The drinks are yummy, Christmas decor was on point (perfect photo op), and music was a vibe. The manager and staff are sweet and accommodating. Definitely a spot you want to check out with friends.

bomb dot com happy hour, my favorite thing after a long day at work and to celebrate the START OF SPRING & SUMMERS ☀️ literally so happy that the sun sets at 7pm now 😭

Food is decent bar standard fare. Good selection between healthy and classic comfort food. Service was good overall, server seemed a bit overwhelmed but still managed well enough. Cool layout, lots of screens, nice center bar.
So we decided to stop at this place for a bite to eat and a drink since it is a rainy Sunday. It has a nice set up and even a upstairs with what look like a outdoor area. We had the boneless wings with the habanero BBQ sauce on them and they were amazing. We also had the quesadilla that was a little
Awesome food, drinks & fantastic service! Fun place to go for a game or any day it seems! The chicken & waffles were delicious and the nachos were so filling & yummy! Love it!!!
Stumbled upon this restaurant when we could not get a table somewhere else. Turned out to be a great choice. We easily got a table upstairs so we could see multiple tv screens and people watch. I had the Barbacoa Bowl with a Raspberry Margarita which hit the spot. Will drop in again when in the area
I really love Benchmark, it is my top bar choice if I am in Old Town. Very modern layout with 2 bars, one on the top level on one on the floor level. If you are looking for a bar in Old Town I recommend giving it a peek.
Benchmark 4C- Amazing service and ambiance! I was really impressed with how great and delicious the food was!
🧀 Mozzarella sticks were great and full of flavor!
🦬 Buffalo wraps were mouth-watering and crispy! I highly recommend trying them if you like a bit of spice!
🍕 Margherita Pizza- Perfect
We went to benchmark every Thursday after volleyball. Had a lot of servers but Mauve was our favorite. She was our server for the end of the year party and it was packed and she still gave us phenomenal service.
Pretty nice spot to go out with friends for a beer.
The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Would suggest for a weekend night with friends, they have a DJ and the atmosphere is very good.
Mostly a younger crowd.
I moved to Chicago about two years ago now and have always gotten recommendations to go into Old Town and I have checked out a few bars in the area with my friends but my favorite is Benchmark! It has an upstairs with a ceiling that opens up on a nice summer day and with friendly bartenders and serv
Original review: The bartenders will change the prices of drinks based on who they’re serving. One vodka soda was $15- insane. When I brought it up to another bartender, she said I was overcharged but made a big deal out of refunding me $2.
Edit: received a super professional response and explanati
Overall good experience with this place. Food was delicious definitely will be back for that alone! The only problem I had was with the hostess. We had missed our reservation due to car troubles and they will not seat you unless your whole group is present. When we all finally got there she said the
Went in for brunch and had the chicken and waffles. Really light, crispy and the habanero syrup wasn’t overwhelming. I really did like that the syrup wasn’t extremely thick and sweet. That’s the problem with some of the other chicken and waffles I’ve had. Balance your flavors / textures!!
