Bandit

Some work friends and I had a going away party for a colleague at Bandit and it was absolutely delightful. The drinks, food and service were all excellent and we had a terrific time. We sat outside on the back patio (is there anything better than an adorable patio on an early summer night?) and the drinks never stopped coming. I'm not entirely sure whether the restaurant's music is chosen by guests via Touchtunes or if it's a staff-curated playlist, but it was all 2000s pop hits and we loved it. I also heard that the bathrooms were plastered in early 2000s decor. The menu is really fun and everything I tried was great - I was particularly fond of the "Frigid Bitch" frozen cocktails and the "mozz thiccs" (giant mozzarella sticks). We also had an appetizer involving pancakes and chicken and it made me smile. I would definitely visit Bandit again!ETA: patio is dog-friendly! Always a plus.

Perfect vibe perfect Ambiance We got over there very late so the kitchen was closed so tried the drinks they are amazing Kamakaize shots are amazing You can just visit over there for a vibe with bunch of friends Highly recommend

Came here for brunch with friends. We loved it here. The deejay was jammin, the space looked cool and our sever (ugh, can't remember her name, maybe Naomi, [blonde, worked upstairs on 3/31]) was so amazingly accommodating and sweet. The waffle was delicious. The short rib Benedict was do tender and flavorful. It was my favorite. The chilaquiles were also a hit. I would definitely try this restaurant again for brunch.

Surprisingly, I've never been to bandit before and man, I have missed out!! What a perfect spot right in the heart of west loop for an outing with friends or even a casual date! The food, the drinks, the service, the vibes, everything was exactly what we hoped for it to be for a Sunday brunch. We ended up getting the avocado toast and the southwestern salad with chicken, along with some delicious tequila shots and their freshly squeezed orange juice and green juice (it's all about that balance right?!?). The avocado toast was probably one of the best I've ever had - the bread was toasted to perfection, the guac was delicious, and the egg was just runny enough! It all went together perfectly. The southwestern chicken salad was SOOO FREAKING GOOD! It had big pieces of avocado, grilled chicken, black beans, corn, pico, and crispy tortilla strips on the top! It felt like a deconstructed burrito bowl, but healthier!! 10/10 for sure!! If you're in the west loop area, you have to go here!! You will NOT be disappointed!

Good happy hour, good service and they sell half bottles of rosè. Like actual smaller bottles. You can even drink it out of a straw if you want. Fun!

My friends and I were at Bandit last weekend to celebrate after party on St. Patty's. This place has amazing vibes and good music, always! They played a lot of Throwback hits on my recent visit which everyone really enjoyed! I've never been to Bandit and gotten disappointed. We ordered a couple of shots and Vodka soda for the night. They don't serve food and convert the entire space into a dancing club in the night. I've also been to Bandit previously in the evenings as well and had cauliflower bites and an Aperol while waiting for my reservation around the neighbourhood. This place is always welcoming, good service, decent food and great drinks! Fun Fact: We randomly saw LIB's star cast at Bandit last year, so we know this place is quite popular amongst all!

Our bottle was warm and the table was a high top table for two. Of all the bottle service I've done, this was hands down the worst. Appreciate the manager trying to help but this was just embarrassing. Do not try to pass off random high top tables in the back of the bar as "bottle service" tables. I've done bottle service here before too so this threw me for a loop. So many great spots in west loop/fulton market with better bottle service. Won't be back.

Our food was delicious. My friends and I came here for Sunday brunch. Our waitress, Tiffany, was great, very attentive. I will definitely be back.

First time at the Bandit and had a decent experience. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. The Bandit is a contemporary dive bar so it is very lively and has a very cool look to it. Also a very cool girl's bathroom. I was hoping for the food to be better, but I think I chose the wrong item. I had the cinnamon rolls with bacon on the side. I wanted something sweet and was looking forward to the Nashville hot chicken and pancakes, but they are savory pancakes, not sweet pancakes. My cocktail was also not what I was expecting. I got the Gold Digger because I love Aperol Spritz but it was an Aperol Spritz on a different level. If you are looking for different food and cocktails, the Bandit is for you.

Lizzy is my favorite server of all time, she made my birthday dinner so fun, best server out there. Mine and my boyfriends birthday dinner was as so fun because of her!! Thank you LIZZIE !!!!
