Decent place for a quick lunch. Service is quick but spotty, depending on how busy they are. The tuna tartar is superb. Fish and chips was also quite good. Came with a generous helping of Cole slaw. The server was kind enough to substitute a side salad for the fries. I enjoyed my lunch as did my dining companion who ordered tacos.

Nice place for a happy hour after work. The food is pretty good overall (pretzel is great though!) and they have a great craft beer selection. I've had hit or miss service here and it does get very busy.

Thoroughly enjoyed my whole experience here! The food was fantastic and had great decor and atmosphere. Was significantly less busy than I would have expected for how highly nice and delicious this place was. Our waiter was funny and personable. The drinks were well made. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

I went there for my boyfriend's happy hour. The service was excellent. The drinks were good and quite a selection of drinks. I had a wonderful mojito!! The food was delicious. They provided appetizers and i was eating them for a couple days after!!!

Atmosphere was perfect: music was set appropriately high enough so as to not be too loud, but not low enough that I couldn't hear someone 2 feet away from me. Food was delicious...I highly recommend the slider. The drinks were as expected for downtown. This is a great location for an after work drink/meal.

I love to come here for a really nice lunch. It's a beef place - so eat the beef! It's delicious. Great steak salad. Great french dip. I really do wish they had rolls, though. My one lament... No bread service....

Nice venue for after work drinks or meeting clients. Though the space had the decor of a high end restaurant, the giant screen TV's playing sports help make the scene more approachable. Wine selection was ok, beer lost was fantastic and the apps we had we're tasty. Only issue was or surely server who seemed like she been scheduled when she didn't want to be or they were short staffed and she had an attitude about it. You know it's not going to be great service when as she walks by your table and you try to flag her down when your drink order, she didn't make eye contact, gives you the"one minute" finger and keeps it moving. Wouldn't prevent me from coming back as the rest of the staff was lovely, friendly and fast.

Great bar for lunch or drinks after work. The food is tasty (but fancy for a bar), and the drinks are reasonable. They do a great job during lunch - keep everything moving quickly so you're not there too long. It has a nice vibe as well - upscale yet not pretentious, and cozy but not quiet or boring. I'd recommend this for a working lunch or post-work drinks.

Came for a corporate type dinner. The food was fresh and well prepared. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed by the size of our party, but that seemed more like poor choice by management to not properly staff the event. You had two people trying to take care of 40 people at around 9 to 10 tables.

I've been here a few times for lunch. Overall, the food is solid. The seared tuna I had was good. The nashville hot chicken sandwich I had was good too despite not being actual "nashville" hot chicken. Instead of being dipped in hot oil, it is covered in sauce which is not right at all. It's a fancy place if you want a nicer lunch, but I definitely wouldn't come here regularly.

Pretty nice bar. I visit this place more often with a group for happy hour and they are more than accommodating. Given the size of this place, I'm sure they expect a lot of people. Anytime I visit with a group, we are immediately greated and seated.
Great selection of food and beer. I usually go with the traditional burger and fries.

Upscale eatery with American fare. The ambiance and crowd was very cool, but the food left me wanting. For being in the city and the $$$, I was disappointed in the flavor of my food. Great for meeting up co-workers for drinks and enjoying some small dishes though.
Michelle Krueger
Great restaurant and decent prices for the area. I’ve only really gone during the day during the week so this review is for that. The food was consistently good and the service was good—sometimes a little slow when busier but what can you expect. I especially liked the Caesar salad with a side of soup—ask what the special is that day as it was often super good!

Prime Bar is an ideal location for happy hour in the loop.. Located on wacker drive, it is close enough to most locations in the loop. We came here both for drinks and for lunch. The food I found was simple, yet very tasty, and the drinks were made strong, but not too strong. Overall I recommend.
Stuart Conover
Recently had a chance to head over to Primebar with some co-workers for lunch and taste wise I couldn't be happier! I ordered the Seared Tuna with a side of Brussels Sprouts and everything was delicious. The waiter seemed a little distracted and wasn't as attentive as I would have liked (which was surprising as they didn't seem too busy.) If it wasn't on the massive delays on refills from this it'd have a perfect 5 and I hate not doing that as I don't think it was a restaurant issue but just a waiter issue.
That being said the food was great and I'll absolutely be back!

Dined on a Saturday night, and the place was relatively quiet at 7, but then started to pick up. Our server was friendly and attentive. The menu didn't have much of a theme - I expected mostly burgers and steaks because of the name, but there were only a couple burgers and one cut of steak. The rest of the menu was a mix of tacos, sandwiches, and some pasta dishes - not really anything that coordinated. I ordered the French dip, which was awesome. It came with a horseradish aioli which wasn't too strong. I only wish it came with a little more au ju.
Dennis Biggs
The veggie tacos were okay but the shells looked like they were sitting in pure oil for a few minutes before being served. They were so oily; not crispy like they were advertise.
Danny Rodriguez
Our waitress was great. We were 1 of only 3 tables there so the place was dead on a Friday night. Food was amazing and drinks were great.
Mark Joseph
Outstanding! The steak was fork tender and perfectly cooked. The Salmon was equally delicious. Very generous portions as well. A+++
Rita D. Lee
This place is always excellent. Great food and great people. Love the blackened tilapia. Great martinis.
Connie Dispoto Herrera

Have been to Primebar twice before Lyric Opera--great food, nice menu with good selection.
Kristina Caputo
Had dinner before a show. Split the primebar burger with my friend. It was delicious! I ordered a side of the parmensan crunchy Brussels sprouts, they were perfectly cooked- soft in the middle with a crispy exterior. My friends husband ordered the fish and chips, it looked so good I had to have a bite. It was so good, that I plan to go back and get that next time!
Tristan Hunt
