree. Read more

Try the cinnamon raisin grilled cheese with melted brie and apples. Comes with a side of greens topped with a delicious balsamic hazelnut dressing. The Bloody Mary bar was very impressive as well.

Looking for a great $100 (for 2) burger experience this is the place! Okay I had the lobster burger but still a little heavy on the wallet for the experience and taste. Good, absolutely. 4 $30 OK

The breakfast sandwich was great.cooked to perfection. Loved the Sunday brunch atmosphere and live music. I would come again the next time I come to Chicago.

Craft your own creation with Rockit Bar & Grill River North’s Bloody Mary Bar where you can get wild with 15 garnishes - because while it takes two to make a thing go right, 15 can’t make it go wrong.

YUM! Have you tried the Rockcorn Shrimp yet (crispy fried rock shrimp, chili lime sauce) or checked out the brunch menu Sat/Sun until 4 pm?? You can't go wrong here! Read more

Definitely amazing burgers but if you're there for apps, the maple bourbon wings and the steak pockets are so bad and so gooood!

Wedge salad & rocket pockets! Rocket Pockets: take a cheese stake, put it in an egg roll wrapper and deep fry! Not at all heart healthy but you have to try them.

The cheese fries with brie and mushrooms are incredible!!! Loved their sweet potato fries. I wasn't so fond of their chickpea burger, though.

It's Halloween, and Buffalo wings decided to dress up as mac and cheese. That's the best way to describe this spicy, creamy, blue cheese-y pasta at Rockit. Read more

Quite possibly the best damn Bloody Mary bar on the weekend that ever existed! The acoustic one man band also sets the mood for a nice/relaxing setting! Love this place.

Rockit Burger gets all the press, but drool for the Tuna Burger instead: onion brioche and seasoned with pickled ginger, paired frisee and dolloped with wasabi mayo. Read more

On Sat/Sun at Brunch there's a $5 "build your own gourmet Bloody Mary bar." You can bring your plate when you go up to the Bloody Mary bar for things like shrimp and peppers you may want on the side.

Wicked good turkey burger! The fries were delicious as well. Paired with a 312 - good to go for the day!

Stick with lunch over brunch food. Can't go wrong with a burger and fries. Great spot to watch Michigan games upstairs.
Kristopher WeissJuly 2, 2015
Eat here - often. Bison fries and turkey burgers are amazing. Service is top notch. Incredibly close to perfection.
David PittsOctober 20, 2016
Hamberguesa is amazing, regular fries fantastic too. Shrimp appetizer and hummus plate also a winner

Try the Rockit Pockit - chopped steak, caramelized onions, American cheese, crispy wrap, rockit sauce (via @Foodspotting)

Whatever dessert you choose, ask for whip cream. Yummiest whip cream on earth. Wish they sold it in bowls. I'd always order it.

Get the table in the corner on the second floor by the window it has an amazing ambiance. The drinks are great

The burger I had here was awesome! It's a trendy local spot so get here early. They had a pretty decent beer selection too.
KitchenboyApril 14, 2012
Upstairs bar is more active and lively. You can still get the great burgers and beer plus it is easier to get a seat when crowded.

Keep an eye out for #MMDM events at this venue! While here check out the truffle fries! Get in touch with Rockit Ranch event planning to schedule your event here! You won't be disappointed!

The lamb burger was juicy and tasty. Very cool place to hang out and grab some beers

Smokin' cocktails at rockin' sports bar. Up for groups, downstairs has more intimate vibe.

Red bean turkey chili is chunky with tomato, upfront with heat and more than filling. Sure, truffle fries are trendy, but if you order them anywhere, do it here. Read more

You would think Jeremy Piven's bar would be douchey just because assholes would pretend to be Ari Gold. Well it's actually a pretty badass place. Good drinks. Killer music mix and good lookin people.
AlexSeptember 9, 2010
The Rockit burger is definitely wonderful, but I really like the chicken paillard. I did not enjoy the cheesesteak "pocket" (deep-fried eggroll) because it was SO greasy!
Michael NordmanDecember 31, 2011
Best bloody Mary bar ever! I love artichokes and the acoustic Gavin degraw. Don't forget truffle fries
