This is my second time going to City Winery each time I enjoyed the performances. The first was Aretha Franklin she was great and the second time I went to see a saxophone Eric Darius he was awesome! First time I did their brunch buffet very good and second time ate before I came but tried the truffle fries very plentyful and delicious, my drink long Island was good the second time so that bartender knew what he was doing (Kevin, I think). I definitely will go back again. Great date night for couples & ladies night. I prefer the seats up top vs low seating seats too close. Great night with my cuzzin!

City Winery Chicago was a great experience. I went for the Chrisette Michelle concert, and the venue itself was intimate and well set up for live music. There were solid meal options available, which made it easy to enjoy dinner during the show. I had the classic wine flight and the wings, and both were good. The truffle fries were especially great—definitely a highlight. Service was decent overall. Most importantly, Chrisette Michele was absolutely amazing and put on a fantastic performance. I’d definitely return for another show.

We had brunch at City Winery and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We were welcomed by Franny at the host stand with a taste of Sauvignon Blanc. Their new brunch menu has solid favorites, especially the kale salad and the croque madame. There’s also a great $45 champagne deal that comes with juices and fruit, making it easy to mix up a fun brunch drink. Service was friendly and attentive, shout out to Belinda. Overall, a relaxed and enjoyable brunch experience.

Had the BEST brunch with the girls today! I had only ever been to the riverwalk location (and always loved that), but the west loop location was just as amazing! Our drinks were amazing, service was great, and the food was awesome – seriously best kale salad I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back here!

I visited City Winery Chicago for dinner plus a show and was charmed by the intimate, wine-country meets urban vibe and exposed brick decor. The food was decent—small plates and steaks—but I thought the portions were a bit light for the price and some dishes lacked wow flavor. The acoustics and ambiance were a real highlight, making the live music feel close and immersive, though the dining layout felt cramped and tight at my table. Overall, it was a special night with good food and musical flair, but not without a few trade-offs

Food was great atmosphere was great.The server we had was so so. We absolutely enjoyed the concert. We were pretty much one of the first ones in there.We had a wonderful salad with the shrimp.Skewers, and we ordered two diet sodas. And then we got dessert and coffee. The gal did not refill our sodas at all.Did not ask for refills on our coffee.Did not hardly see her at all. We had plates in front of us all through the concert. The food like I said, was incredible. The service was so so. We saw other servers doing a lot better than ours was.

First time here. R&B Bingo. Very fun. Ticket price ok. I felt like the marker’s (3.00 each ) should have been included , at our table alone that was a extra 30.00 for them. Food was ok , small portions and very over priced. Not a lot of food choices. They need more on the Menu. Bite size meals so don’t go hungry or you will be paying a lot. The winery is beautiful and the music was great. I don’t like restaurants that force you with a minimal amount that should be my choice if I want to eat or drink. The waitress sometimes hard to flagged down when you want something.

I recently dined at City Winery Chicago and was impressed by the quality of their dishes, particularly the hanger steak and grilled salmon, which were both flavorful and well-prepared. The ambiance was lively and upscale, with a modern industrial feel that complemented the live music performances. However, the noise level was a bit high during the concert, making conversation challenging at times. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I look forward to returning.

City Winery Chicago delivered an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and classy without feeling stuffy — the perfect setting for live music. The staff was welcoming and attentive, food and drinks were fantastic (highly recommend the wine flights and small plates), and every seat felt close to the stage. It’s one of those venues where you truly feel connected to the performance.
Elijah Blake was phenomenal. His vocals were smooth, soulful, and effortlessly powerful live — even better than the recordings. The way he connected with the crowd, shared stories between songs, and poured so much emotion into every note made the night feel personal and special. You could feel the entire room locked in from the first song to the last. Pure talent and artistry.
If you’re looking for a top-tier live music experience in Chicago, City Winery is the place to go. Amazing venue, amazing vibes, and an incredible show. Can’t wait to come back!
