Funky spot for craft cocktails by the ounce paired with creative bar food in a retro-chic setting.

WE LOVE LUDLOW!!! we moved to chicago from austin almost 4 years ago and we’re looking for a dive bar that reminded us of home but with the chicago feel too. this is the spot my now husband and I went for date night, wedding planning, and our welcome party for our wedding weekend! The staff is amazing and they were so kind to hold an area for the welcome party AND let us do karaoke—it was my dream celebration with friends and family! The food and drinks are incredible and they have all the options for gluten free, vegan, and NA, so all our guests felt so at home too! Thank you ludlow for being a part of our love story, i’m sure we will be there for a burger and high life this week!

Finally made it over to Ludlow to try the cheesesteak and it did not disappoint. It was so delicious and flavorful, the bread was incredible and the cheese was perfect. You could tell the meat was quality, and so lean and light, not at all heavy like some cheesesteaks can be. The onion rings were also delicious, and the drinks tasty as always. Looking forward to going back again soon and trying some other items on the food menu.

DJ that played night played cool hidden gem disco-era songs that brought the chill vibes. Loved the bittersweet baby drink.
Also enjoyed the Ludlow burger, the butter pickles gave it extra flavor

Got the Ludlow smash burger double patty. Great burger, wish it was a little bigger. The ambiance was great. Eclectic with interesting and random decor and lighting. Stumbled upon trivia night which are on Tuesdays.
Overall, great value for the money. Me and a friend had two cocktails each, two burgers, and their shareable fries for under $60 including tip. Def will be returning.

Excellent neighborhood spot!
The Kim-Cheese burger here is one of my favorite burgers in all of Chicago.
Additionally, they have creative drinks, good NA options, and an extremely welcoming staff. HIGHLY recommend!

Perfect atmosphere for a date night or meeting up with friends. The inside has such a cozy vibe to it and they have a wonderful back patio area as well.
The drinks are great and the food is too! Their French fries are sort of like McDonald’s but 10x better. They’ve got a small menu but options for vegetarians as well.

Came here on a Sunday evening to grab a couple drinks and food. Drinks were good and at a great price. Good selection of Draft beers. Bartender was friendly and was open to making drinks not on the menu so that was nice. Food was delicious. Burgers were kind of small in portion but if you get fries to go with it, you’ll get a huge portion that can easily be split with two people (or just keep to yourself!). Nice vibes inside. Will definitely be back.

I went here for a birthday party a few weeks ago and loved it. the atmosphere was great, the drinks and food were perfect. I also found there is a knife sharpening and knives for sale in the bar which was unexpected. I dropped off my knives which are 25 years old and they were returned razor sharp. I will definitely be back to get food, drink beer and have my knives serviced.

GREAT neighborhood spot! This is the perfect summer/fall patio. Come here after work, for happy hour, to get your Saturday started. This is the place. The bartenders and servers are great, as are the vibes and music. They have an excellent mocktail list in addition to the regular cocktail menu. We also had the burger and the katsu chicken and both were great, as were the fries. If I lived in the neighborhood I would definitely be a regular.
