★★★★☆ 4/5
We stumbled upon Third Rail after a Phish concert at the nearby United Center - a roughly 15-minute walk. It was the perfect atmosphere and just what we were looking for; warm and low light, decent enough music, happy staff. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The only reason for the 4- star rating was price. I realize it's Chicago, but we were surprised to pay $32 for 2 shots of bourbon (that includes tip). I'd go back but probably stick to beer or rail cocktail.

A pre-show go-to for dinner and drinks before the United Center. The UC is a straight shot down the road to the West. Nice neighborhood. Good food, service and vibe.

I'm a fan of a good hole in the wall type of bar like Third Rail. Awesome casual, laid back spot in Fulton Market.

Thank you Andy, Ben, Noah, Teresa and Ryan for the amazing service and drinks at Third Rail! I’ve found my hangout spot with friendly staff, good food and all at a reasonable price for the location. Easy to get to and normally not too busy. Will continue to come back so see you soon!

We felt so welcomed from everyone at the bar. Our bartenders (guillermo and I didn’t get the other guys name. Older rad gentleman) were so happy to serve everyone. Always felt genuine. Even the guy who served us our food was so warm and kind. The regulars talked to the husband and I about our whiskey selection. I hadn’t read reviews for this place but I ordered the portobello wrap with sweet potato fries. Wow!!! So good. I swear. And the husband had the chicken Philly. He enjoyed it. Their whiskey and bourbon selection is beautiful. They even let us taste some of the scotch whiskeys before ordering our pours. We are definitely visiting again. Definitely.

Food was great and for decent prices, too. I actually really enjoyed the bartender working that day. She was so funny and real with us. I wouldn't expect to come here with a group of friends, like I did. There were eight of us and we sat at different tables (which was fine, we didn't care WHERE we sat, just as long as we ate 🤣), so it might be better to come here with four or fewer. Good place - would go back!

Third Rail has Moose Drool on tap. It’s so rare on this side of the country. John was wonderful and knowledgeable of all the draft craft beers. The food was great. My niece and I had a very pleasant experience. Good music always help too!

The place has a wonderful warm and friendly vibe. The employees were great and chill, and were very accommodating for food adjustment requests. I had an impossible burger with fire fries and a cherry coke and it was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and prepared to perfection. I highly recommend it and would go back any time.

Feels like a typical bar. The food was much better than I expected at a typical bar. Had the spicy chicken wrap, which was really awesome. The sweet potato tater tots were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely surprised by how good the food was.

First timer. Burger. Staff, wings were sooo good. My new favorite place when I come to Chicago.......Finally. Got to come back to Third Rail Tavern today. They did not disappoint. Got the T-Chase Burger and tavern fries. Cooked to perfection. Medium rare. Had to order it to go as I was driving back to Indiana. All I can say is. OMG. Love this place.
