We came here after the Christmas Tree Lighting and it was packed! Surprisingly we were seated pretty quickly and service was nice and welcoming. I got the Golden Honey Margarita to start and it was nice and strong with a hint of sweetness. My partner got the Cranberry Mojito and it was so delicious. To eat I got the Sunny Side Up burger, it was very juicy and cooked perfectly. My partner went with the Southwest Chicken Wrap and she too thought it was delicious. We both loved the fries they were perfectly salted and had a nice crisp and fluff to it. A solid place to grab a bite, prices are fair for a downtown restaurant.

I had the sunny side up burger. The egg and burger itself were cooked perfectly. Waitress was very helpful and came by to check on us frequently. They have a pretty good beer list if you are into that sort of thing, with lots of local brews. Coming from Texas, It was kinda pricey for a burger to me, but seemed to be about right compared to other reasonable places to eat a nice dinner. It has a good mix of bar/restaurant space so there is room for everyone. Decor is modern with lots of windows around the perimeter for people watching. You can sit outside too. Its an easy walk from most of the hotels downtown and is also close to the park and the "bean". I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger for a decent price.

Grabbed dinner and drinks here prior to seeing Joe Rogan at the Chicago Theatre. Service was top notch, food was fantastic and the ambience/vibes were great! Mojito was made perfect each time and quick, never an empty glass on the table.
Looking forward to coming back in the future when we make it out to the city! Keep up the great work management, server was super friendly and one of the best I can honestly say!

Sat at the bar for late dinner, sort of upscale, just ok pub food, many craft beers to choose from. 5* for great friendly service and the fact the server remembered I stated a food allergy and had the dish flagged. Multiple in & outside seating options, accessible restrooms.

We recently moved into a place a few hundred feet from here and notice this place is open late at night but never tried it. We decided to stop in for a late breakfast. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. There were three of us and two shared a French toast and cinnamon bun and the other had a chicken chopped salad. The two people could not finish the French toast and cinnamon bun so they took it home. Everything we had was good. The bill came to $49.49 without the tip. We will be back for some late night snacks one day.

We went there for a late dinner, had limited menu for the last hour.
Our server was helpful and friendly. The small late menu was not bad at all. We tried sweetwater burgers and pretzel bites. The fries and pretzel bites were barely average. But tye Burger was so flavorful
Very good selection of beers. Sport bar ambience, spacious, clean and modern. The dining room is surrounded by huge windows in full view of state st.
Prices are reasonable for the food quality.
For a late dinner and drinks, you cant go wrong with this place.

I went in for drinks and an appetizer. Our waitress was awesome! Nice and friendly, as well as the rest of the employees. The bathrooms were clean, but a little tight on exiting them when there's a person washing there hands right next to the door.
I had a spicy margarita. It was not spicy to me, but I eat very spicy food on a regular basis. So, to the average person's spice level, it's probably spicy. Aside from the spice, the taste of the margarita itself was great.
For an appetizer, I had the Buffalo bites. They were so delicious: crunchy, creamy, and juicy all at the same time!

I liked the beer there, servers are very friendly. The appetiser served after the meal. The fish taco was well presented and it’s vegetables were very fresh but the fish was not that good. I asked for medium rare burger but was well done. The burger meat quality should be improved!

Yummy! Sweetwater Tavern and Grille is a grille house for a foody! All four items we enjoyed were top notch.
Located on busy Michigan Avenue, there is indoor booth seating and outdoor patio dining. Very comfortable.
We enjoyed the Fish Tacos: beer battered mahi-mahi, chiptole coleslaw, and a cilantro lime cream drizzled on top.
The Filet Mignon Sliders: two grilled Filet medallions, caramelized onions, horseradish cream on a pretzel roll.
And the Scorpion Burger: 7 Oz. Beef patty, habanero pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, five pepper jam, scorpion pepper aioli on a brioche bun. This burger is spicy (not too spicy, but enough). The pepper jam gives the burger the right amount of sweetness. Each bite is a delight!
The hostess was on top of it! However, our server was subpar. Did not refill my iced tea. Did not offer suggestions or check on us once our meal came. The restaurant was busy. But I observed her rolling napkins or some other project... Thus not five stars.

What an awesome experience! Food and drinks were really good. The house salad was awesome, the steak we had was perfect. Everything was cooked well and tasted good. One thing we also noticed right from the get go, everyone from the hostess to the waiter were super nice and accommodating. Thank you again
