This place had good ratings and it didn’t disappoint. Nice, friendly staff. Clean joint. Liked the 20 oz bar glasses – they just had a really solid feel to them (plus fill from the bottom for a perfect, foamless pour). The drink selection is fine if drinking, but don’t overlook the food – I tried the Med wrap, which I thought was very good (chicken was flavorful, and liked the touch of avocado). Seems like this place takes pride in their culinary work, with a lot of housemade items, which I appreciate. There were actually a lot of other more interesting items on the menu to try too by the way. I’ll probably go after the wings or the pretzel crusted chicken next time (I was trying to be healthier this go). Anyway, worth stopping by if in the area and looking for decent food and/or drinks.

I Love this family owned bar. They have great food and drinks with music. DJ’s on the weekends. Food I recommend is the steak sliders, Caesar salad, chop salad add grilled chicken, pretzel crusted chicken. They have their own special NV sauce you must try. I Will be returning.

Went for Happy Hour. Food and drinks were amazing at the HH price point.
Birria Egg Rolls – 5/5 – I was skeptical after reading so many glowing reviews…but these did not disappoint. Would definitely order again
Frites Street Fries – 5/5 – best fries I’ve had in a long time! Super crispy outside and amazingly fluffy inside
Pretzel Crusted Chicken Tenders – 3/5 – flavor was okay, but they were pretty dry

Great food! The grouper sandwich was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The chicken strips were more like patties and so crispy! Definitely worth a side order of them! All the drinks were very nice including the sangria’s. And I don’t like sangria. The Mixed Feelings drink was perfect! Buffalo eggrolls were a bit over flavored with buffalo but the birria eggrolls made up for it! The sliders were the most tender steak ive ever had. A bit on the higher end price wise but this is Chicago and is expected.

solid new place – burger and chicken sandwich were great. Brussels sprouts okay. Lamb egg rolls were like lamb tacos just with a different wrapping – okay. Wasn’t too busy on a weeknight, had a few open tables around. Chill vibe. Would come here again.

Great spot for late night food. Awesome selection of beers. Birria egg rolls are amazing. So are the chicken tenders. Cocktail list is very cool. Very chill atmosphere. They have random and dope selection of high end wines offered by the half or full glass! Can’t wait to come back.

Grab a spot at the bar ( knee friendly seat) — it’s snug, friendly, and perfect for chatting. The bartender is hilarious, super welcoming, and just casually drops that he can speak Greek. Love this place.

Our late-night dinner at No Vacancy Chicago was nothing short of exceptional! The **NV Burger** with an egg was an absolute standout—cooked to a perfect medium, with the patty juicy and flavorful, and the egg adding a rich, indulgent touch. Every bite was a delightful mix of savory goodness that truly satisfied. The **curly fries** were insanely good—crispy, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addictive. We loved them so much that we couldn’t help but order a second basket at **11 PM**—hands down, some of the **best fries I’ve ever had in Chicago**.
The **grilled chicken** was equally impressive—tender, moist, and packed with a deliciously smoky flavor. But what truly made the night memorable was **Kostas, the bartender**. He was an absolute **sweetheart**—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great experience. His warm hospitality added a personal touch that made us feel right at home.
**No Vacancy** truly delivers on quality food, great vibes, and top-notch service. We can’t wait to come back for more!
