Dunning Pour House - Chicago

Who doesn't know how amazing this place is? I live right down the street and this place is always full but never so crowded that you don't get your drink refilled or your food within a reasonable time. the wait staff is awesome, and the customers are public service workers, locals from neighborhood, and all-around good people. Never a problem here, great food, and special days for certain drink specials.

Beautiful neighborhood bar with lots of charm. Great service and great staff. It was our first time there. Both my wife and I ordered the beefcake hamburger one with fries and one with tots . I started out with the tater tots that tasted like corn tortillas and then I tried my wife’s fries, which also tasted like corn tortillas and burned oil. I guess the beefcake hamburger supposed to be Wagyu beef, which it was dry and tasted like flat grill that wasn’t cleaned properly, this is not a review to criticize your food. I just think if the owner would tweak a few things for example, not using the same fryer for tortillas, which have a very strong flavor that affects other foods and divide the griddle and four and use 1/4 for beef 1/4 for fish 1/4 for vegetables 1/4 for buns that their food would be amazing the Wagyu beef patty unfortunately I could tell from a mile away that it was frozen and it was dry and that’s a pity. Paying $17 for a wagyu hamburger that is dry is not expensive but also is disappointing because when I heard Wagyu and I’ve had A5 Wagyu many times it just melts in your mouth I wish they would takeoff the frozen patty from the menu, make your own blend of beef and become a very very well established neighborhood bar with great food. I would love to see more attention to detail on the food. I know that a bar makes money and drinks but I don’t drink much I like very good food and if you could capture both expects people will come in not just a drink and your average ticket per table would be way higher and you attract other people from other areas but I did appreciate the service. I did appreciate the establishment and I love that old bar. I will be coming back more and more and hopefully see more changes on the food

I really love this place. I’ve been here twice and I absolutely adore their food. I recommend starting with the cheese curds, Pour House Burger with TOTS as your entree (heavy emphasis on tots because they taste better than the fries), and then topping it off with carrot cake. It’s made in-house! Of course, they have a great collection of spirits. Their Manhattan and Sangria are my go to favorites.

First time here and omg what a hidden gem! Food is AMAZING best bar food I ever had hands down. Better than many local restaurants. Jen our server was terrific. Try the peach moonshine jalapeño cornbread !Food: 5/5

Our fave in the neighborhood. The burger, sheet pan steak nachos, fish tacos, cheese curds, tomato bisque and buffalo dip are incredible.
