City Social - Chicago, Illinois

I am part of a Real Estate Investment Group that meets in the building with the bowling alley at the top floor. The first time that I stepped foot into this space it was mesmerizing! The new environment is definitely my cup of tea. This establishment was built in the early 1900s and has been refurbished and reconditioned to match its original eloquent yet unrefined manufacturing era decor. The original rolling winch that was used in the manufacturing facility along with all of the structural steel and brick has been cleaned and restored to its original state. I love my investment Group and this facility makes the experience all the more exciting! I haven't gotten a chance to eat at any of the restaurants on site but the service and cleanliness of the facilities is superb. If you hadn't got a chance to go check out City social then I definitely recommend getting by like ASAP. This is a must-see and is definitely a very welcome addition to the Baton Rouge food and social scene. This is basically a small little community in itself and fosters community relationships and the like with it's welcoming environment and atmosphere. It is like an explosion of artistic insight with architectural brilliance that come together so eloquently.

7 of us went to lunch on a weekday and the service was fast. Perfect option for a team lunch in the middle of the day with great ambiance.
Some dishes were better than others. The online menu was not up to date. I wish they let mix and match the tacos!

City Social is a solid downtown spot—great for after-work drinks or catching a game with good eats. I grabbed the smash burger ($16) with fries, and it was juicy, cheesy, and perfectly crispy on the edges. Also tried the Buffalo chicken egg rolls ($14)—crispy, spicy, and just the right amount of kick. The beer list had a nice mix of local drafts, and the old fashioned ($12) was smooth and well-balanced. Service was friendly, and the vibe was polished but still chill. Spent around $40 with drinks, and I’d definitely come back.

We went here for dinner before going to the Cadillac Theater for a show. The restaurant is huge. While we were there it had a table of 30 volleyball players. They had their drinks and food out so smoothly. So definitely great for big groups. I started out with a City Sunset cocktail. It was delicious! Then I ordered their guacamole and pico de gallo and chips. It was a little pricey for what it was but it was good. For my entree I got this skirt steak and it came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was also tasty. I thought the portion size for the mashed potatoes was pretty small. My hubby got the short ribs. It was also tasty and the meat was juicy. All and all it was a nice dinner. They have a lot of draft beer and a full bar. They also have outdoor seating. There is something I didn't like. When you ordered a pop you got a can. So every time you wanted a refill they would charge you for a new can. For me I prefer fountain pop especially at a bar. They don't have Heinz ketchup and I feel the A1 sauce was filled with a generic A1 sauce. Under the bar they have a bunch of outlets to charge your phone and a hook for your purse. It was clean and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. They also have a lot of options on their menu. Lots of good looking salads.

This restaurant has a lot of space, I can see it being packed when the Chicago Bulls are playing. It had a steady flow of customers that were ready to drink and it seemed like the establishment served them well. The food wasn’t bad, they brought their own twist to quesadillas. I want to come back to try other bar food and see if there is any outstanding item that they can hang their hat on. The staff were great, very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a great experience and I want to come back.

I went there on Monday the 24th with a friend for lunch. We got 2 drinks and 2 salads and it was $70 total. I’m giving it a 1 because both of us got food poisoning at the same time and it was after we ate there and we got different salads. I tried calling the number on the website but it is out of service. So I left a message via contact on the website asking for a refund since it was quite expensive for something you don’t even have to cook only to get food poison for like 2days. I have heard nothing from them in wanting to reach out to me and I find that quite disappointing. I was really hoping they would reach out and at least apologize.
As someone who has been in the food industry food safety is a priority. It tells me that the food practice is done correctly and that employees wash their hands and ingredients correctly and not using expired products. The wait staff was very friendly so I had no issues there. Personally I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you want overpriced diarrhea and stomach issues.

Delicious food, we ordered the carna asada flatbread and sliders for lunch. 10/10 on both items, the flatbread was spicy but a flavorful spice that wasn't overpowering and complimented well.

The drinks were good. Our favorite was the city sunset.

The flatbread and sliders with 6 or 7 drinks was around $120

Very busy. Very loud. Very good. Excellent choice of beers, wines and spirits. The staff are really on the ball. 14 big screens showing all available sports. I didn't eat but what I saw looked pretty good.
