Flavors without borders, nights without limits.

Located in Chicago’s West Loop, Bar Tabú offers a bold fusion of eclectic Latin-inspired cuisine and Agave-driven cocktails made by loving hands and designed to ignite your senses.
Here, food and drinks flow like forbidden memories. Our collection of Agave spirits— one of Chicago's most extensive—telling stories of fire, earth, and generations of defiance. From rare single-origin pours to signature drinks, we offer a drinking experience that embraces transgression.

    Definitely more of a vibes place than a restaurant. You can tell it turns into a going spot and it’s just for dining

    Had a great time at Tabu! I chose this restaurant as a the maid of honor for my bestfriends bachelorette brunch. SERVICE: The service did start off rocky. We were seated for almost an hour with dry glasses. That was disappointing and I let the manager know the brunch was very important to me and my guest as many had not been to tabu or Chicago. This was not a testament to the server we had. She was great and had a great attitude however she couldn’t handle a 10 top with all the additional tables she had. The manager Daly jumped right in and got us to a good point. FOOD: 10/10. The pork belly tacos were absolutely amazing. Most of the table had that or the steak and eggs. No complaints. DRINKS: we ordered shots outside of the bottomless mimosa (the entire table had to purchase even with non-drinkers seated). I was under the impression the Champagne was watered down, I assumed this based on solely seeing ice in the carafe, as the taste wasn’t necessarily compromised but also I’ve never had 8 glasses of champagne and still been that sober. The bottomless mimosa were tasty and reasonably priced but I would not get it again. AMBIANCE: it’s soo cute in there! The Photo Booth at the bottom of the place is a great add and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was gorgeous however it was 95 degrees outside and likely 85 inside. It was extremely hot upstairs and the only way to cool down was going downstairs. The place was very clean and the bathrooms were well attended to. Overall I would highly recommend and would return despite any shortcomings. The staffs attitude and want for us to have a good time meant the world!

    The Caesar salad was not to my liking I don't think people should be eating lettuce boats. The steak was good drinks was amazing. Staff was very nice.

    They have changed their menu and now are just more a bar than anything else. If you are used to going and having a nice dinner think again.

    The environment gave brunch but the menu….not so much. Really small menu. I ordered steak and eggs which only came with one egg. Pretty good though. My girlfriend ordered the chicken and churro. The chicken was over cooked but the churro was delicious. We also tried the churro roulette which the churros were extremely dark and the sauces were watery. All in all it was okay but I wouldn’t return.

    I’ve been to Tabu a few times and the food here is delicious. The staff is super nice and attentive. I did the reggaeton brunch on Sunday with a group of friends (7 of us) and it was so much fun. The DJs were good, they kept the vibes up. They have a bottomless mimosa option or they have drinks a la carte. My favorite item from the brunch menu would have to be the Pork Belly Breakfast Tacos, they’re so flavorful! My friends ordered the Que-fc Tacos, and the Battuta Steak & Eggs. All of my friends really enjoyed their meals and said they’d definitely get them again. I want to try to flautas next!
