Gold Coast Social

Came to celebrate my brother in laws birthday. We did not eat, we were there to drink and have a good time. I do want to come back to try the food, but our experience was still just as good. Great drink selection, great bottle service, the employees were all friendly and helpful. Good music and just good vibes!

Came here for a girls day brunch and it did not disappoint! We got there fairly early and after about 20 minutes it started to get really busy. A few of us had the bottomless mimosas and the rest had the margarita flights. Both were really good. Our server was attentive and did a great job of explaining everything since it was our first time. Food came out and it was really good! We had chilaquiles, chicken and waffles - I would recommend both! Once our brunch time was done a few of us stayed at the bar. Johnny was AMAZING. Very attentive even though the bar was really busy. Drinks were good, music was good and the vibe was perfect for a Sunday brunch. Would recommend and planning to go again.

Great vibe, great music, great service ... just don't get the avocado toast lol. I mean it was good, but at least the other picture someone posted looks like sourdough bread ... mine feels like a slice of wonderbread. Everyone else's food looked good though, they kept the mimosas coming, no complaints on any of that. I mean, maybe two slices of bread? I'd still go back, I'd just order something else

Bought a $40 bottomless expresso martini package with a group of 5. At first, we were worried since the restaurant didn't seem to be familiar with the package details that Bucketlisters had listed on their website. But wow, they made sure to deliver on hospitality! Our bartender was the BEST. He took care of our drink needs, suggested great food items and let us have our fun. If you go for food, I suggest later in the afternoon since it's hard to justify the vibe in the early morning. The area is definitely made for partying. Given this is a newer place, I'm giving 5 stars. Big potential here and awesome experience for us all. We'll probably be back for the late night crowd!

Good spot for grabbing a snack and drink after work. They don't have any draft beers; and had 3 beers available modelo, Miller lite & 1 other. The fried pickles had a good crunch. The server was pretty quick and friendly. Flatbread wise it was fine- exactly what I'd expect of bar food. They seem to have a lot of random specials. I was surprised they didn't have draft beers after the advertisement showed a beer in a beer stein. The special advertised was also a bit different than what I'd expect reading it.Online it advertised live music on Fridays. I was there 6-7ish & they hadn't begun- so it's likely a later night situation. Overall it's a cute spot with ok food & drinks. Not sure how the prices fluctuate from Happy hour to evening to late night, The interior is fun. I imagine later in the night it's a popular spot for 20 something's.

Such a fun birthday brunch for a friend. GCS has bottomless mimosas for $35 (we never saw the bottom) & all kinds of fun holiday drinks/food options right now! Highly recommend for a fun day celebration for a friend

Absolutely the worst predatory practices! I never save my receipts by I did this time because something didn't seem right with the pricing. Upon reviewing, they add on a 20% automatic gratuity which is not ethical/legal with out informing the customer. There is also a processing/card fee of like 3% of the total. I tipped in addition to all of these charges and I almost paid more for charges than actual drinks. I spoke with the owner who assured me he would do the right thing and refund me the money. He went ghost. I am reporting him to the city and the Illinois Bar and Restaurant Association. From the looks of the reviews--a lot of people agree! I also plan of calling the news media to cover these post COVID predatory practices by money hungry individuals!

Worse place in Chicago. Was celebrating my homegirl's bachelorette party. We were looking for a nice club/lounge to attend. The security staff was extremely rude to all of the women in the party and men. Even bystanders on the street were a palled at how the security officers were talking to my friends. I would never support a location that treat their customers in such a manner.

Honestly the most horrible service ever. We had a brunch reservation and 2+ hours later and we had still not been seated. What is the point of a reservation if you're going to have us wait hours. We ended up leaving because we refused to wait any longer. A birthday brunch ruined truly. Please take your brunch elsewhere because they do not care about your reservations. There are so many better locations I've been to with better service.
