Reviews for City Winery Chicago in Chicago, IL
Great experience. Super cute place, walking distance from where we stayed. Food was amazing, wine was ok, service was good. Kind... of pricey. The Chris Greene Quartet was absolutely a wonderful experience. Read more
8/12 Oh so nice! Dave Hollister was ???????? Backing singers and band were ???????? I was happy to see that City Winery... reconfigured the seating in the area up close to the stage to make it a little more comfortable and less clustered. I ordered 2drinks during the show. They were supposed to be the Spritz. The first one was great, refreshing and not too sweet. The secondone was overly sweet ?????????. I sent it back and it was replaced with another OVERLY SWEET drink. Rather than send the secondone back I just added water to it. Problem solved ??????????? I love the intimacy of this venue so I will come back again andagain and in every city I visit where there is a CW. Read more

City Winery Chicago offers up great performances in a very intimate, casual setting. Had the opportunity to see Venezuelan... singer Nella along with her three outstanding musicians. Set in the West Loop, there are plenty of places to park aroundRandolph street or pony up for a $16 Valet. The entrance and lobby is a mixture of stone and wood akin to a welcoming chalet.After a quick check for ID & Vaccines, attendees are treated with hosted table seating. Menu is simple, food & wine or beers.Sharing is recommended as well as going for the 1L pours. Ordered enough to graze throughout the night but nothing to large tohamper the enjoyment of Nella. The venue is really well planned for acoustic shows, and her sound just pulled the crowd in. Willbe back to City Winery Chicago to enjoy more of the fine dining and shows. Read more
The performance of Kindred & the Family Soul is the reason for this rating. We arrived at 7pm, which was plenty of time before... the 9pm performance. We were literally running to get in line to see the show. What happened?! We believe our waiter forgot toput our orders in when we initially ordered. The place was busy but not crowded. Our waiter didn’t write our orders, committedit to memory but something got lost along the way. I had the short rib. It was fatty. My husband had the burger. It was charredand it didn’t look very inviting. The chicken dish was spicy and overrun with garnish. The wine flight wasn’t great either.The dessert we had…apple pie flatbread. They need not bother with dessert. Kindred & the Family Soul were great! I’d notrecommend dining her before the show. The neighborhood is bustling with better dining options. Read more
We picked City Winery for our March 2020 wedding (you know where this is headed) and immediately loved the convenience of... multiple spaces to work with and basically everything but DJ, Photography, and Flowers being part of the package. We were allready to go and Kelsey had been wonderful the whole way through. 3 weeks before our date we expressed concerns about COVID andwere told that whatever we needed to do they could work with (the benefit of working with a venue that is also a restaurantmeans they can afford to be a little flexible). 2 weeks before our date however, the decision was made for us and everythingshut down. Over the next 18mo we worked with a few different planners but they were so kind and great to work with as werescheduled not once but 3 times. I so appreciated their understanding that we are all going through a crazy time and I HIGHLYrecommend them as a venue. We lucked out with shockingly warm October weather and we’re able to hold our entire small weddingoutdoors. Melissa was our final event planner and worked through every detail and question. The staff is great. The food isamazing. My guests loved every minute. Read more
Visited earlier this year for two nights of Candlebox. One of my favorite bands ever. I'm over 40, and I'm nursing a ruptured... Achilles tendon (trampoline park mishap)[I'm over 40, remember?] so the prospect of sitting down and chillin' and just watchinga band I love do acoustic numbers all night long was definitely something I could get behind. Initially I had a ticket to thesecond night only, but some friends of mine offered me a free one to the first night, so I went. My seats both nights wereliterally right next to each other, so I had the same view, but it was perfect. Great food menu too! I had dinner both nights Iattended and good wine. I even got a really cool collectible, a bottle of wine with a label commemorating the two nights. I hadto get one. Thanks so much for hosting these incredible events. I'd absolutely return. Read more
