Reviews
The food was so good and the drinks were top notch, but what really made this place stand out was the service. The hostesses were so friendly, sweet, and accommodating, our server was so good, and a manager even stopped by to see how we were doing. Despite it being A VERY busy Saturday night, it didn’t feel like it thanks to the staff. They turned a bad day into an amazing evening
Oh, and if you get the snickers pie, bring like 12 friends. This thing is MASSIVE
It’s Saturday, and my friend and I were just the right type of confident to think we could stroll into Lux Bar and snag a table. You’ve got to aim high, folks.
The host quoted a 45-minute to 1-hour wait or suggested grabbing a seat at the bar. We took our chances at the bar, settled in, and—no sooner than we made peace with that—ding! A text came through saying our table was ready. A+ for efficiency, Lux!
We decided to stay put and had the pleasure of meeting bartender extraordinaire Kyle, who took amazing care of us (and, yes, cute as a button!).
The menu? Fantastic. I went with the salmon and a side of broccoli, while my friend enjoyed the chili, house chips, and a salad. The food arrived quickly, piping hot, and absolutely delicious.
And, of course, I couldn’t skip dessert—the chocolate cake was everything! The espresso ice cream while yummy doesn’t agree with the tummy, but my friend happily handled that part.
A few glasses of wine, shots, and cocktails later, I’m back on my couch, smiling about a lovely Saturday in the greatest city—with a new favorite bar.
Cheers, Lux Bar—you’ve earned it! ✨
The food is truly impressive. Every dish is beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, with bold flavors that feel elevated without being pretentious. You can tell real care goes into both quality and execution, making each plate memorable from the first bite to the last. Pair that with their drink menu, and you’re in for a treat. The cocktails are expertly crafted, balanced, and creative, while the wine and spirits selection offers something for every taste.
What really ties it all together is the service—attentive, knowledgeable, and smooth without being intrusive. Lux Bar delivers a full experience, not just a meal or a drink. It’s the kind of place you recommend confidently, knowing it will impress every time. Elegant, indulgent, and undeniably stylish, Lux Bar lives up to its name in every way. ✨
Brunch ordered steak and eggs and the order was split for two without asking. None of that extra plate and shove it yourself business!
Absolutely will go here next time I’m in Chicago.
Saturday 12/06/25 We walked into Lux Bar on a cold Chicago late morning with a party of eight, from the moment we entered, the host at the front set the tone for an incredible brunch.
He welcomed us with the most genuine, warm smile — the kind that instantly makes you feel taken care of. Even though the restaurant was busy, his communication was clear, calm, and extremely professional, and he graciously accommodated our group.
What stood out most was watching him continue to treat every guest with the same kindness, polish, and attentiveness. He is sharp, welcoming, and brought such positive energy to the room.
The food and service were excellent, but this host truly elevated the entire experience. A standout first impression and a true asset to Lux Bar.
The staff has been there for years – which is just a true testament of how great the restaurant is in general.
Ryan is amazing and is THE example of what a restaurant GM should be.
The bartenders are also amazing at what they do. They are seasoned, knowledgeable and talented.
Don’t take it from me though, even my best friends think of it as home–they hosted their engagement party there.
FOOD ALLERGY ALLY! I have a VERY limited diet due to many food allergies. LUXBAR has been generous and accommodating since the first time I stepped foot in the bar. They’re extremely conscientious about avoiding cross-contamination. And, in one instance, Ryan, the general manager, even ran out to my table when my plate came out to replace the dish because of an ingredient he wasn’t sure about for me.
Everything on the menu (per my friend’s testimonials) is amazing.
My go-tos are the Cobb salad, filet minion, hummus plate and the club. It doesn’t stop there though: my friends love the truffle fries, cookie skillet, and tuna tacos.
