The Vig Chicago is a sports bar with a 1950s theme. Step into a parlor from the past with a refined drink and food menu unlike the usual sports bar fare. Guests can enjoy dinner or weekend brunch at The Vig Chicago as well as regular live events with music and dancing. Start your meal at The Vig Chicago with crispy pork ribs or lobster deviled eggs, before moving on to the main event.

The service alone is enough to bring us back. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, making a welcoming and friendly experience. The food is great for adults & children, and they have a great selection of cocktails & beers. I have gone to The Vig several times with family and friends with children and had a great a great experience every time. We are so happy they are in Old Town!

Awesome place for brunch, but be sure to make a reservation and be clear about whether you want to sit inside or out. Our server as well as the rest of the "village" that seemed to be helping us were great at providing suggestions on not only good but drinks as well. We are already booking our next group brunch!

I have been to the Vig several times since its opening last year and it has become, hands down, my favorite spot in Old Town. The food is consistently good. I haven't had anything that isn't rave-worthy yet, but the burger is definitely my favorite! The spreads are also a great option, especially for groups since they give you plenty of spreads and bread. The service here is phenomenal, the decor is very nice and the drinks are top notch. The OTB gin drink is a favorite!

One of the best brunches I've ever been to! Kacey, the director of events, was extremely accommodating for our large group every step of the way. There are no words to describe how unreal everything tasted - especially the chicken and waffles, whipped cream on the fruit bowl, and the donuts! Will definitely be coming back here next time I am back in Chicago!

Food was very good, but the staff was not great. While the service was fast, they were not very nice and just seemed to be delivering food. They did not help the atmosphere at all.

Uninspiring pub grub that feels like a chain concept. Relatively attentive staff that still has a tough time anticipating customer needs such as drink orders, cutlery, setting and clearing, etc.

The Vig was a great choice for a cocktails and light dinner! The drink menu was extensive with excellent craft cocktails. We enjoyed the spreads with warm bread as an appetizer.
