The Dime

Came here for Brunch & Bottomless mimosas with the gals and ordered the skillet! I ordered it without meat and added Avocado to it. It was very good and cheesy, different bread woulda been better. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos which were pretty stuffed , the eggs were nice and fluffy. Her only complaint was that the salsa wasn't spicy. My other friend ordered chilaquiles, I tried one and I felt it coulda had more chile but if you like your chilaquiles on the crunchier side this is for you. I felt this was more like nachos with egg on it and would be better with some meat. Two of my friends had the chicken and waffles and the portion was pretty small The chicken pieces were thin and kinda dry but the waffle was decent. The service here is good and friendly. Great atmosphere, bar vibes, good music and everyone there seemed to be having a good time!

Hit this up on a weekend, because that's about the only time it seems to be open. It's more like a sports bar, but it has a party kind of vibe. The Dime certainly costs a lot more than a coin of course. Come here for late night fun, or brunch on a weekend morning. The nights are more like a club than a restaurant. After experiencing it at a few different times, I can say the best time to get food is at brunch. It takes forever at night to get any drinks. That means you can forget about any food. It's about $9 for a basic cocktail. While that is pretty high, that's close to what other hip spots in Lincoln Park are charging for that kind of shit. As for the food, it's not bad. Last time we got the Hangover Nachos. It's $11, which was the biggest complaint. The portion was pretty big though. It comes with cheese, eggs, and sour cream, but I got my half without these and just got extra vegetables to make up for it. There's not much else here that's vegan friendly it seems. Consider getting reservations if going later. It gets jam packed at night. The music is okay mostly but sometimes the DJ is annoying as fuck and you got to get out of there.

My friend & I came here for the 2-hour bottomless mimosa brunch. The atmosphere was awesome & so fun. They had really fun music playing & the staff was really nice. We didn't book a reservation so we sat at the bar. They had a limited menu for the day (Saturday) so we ordered the skillet breakfast & French toast. Both were really good! Nice sizes & good quality. We split each dish & still didn't finish them. We had probably 3 bottles of champagne & our tab was right at $100. Definitely a good time but it did fill up quick so make sure to book ahead especially if you have a large group!

I went here over the summer with my boyfriend for a little date before going to a party. The Dime is definitely a unique place in the Lincoln Park Chicago area - it's known for its bathroom that has famous people's mugshots plastered all over! I would recommend coming to The Dime solely for partying/dancing at night and their drinks. I would not come here for a date or to get food with friends or family. The food was alright, the drinks were good, and the service was great! It's definitely a clubby feel with a DJ playing in the center and it's always dimly lit if lit at all. It was hard to hear my boyfriend who was sitting across from me, but then again like I said, this is more of a going out place than a sit down and eat place. I liked it here but I would only go here next time to dance or have fun, not necessarily for the food!!

Came here mainly for bottomless mimosas (day brunching) & heard good things about the vibe! Music was good, dancing the entire 2.5 hours we were there. Also, service was A-1 steak sauce. I would go back, especially being in a good location, Lincoln Park. There's lots to do around there & especially in the summer/nice weather. Fun times! Only thing to keep in mind, tight squeeze at this place. Not the biggest venue in Chicago or on that block probably but they work with what they have! Also also, their bathroom is cool with the mugshots of celebrities = creative. Chicken & waffles were awesome with spicy syrup and Avocado Toast was magnificently flavorful. One of the better avocado toast I've had. Personal Review: 7.1/10

There are a number bars on this stretch of Lincoln Ave, and sometimes it may hard to distinguish many of them for each other. However, there are many as aspects of the The Dime that differentiate it from the other places in the area. First, it's a Big Ten Bar. If this important to you and you are a fan or or went to a Big Ten school, this is a plus. Second, it has a little something for everyone. They have a number of TVs if you are sports fan and play cool music to listen to if sports isn't your thing. Third, the food is good. It's nothing fancy, just good bar good. I've been here twice, and enjoyed the food each time. On my first trip I ordered chicken wings, waffle fries and a chicken sandwich stuffed with Mac n cheese (I don't recall the name). I liked each dish, but the way to go are the wings. They were on par with any of great wings I've had in Chicago. My second, and most recent trip, was to try their current Friday special. It's $25.00 for a double cheeseburger with waffle fries and two hours of all you can drink beer. The burger was good and fries were crispy. My only issue was that pretzel bun was a bit salty. Overall for the price, and with beer included, it's a good burger at a good price. For beer, I got a buckets of Bud Light and Coronas. Not the best beer in all the world, but for the price, on a Friday night and in Lincoln Park, this is a great deal. Overall, if you are looking for a good bar with good food this a place to check out.

This is my go-to brunch spot! The vibe is always fun! Is it a club? Is it a bar/pub? It is both! And I love it! Dress up or come dressed down, when you're done drinking, it's all fun stuff in the end! They have theeeee best margarita towers 88ozs and let me tell you...these bartenders will make it worthwhile!!! I love that you get a bottle of champagne for $25! The chicken and waffles are $12! The chicken is perfect with honey drizzled on it! (I don't like the waffles they are too thick! They need to be light and fluffier!) I pair my drunk with pineapple juice, it comes with it age juice! And please...try the frozen slushee which was mango and tequila it berry with vodka! Delicious! And I love their chicken wings!

Writing this review for CHRISTINA!! very cute very slay. she was so sweet to me and my friends and we can be pretty annoying. u know the vibes. also love the music !!!

Showed up at the time of our reservation on a Thursday night. Door was locked, lights were off, and no one was inside. Left and went across the street.

Met up with friends to celebrate some Aries birthdays. They picked this location because of brunch deals. However on this day, the chef was sick so food was limited. We still enjoyed the mimosa which were $25 a person. The vibe on this occasion was chill. Our bartender said that the place is normally busy. Only a dozen people on the day we were there. I would come back to check out the brunch scene on a normal day.
