The Moonlighter

Cute hipster bar m near Humboldt park with a good amount of vegetarian/vegan options!We ordered the beyond burger with regular cheese, fries, vegan taco, and the Buffalo vegan wings.We honestly really liked all of it! The burger is a lot bigger than I expected but perfectly seasoned and delicious! The fries were ok but come with a really good aioli. The beyond meat in the vegan taco was seasoned really well! It's a pretty small taco but If you come on a Tuesday they do taco Tuesday deals! We also got the vegan Buffalo wings which were SO good! I actually usually hate Buffalo because It's too tangy but this was the perfect amount of spicy/tangy and actually tasted like real chicken! They have both outdoor and indoor seating and a good selection of beer!

Summer in Chicago means one thing - patio season! A major highlight here is the patio, making Moonligther a great choice for casual get togethers with friends. Food is what you would expect at a sports bar and tasted fine. With Wednesday night trivia and wall mounted TVs, you're paying for the vibes more than the food here anyways.

The ambience is great with outdoor and indoor seating and there are three fireplaces and it's very cozy. Sports Lodge with a sports bar at the same time. They have happy hour Mondays all throughout the day and night. They have cheap tacos on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is trivia night. The food is like pub food and it's not great but it's good and enjoyable with your drinks. I would say mostly the atmosphere is great and there's some free parking on the side streets and metered parking on the main streets. They allow dogs in the outdoor seating area, so there were a lot of cute dogs to look at while eating. The host is very nice.

Great food, fast service, and dog friendly. Good vibes. We like the Moonlighter! Burgers are fantastic, taco park comes with a shot of whiskey!

On one of those evenings where I wanted to just lounge around and order without going anywhere, I ordered from 'The Moonlighter' via Yelp with Grubhub delivery. At the time, it was one of the few restaurants that offered delivery once I broadened my search to at least 3-miles out from my residence.On the menu, I was instantly drawn to the Vegan BBQ Burger because I admit it, I am weak when it comes to barbecue! There, I said it! And I must say that for it being a sports bar, the menu does appear to be vegan friendly with some of the items featured.It took forty-five minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Grubhub to the arrival of it at my residence. A shout out to the Grubhub delivery driver for making that happen within a reasonable timeframe.Initially looking at the Vegan BBQ Burger, I said to myself, "That is huge!" because it appeared bigger than I imagined. As I took each bite of it, I had a smirk on my face. At one point, I could not help but shake my head and moan because it was so delicious! It was certainly enjoyed from the initial bite to the last, * chef's kiss *.Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would gladly order from 'The Moonlighter' again whether it be in-restaurant or via Grubhub delivery.Recommendations: Vegan BBQ Burger, Beyond Burger, Vegan Wings, Crunchy Vegan Taco, Brussels Sprouts, French Fries, Cheese Fries, or Tater Tots.~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~Thomas G

This is a great bar/restaurant. The menu is limited, burgers, tacos, salads, and chicken wings, but for every non-vegan item, there is a vegan counterpart. The vegan wings were my favorite. The vegan BBQ burger was really good, too. Strangely, the burger buns were what stood out. They were amazing. The service was good. I'm giving it 4, not 5 stars, because there wasn't anything phenomenal. It was perfectly fine bar food.

Cool place that's like a hipster sports bar. It has a lot of the typical things you'll find, plus a few others. The Moonlighter is known for the burgers, with some available for both meat eaters and vegans. Fun but relaxing atmosphere. You can watch a game or participate in things like trivia. After looking up a few close by sports bars, we came here. It had a good crowd but we were still able to get bar seats. There's a few big TVs. Good place for watching a game. We were impressed by the menu. Healthy for a bar. Lots of stuff for vegans. Also drinks. Prices are about what to expect. It's about $12 for a cocktail. The one I got was the Fly By Night. It's Amaro Noveis, Bonded bourbon, Giffard Rhubarb Liqueur, and lemon. Some high end ingredients in there. Each of us got one of the vegan cheeseburgers. It's about $14 for these. These are pretty big though. I got the Vegan BBQ Cheeseburger. This is a Beyond Burger with barbecue sauce, vegan cheese, fried onions, and pickles. Filling burger. This makes a healthier yet tasty alternative to the meaty stuff. Have to hit this place up again. It's on Armitage closest to the California CTA station. There's a whole lot of traditional barbecue offerings plus lots more for vegans and vegetarians.

Great staff, amazing burger, and fun atmosphere. Drinks were ok. I will def return with friends!

They got rid of the corn salad. So I'm getting rid of one of their stars. So there!Besides that, still fantastic. Lots of good beers, and a fun atmosphere to watch various sports-ball.

You know, my gut was telling me to take my group to another spot when we saw that they sell hard-shelled tacos. We also struggled to find something to eat; for 4 or 5 items per section, it really felt like options were minimal. We ended up staying and then realized that I should've trusted my gut. While we appreciated the prompt and kind service, the food was a complete 180. My dad's (overpriced for 4 ingredients) salad was 90% lettuce with a sprinkle of everything else. However, we do appreciate the kitchen accommodating him (since the "kitchen was slow") and subbing grilled chicken as breaded chicken is oddly the only type of chicken they offer.My boyfriend's buffalo chicken wrap (I'm no chef but breaded chicken for a buffalo wrap is weird) was mid, according to him.I cautiously went with the wings, and thankfully I got the jelly-textured smokey mesquite sauce on the side because it ended up tasting terrible. I asked for BBQ and that improved the the chicken by a little. My brussel sprouts? They roasted tf outta them. They were so thoroughly cooked that there was barely any brussel sprout left; soon as you took the first bite, the entire thing turned into burnt, flavorless dust in your mouth. We liked the service, food & music, but this will be the first and last time we come here until they improve or expand the menu. Also, for the love of all things culinary, please offer alternatives to panko chicken and uphold the good name of tacos and switch to corn tortillas.
