Rockit Bar & Grill

DISCLAIMER: This review is in regard to a visit last summer, it was originally posted on yelp and I’ve only now realized I should share it with google as well. I'll start by saying that the host was super nice, what a great way to start your experience at a restaurant. Our waiter was a bit short and seemed like he wanted to just do his job and nothing more. Their beer/drink menu was limited due to a restock or revamp of some sort but my boyfriend and I were still both able to find something we enjoyed. I ordered the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. Both were amazing! My boyfriend ordered the wings appetizer but as an entree and he was raving about them. They have outdoor seating which is where we sat, it was very relaxing. The inside is beautiful! The atmosphere seemed casual as many people were dressed down (including ourselves).

Their acoustic brunch was a happy surprise! We made a reservation for a Sunday morning so we could brunch & Football and it did not disappoint. Had a great little bloody mary bar and the food was delicious. They were great about letting us keep our table for most of the afternoon to watch some football!

Went here on two separate occasions, once for dinner, the other upstairs at the bar for drinks and dancing. I enjoyed both! Our food was good, as were the drinks (wish I was able to have more at dinner, our waitress didn't come by much). Dancing was fun, the DJ played a good mix of current music and throwbacks to the 90's-00's.

Great menu selection on all fronts - food, beer, and drinks. Our group had Crunchy @** Chicken with pickle hot sauce, Lamb Burger with truffle fries, and the Chicken Sandwich. All were excellent. Great service, and we made a reservation ahead of time. -1* for bug in my first drink, which they did make me another.

Great atmosphere. The staff was amazing. We had a group of 12 for my cousins bachelorette party and they made a reservation for us on a Saturday night. Dinner was delicious, so were The drinks. I'd recommend The Dirty Deeds. The host escorted us to a large booth upstairs in the club after dinner. Great location to start the evening on Hubbard street.

Overall: A great fall back option for burgers and general pub fare. Nothing mind blowing, but it definitely is a step above the usual. The good: The burgers here, while not mind blowing, are solid, as is the other food. I've had salads, burgers, and several of the apps over time, and they are all pretty good. Food came out hot and quickly and the service is friendly. The atmosphere is neat and obviously music focused. The music playing is also good. The not-so-good: I waiter never brought our non-water drinks until we asked when our food came. The prices are a little high, I can get a better burger for the same prices at many other places in Chicago. Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 8/10

My fiance and I ate here for brunch the day before the Chicago Marathon and loved everything about it- the food, service and atmosphere! In fact, we loved it so much we came back for dinner that night. I have celiac's and it was great to have servers, both times who directed me to delicious food and beverage choices! In addition, it was great to see the night manager out on the floor helping out the servers who were busy making sure all guests had a great experience! We can wait to come back, thank you!

Rockit Bar is a hidden gem. The restaurant has a really casual, comfy vibe to it, they hold events in the upstairs bar area which are really fun and the food here is deceptively good. I would consider Rockit to be mostly a burger spot, but all of their food offerings are good. The bar offers a fairly standard selection. As far as pricing, I think it's a bit pricier than what you might expect for a "regular" burger spot but it's pretty standard for the River North area. Check it out for yourself.
