Handlebar Chicago Reviews from The Last Year

amazing vegetarian food, highly recommend! One of my favorite gems in the city. Definitely recommend the food.

Living in the suburbs, it's a bit of a drive to go to the city when you're super hungry. But we have been coming here whenever we can for 3 years. Handlebar is one of my favorite places and absolutely worth the drive. We sat at the bar, and our bartender Louis/Luis (I'm so sorry I didn't get the right spelling of your name!) was amazing as well. He was super cordial and made us feel better even while we were still feeling repercussions from the night out prior haha. We got two Nashville hot fried chicken Sandwiches with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Their food is so amazing that I even got a Tuna Steak sandwich to go for later! The entire space in itself is so mesmerizing. There are tons of things that catch your attention on the walls. I wish I took photos- but next time I will. Thanks again Louis/Luis and Handlebar staff :)
Do you ever go to a restaurant for the first time and
Do you ever go to a restaurant for the first time and think, "damn, I'm so in love with this meal that I'm never going to be able to eat anything else if I come back here"? That's how I felt about the Green Meanie Sandwich (avocado, goat cheese, spinach, tomato, agave-mustard spread, MMMM!) at Handlebar. Though there are a number of other delicious-sounding options on their menu, I simply cannot choose them over this sandwich that lives on in my dreams. The smoked gouda mac was also delicious, though I think I would like to try the vegan dream mac next time. We sat inside, because it was November (yes I'm still thinking about it in March), but would love to sit outside in the beer garden next time if the weather permits. Can't wait to get back to this joint on my next visit to Chicago!
Good god I love handlebar.
Anyone who lives in the area knows that handlebar is amazing. From the food to the drinks and music, this is a great place to catch up with friends. Definitely gets packed on the weekends so come early to get a seat. My favorite two dishes are the seared tuna steak sandwich and the chili mac attack. Really wish they had a second location on the north side of Chicago because it would be heavily frequented.
One of the must try vegan spots in Chicago.
Dive bar and trendy.. I have been coming here for many years, the menu is quite different from other vegan spots. And mostly importantly always had such a great experience with the staff here, so friendly and really part of the vibe and atmosphere.
My friend showed me this place last night to try the nachos
My friend showed me this place last night to try the nachos and I was not let down. They had a ton of flavor and were pretty filling for 2 sharing a plate. The staff were nice and the overall ambience was laid back. We sat in the front but there's a ton of seating and cool wall decor. We tried the horchata ice cream which was a little grainy but worth trying for $3. The pricing is also very reasonable and our whole meal came out to $24
Handlebar is one of my favorite spots.
Awesome drinks and vegan options. In the warmer months the patio is a vibe. My only complaint is sometimes the m service is pretty bad. I know the service industry can be taxing (I am also in it) but sometimes the vibes here are uncomfy depending on who is helping you out. Have had a fair share of off putting experience with various staff members throughout the years which is a bummer because we always tip well and try to be easy to wait on. That being said our server was really good last visit, didn't get their name but that was a nice experience.
Just a bad experience, should have followed our 1st mind
Just a bad experience, should have followed our 1st mind and left when we couldn't get anyone to stop at our table to assist with menu's. Decent bar atmosphere, we were taken to our seats and the hostess didn't provide any info, no biggie because we assumed our waitress would do that after we realized that we only had drink menus. It felt like we were invisible because we couldn't get any of the 3 folks moving around our table to stop and acknowledge after saying "excuse me" and trying to signal with our hands. Finally we yelled over to someone at the bar for assistance. When she came over we asked about the menus and she showed us the QR code on the condiment tray, now it's very low lighting and the tray is not easy to read so we didn't see it. It would have been helpful for the hostess to advise when seating us. Now to food, great options but that food was absolutely the most bland food I've ever tasted. We ordered the fries pickles that had too much corn breading that wasn't fully cooked on a few slices but overall I'd give them a 3. We both ordered the "Fried Chix Patty Melt". Now I love a good melt, this had no fried or chix flavor, it was not even a pinch of salt or seasoning on the mushroom patty and there was no cheese for the melt. Even the grilled onions had absolutely not a bit of flavor. My hubby on took a bite, I was asking for different sauces to help mine but couldn't even finish a 1/2 slice. For the sides, hubby had fries and I ordered the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. Fries were tasty and crispy. You can tell the mac was from a box with powdered white cheese. There was no Gouda, it was cheesy but lacked in flavor. Luckily the drinks we had, margarita and lemonade was tasty, but a Huge No on the food except the fries. Service was horrible, food tasteless and drinks decent. Hopefully if you decide to go you have a better experience. It was Soo bad I didn't get any pics and was ready to go.
Service was great.
Our party of 5 was sat immediately and we were greeted shortly after. The food was just okay though..

We went to Handlebar to celebrate a friend's birthday with a somewhat larger group (6 top) and had a decent time. The menu is really vegetarian and vegan friendly, which is amazing! For that alone they deserve three stars. The birthday girl was vegan, so it was a great option for our group! The service left a lot to be desired. It was somewhat busy, but not packed by any means. Instead of combining tables (there were plenty open to do so), we were separated at high tops that had a bar going in between them. It worked but it certainly wasn't ideal. We just generally felt like we were a nuisance to our server. I ordered the perogies and tried bits of other dishes. They were okay, but I can't say I would ever find myself craving them. If you're a vegan or vegetarian, this place is worth checking out. Otherwise, I wouldn't find myself suggesting it.
Love this place!!! Service and Quality!!!! hearty meals
Love this place!!! Service and Quality!!!! hearty meals that are cooked with love and awesome flavors!!
Sometimes, you don't want meat.
And when you don't, Handlebar is a great option: vegan and vegetarian fare at a reasonable price in a laid-back and eclectic location? Yes, please! On a recent Sunday morning, I just decided I want it brunch. The place was packed and I waited about 30 minutes. A long wait time means that the food must be good right? Well, it was. My first time trying a beermosa: Definitely a must! And then the roasted mushroom omelet was simply delicious: Good size and flavorful. The potatoes could've used some seasoning (even a little salt and pepper), but I added hot sauce to the ketchup to satisfy my taste buds. I will definitely keep this place in rotation.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Last Reply by 👻 @EnjoyableJelly34 (11/14/2022 12:34 pm)5 Thumbs Up2 Replys, 0 commentsWhose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Best answer by 👻 @HandsomeCollar14 (06/29/2022 11:31 am)4 Thumbs Up6 Answers, 3 commentsWorking on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 1:07 am)3 Thumbs Up1 Answer, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 9:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
