Pour Decisions

100/100 Hands down. Droped in randomly on a Thursday evening and they had a $10 burger special. Why not right? Yeahhhh we made a really good choice. Our server was phenomenal and sweet. Very attentive and knew how to help us make food decisions. To pair with my burger I ordered the blood on the leaves cocktail which is whiskey base. The bartender did not disappoint and it was incredibly strong. Definitely a sipper type of cocktail. The medium well done burger was charred perfectly on the outside while still super juicy on the inside. I literally can swear that this burger melted in my mouth. I haven't had a burger this good in so long. The chef, Alex, did his thaaaang. So much so I had to meet him and tell him. I definitely will be returning for sure.

Great spot for a weeknight drink. The open air concept is nice in summer. Drinks were good and servers were nice. Can't speak to the food since I didn't have any but found out they have a bottomless wing special and trivia on Wednesday nights.

I went here after seeing a show at the Apollo theatre and it was great!!! The inside looks very nice and is decorated with televisions lol I love it! The tacos were extremely tasty, I loved the spicy sauce on the side!! The Margarita I had was pretty tasty ! Service was quick and very satisfying the team was attentive and even gave us great recommendations! I will surely be back to visit this place again!

So many daily specials at this establishment. My favorite day to stop by is on Wednesday for the AYCE wings that literally fall off the bone. Any day of the week this place has delicious cocktails that are sure not to disappoint.

Came here for a drink & an apps before our dinner reservation across the street. Place had a lot of specialty options. They did have a half off happy hour (but basically any of the specialty cocktails were included). There was no signage or promotion to this (we were basically told this after we decided on our drinks). Price range is pretty high. We got the truffle fries and they were good but nothing special for the price. Server was friendly but was pretty busy with the other tables so it was hard to track her down when we were all set for the bill.

Have been wanting to try Pour Decisions since it opened. I like this place! An extremely friendly and genuine bartender and decent food. Not sure if it was just for football but they had an excellent burger deal - $8 with fries. The place is nicely renovated but wouldn't say that there is anything unique about the ambiance. Come for a good conversation and a beer!

Good place to go if you make lots of poor decisions. It certainly can make you feel better it seems. Pour Decisions is one of the newer places in Lincoln Park for getting drinks, food, and whatever. Has live entertainment. The prices aren't that good, but aren't that bad for the area to be honest. Came in the evening after a busy time and needed some good drinks and food. It has the good drinks at least. The food was pretty average, and on top of that, expensive for that kind of stuff. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktail. Too much. I got the Lincoln Park Paloma, because it was the cheapest. We got the Black Truffle Fries. It's $12, but it's big. The food options are pretty lacking and not much besides greasy fried type of stuff. For the average food and prices, we may not come back. It's in a hip area, so they can get away with it. There's not much on the menu to eat for vegans and vegetarians.

Stopped in early evening on a weekday for a couple drinks. The bartender was absolutely amazing. He was well versed on the menu and cocktail making in general. I had asked for a rum based cocktail on the menu (the only one), but they were phasing that one out (seasonal). He offered to make me something else rum based and asked my flavor profiles. Both drinks were fantastic! My friend got a couple from the menu and really enjoyed them too. The ambiance started off pretty standard, but then there was live jazz music being played later in the evening which was wonderful! 100% will return. We didn't try the food on this visit, but I intend to next time.

First of all, the staff was extremely welcoming to my party and me, even after having a few drinks before entering the bar. The bartender was extremely light hearted and funny and took our orders very quickly, including our food orders and do NOT miss out on the food.Each of us ordered something different but NONE of us were disappointed in the slightest, actually the opposite! Which is very impressive considering there was one lone soldier in the back as the chef, who is also the best damn chef alive (please try the fall off the bone wings, you will NOT be disappointed if you get the Pour Decision Sauce)! He was so nice that he even gave our table, who was already raving about his food, extra tenders he made just for the hell of it!The bar has great, diverse music as well and nice personalities floating in and out as well, so definitely give it a try! I normally don't even write reviews on Yelp, but they deserve it! 10/10 WILL come again, thank you all for taking care of us so well (if you ever see this!)

Gratuity not included on purpose?My friends and I stopped over last night, randomly picking Pour Decisions bc it's halfway between our apartments. We were so delighted to discover it was ladies night and that wine was half off and I also got a reduced price espresso martini that I enjoyed. Service was not great but the server was so friendly and cool and the only person we saw serving, so we gave her a pass even though we had to keep asking for water refills. Ok here's where the feeling was not right: gratuity. We were charged an automatic gratuity and that was not anywhere on the menu and not communicated to us by the waitress. The credit charge had a tip line on it, so naturally, I paid because that's the receipt I looked at and it didn't say gratuity included and the server didn't say the usual Chicago line about extra gratuity if you choose. It's on me that I didn't realize until later that there was a gratuity included on the original receipt ( though percentage not indicated), but I imagine this happens a lot to people, especially people who just get drinks. It's honestly a turn off to going back. I've never been to a bar or other establishment in Chicago that hasn't made their policy clear.
