I came here with a bunch of friends and we really enjoyed the food and ambiance of the restaurant. For some reason there wasn't a lot of people when we went on Saturday night at 7pm. The service was good and there were lots of TVs playing sports. The only thing I didn't like is that the music was too loud. It was almost as loud as a club in there, although they played some really good beats! Overall really enjoyed taking my group here and would love to come back!

This is not a restaurant. It is a bar with food. Just know that going in. First mistake was seeing that I could make an open table reservation here. Not needed- there was no hostess to seat us, it was a first come first serve establishment. The noise level was pretty loud, but when we realized this wasn’t a bar/restaurant its just a bar with food we lowered our expectations. This kitchen lost a couple of our orders for apps and main meals so things came out later than we would have preferred but our server was gracious and apologetic. My one kudos is they had a great beer selection.

This was a very underwhelming experience. The place is huge and they have a cool patio but I went for brunch and was the only person there. The food was not good. Example the chicken and waffles you could 100% tell it was breaded and frozen. The club came on a pita and it was so dry. I could go on. Unfortunately I will not be back, there are too many other options.

We attended Municipal on a nice warm evening. We were seated on the patio. It was a pretty quiet evening in downtown Chicago that night. Our server was friendly and gave his recommendations when we asked. We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was very tasty. I recommend those visiting to try the Calamari if you are a seafood fan. Our entrees were brought in a timely manner and very filling. Overall, good experience and would return for another date night!

I arrived to my 11:00 reservation to find the door locked. After calling the restaurant the door was unlocked but no person was present to greet and seat my party. Upon entering the establishment I did not get the sense they were TRULY open as there were rags on the bar and many of the carpets were rolled up on the floor. I shouted "HELLO!!" and eventually a staff member sat us. She was very polite and accurately took our order but overall the experience was unremarkable

If I had one word, it is OVERRATED. First, when we walked in there was no one to be seen. We had to walk through the restaurant to find the hostess in a booth at the far end of the restaurant on her cell phone. I asked her to check us in since we had OpenTable reservations, and followed her to the host stand at the front door (where she should have been when we came in). But she did not check us in, so I had to contact management later so I could write this review. We were the only people in the restaurant most of the time. I thought they had brunch, but the menu we were given did not list brunch. Later as we were getting ready to leave, the only other couple in the restaurant asked about brunch, and only then did we find out there was a separate brunch menu that the server did not bother to inform us about. I have gone to over a hundred restaurants, and write reviews on all of them. I am easy to please, and most of my reviews are 4's or 5's. This restaurant is one of a handful that I do not recommend. There are too many good choices out there.

We had a group of 8 interested in watching the Cub game. We were fortunate to have a moderate October evening and so sat outside. There were 2 big screen TVs outside and we sat right in front of them. It was the perfect setting for a ball game. Food was good and reasonably priced. We had a great time.

We dined with a large party, one of which was my 90 year old Grandma who was visiting. The restaurant was accommodating of her walker, however the experience was underwhelming for our guest in town. The food came out at all different times. My moms dish, simply an omelet, didn't arrive at the table until some of us were finishing our plates. The kitchen seemed to be having issues keeping up despite the low number of people in the restaurant. The bar is great for a game or some drinks, but we will more than likely skip on brunch going forward. The waitress was good and handled the kitchen's issues well. Understandably not her fault, but certainly uncomfortable for her. Thanks.

Loved my food at Municpal as well as the cocktails but that was all cancelled out by the terrible service. We were a groups of eight and half our food came out together. We then waited for the rest without starting to eat for about 7 min. Mind you no staff nor our waitress came back to say the rest was on its way or address the delay. After about 10 min we went to the bar and asked about our food and for hot sauce. This time we were told it was coming. About 15 min after the first food came 3 more meals arrived but we were still waiting on one. Again the staff that dropped off the food said nothing. Finally after about 6 minutes more our waitress came by and asked if we needed anything and we pointed out we were still missing food. The last plate got delivered about 40 min after the first group of food. The waitress offered us one free round of drinks and ultimately compted a meal but it was just the fact that they didn't address the issue at all.

Made a reservation for 11:30 pm and arrived only to find out the kitchen was closed at 11 pm. We paid 15 bucks for parking only to be unable to eat. While the staff was apologetic, the information and reservation times available online needs to be more accurate for this restaurant.

Booked a reservation, but it turned out that wasn't necessary on a Wednesday - the place was pretty much dead at 7 PM, and I had no problem sitting at the bar. I'm guessing the mentioned crowds must be a lot worse on weekends and big game nights. Unfortunately, the bar staff seemed more interested in chatting up the group of ladies at the other end than providing equal service to the few other patrons. I started with the house Moscow Mule, and I gotta say that for $10, it was a joke - it may as well have been an over-iced Canada Dry w/ lime in a copper mug. The subsequent Spicy Mule I asked for (because I am a believer in second chances), was made by the other bartender on duty, and he was considerably more generous with the liquor pour (can't remember any names, sorry). I ordered up the skirt steak w/ house fries - asked for rare, I would say it arrived more of a medium/medium-well, but it had clearly been pounded and cubed to tenderize it. To their credit, it was tender for the cut, and had a tasty marinade, so I won't dock too much for the overfiring. And the fries were great - classic, hand-cut bistro-style. I'd be willing to go back with a group, but I think I would stick to beers, apps, and sandwiches.

I came here twice, once for happy hour and once for brunch. It was good for a large group at happy hour, and the deals were good. Brunch was not very good. The place was empty, the service wasn't as good as it should have been, and the food was overpriced for what it was. No one was impressed with their meals. I would return for happy hour, but not for food.

Enjoyed the food service and atmosphere here, while watching the last Blackhawk's game of the regular season. Plenty of TVs, though music was a bit loud. Will definitely go back to enjoy the outdoor deck/patio when the weather warms up.

Ok place if you want to watch a game, but don't expect to be able to hear anything but the TVs. The service and food were pretty bad. I would not go back.
