Reviews for Carbon Arc Bar & Board in Chicago, IL
We came in Thursday to grab dinner prior to our movie. We sat at the bar & got 2 orders of fish tacos & a beer for my husband.... I’m pregnant so I asked for the mojito with no alcohol. I was a little embarrassed to order that but the bartender Ian was sonice & accommodating. It was so tasty. Our food came and the fish tacos were delicious! We ordered the churros for dessert & wowwere they good! They were warm & crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside & came with an ancho Chile dipping sauce! Thefood was great but my review is really for the service! Ian was so warm & welcoming! And very attentive, even making sure to askwhat time our movie was so as to make sure the food came out quickly. When the bill came Ian didn’t charge me for my mocktail& applied a Thursday special discount that we weren’t aware of. Our bill only came out to be like $35 for 2 meals, multipledrinks & dessert! I left a $20 tip as Ian totally deserved it! He even gave us to go cups for our water for the movie. It waswonderful service but he just seems like a really good guy. It really makes me want to come every Thursday to eat, see a movie &get served by Ian again! We’ll definitely be back. Read more

The food is always good and the cocktails are tasty. Our servers have always been really nice too!
Best part of going to Davis theater is you can go to carbon arc afterwards to eat. I still dream about their fries . I'm sure... they are double fried. Some how its soft and chewy in the inside and super crispy on the outside. Not too thin , justright Also got the smash burger with bacon, brussel sprouts, cheese curds, fish taco, churros. Everything was nicely done andperfect for an evening Highly recommend coming here for just drinks even + their fries and curds before a movie. Their drinksare pretty good like the new dirty martini More on Instagram @midwestmunching Read more
Had dinner at 5pm on a Friday night and had our pick of tables. Great, friendly service. I ordered a beer (bodem), shared the... roasted brussel sprouts app, and had a smashburger (double patty, lettuce, onion, tomato and cheese). The burger comeshalf-wrapped in insulated paper, which keeps it hot and the cheese melted while also making it easier to pick up and put backdown. The fries came in a mini replica of a fry basket, and were crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside; just right. Thebrussel sprouts were outstanding, coming with a red thai sauce that was sweeter than it was spicy, and went well with theblackened, roasty flavor of the b sprouts. We had our water refilled and were checked on a few times. In and out in an hour, intime to catch a 6pm showing at the Davis next door (connected). Read more
Horrible. 12 inch pizzas weren’t even 10 inches, and the ingredients only covered the middle 4”. Curds frozen on inside and... how is that an order? Chicken not cooked through. Read more
Stumbled upon Carbon Arc while walking through Lincoln Square. Was looking for a few cocktails and they had a wonderful... selection. Tried the peach old fashioned and it was super smooth and well presented. Also tried their puppy chow and everythingbut the bagel popcorn. Was a nice snack to enjoy with our drinks. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. Will have tocome back and check out more food options prior to a movie! Read more
