    Went here last night to see 'Bye Bye Liver'. Cute show! For some reason I thought there would be more drinking games involved, but never the less, there was enough booze flowing. The sketch comedy was wicked funny. After the show we went downstairs for our free shot (we got one for going to the show), hung around for a bit and then floated to our next bar of the night. Good times!

    Interesting reviews for this one. Lesbian bar? No silly, those are just hipsters. Did you not catch the address? Non profit fundraiser now owing money to Fizz? Ouch! Read the find print. I really dig the food here. They have tater tots. C'mon, that alone is worth a few stars. Burgers are tasty, though by adding just a few condiments you'll have to unhinge your jaw to eat it - you've been warned. The beer selection and price is decent. Service was attentive and thoughtful, neither pushy nor missing in action. Also, for someone who never wins anything in life, being trivia champs certainly gets an extra star...in hopes for a repeat soon...

    Nice little bar with a great room upstairs. I'm not sure what all they do up there but it's nice area. Last time I went it was for a belly dance show but it looks like it would do well for a poetry slam or some type of speaking event. Overall the food service could have been better, especially when you consider the fact that are order was given to someone else. But I won't hold to much blame since the guy had to handle drink service and food orders for about hundred people all by himself.

    Pretty good quality bar food. Went on a Monday night when they had 1/2 off appetizers. We had the hot wings which were happily moist, meaty and not too hot. I went on to have the buffalo chicken sandwich which didn't disappoint. Dripping with sauce and lightly fried, I was happy. The tater tots were good too... Crisp on the outside but moist on the inside.

    A bit crowded, but they put on a quality New Year's Eve. I enjoyed the endless appetizers and Hurricanes at the door.

    Fizz is a great bar because they not only have a crazy selection of good beer, but they also play decent music. I always find myself singing aloud through dinner each time I'm there. I ordered the veggie burger and my husband ordered the turkey burger, which were both delicious. I love Fizz, especially in the summertime because they have an awesome beer garden. I'll definitely be back. The cost of two beers, and two burgers were under $34.00 without tip.

    The location and the bar itself were both fine, nice beer garden, lots of tvs inside and outside. Service was slow. Food took awhile to be cooked and the bartenders didn't do s great job of serving customers. Having to wait 15 minutes for a beer refill when I'm sitting at the bar is not ideal. They had plenty of waitresses but only two bartenders for a Blackhawks Stanley cup game. My advice would be to know your staffing needs and fulfill them.

    Ok if you like that sort of place. Maybe I just don't like that neighborhood. Everyone there is transplanted from Michigan or the Northwest suburbs or something.

    This place makes the best potato salad Ive ever had, but the service is absolutely dreadful. Every time I've popped in here with friends, we are always VERY pleased with the drinks and bartender and food && yet found the service severely lacking in friendliness or even common courtesy. I mean, I know it's a bar && most people are coming here to drink, but I could never be drunk enough to overlook some of the shenanigans the waitstaff has tried to pull. Come On!

    Great place! They have awesome comedy/stand-up shows that regularly play here, and some very worthwhile (although oftentimes unknown) bands that come through too. Extremely nice bartenders, large beer selection, and affordable and tasty food. The only thing that sucks is they close the beer garden (which is HUGE!) at 11 on weekdays, though you can't really blame them because it's a city ordinance. Always a fun time!

    3.5+ The beer garden was chill and staff were friendly. We went to the Brazil Independence event here sponsored by Hot House. The event was not so spectacular but will definitely go back for drinks and food here in the beer garden!!

    Just went last week and they've taken the nachos off their menu. Sob. Though the new menu is still very good overall. Buffalo shrimp po-boy was yummy!

  • Audra S.

    Fizz has a decent menu, but awful martinis. The food is actually quite good, but the bartenders can use some work. The downstairs is a good sit & drink place, complete with a Megatouch machine -- one of my favorite ways to pass time at the bar. Upstairs is a loft space that can be rented out for parties -- it's really big and has a nice bar. Fizz is an ideal place to host a get together or other soiree.

    the beer garden is pretty awesome. i tried eating out there once and the service was so bad we made our way into the bar area. much better service there. the veggie grilled cheese is the man. good beer, nice atmosphere, good music. i would love to make it out on a night they have live music.

    This place never seems to be too crowded, and they have a large outdoor seating area in the summer. Food is good, and not overpriced.

    Stopped in here a few Saturday's ago for a quick bite and a few pints. My friend warned me the service was less than fantastic, but that they had good food and a decent beer selection. Sure enough, the service was less then steller but, certainly no where near the worst I've had, and as such they still get four stars. It's quaint, for a pub the food was delish, the beer selection didn't disappoint, and the beer garden is adorable. I'd go back, as long as I'm not in a hurry to get served.

    A good bar for 21-24 year olds.

    Their beer garden is nice. There are a lot of different areas to relax and throw back a few beers. The beer garden is only open until Midnight, which means the indoor area can get kind of crowded later at night. They have a lot of beer options, and they do beer flights. They also have a nice drink menu. Service is okay, it can be slow at times, but the place can get crowded which really bogs down the servers. I only got an appetizer, but it was decent. Nothing amazing. Overall, this is a great place to spend a drunken afternoon at.

    Fizz has been the host of many events for me, whether it's a Brewski Thursday spot in the beer garden, a destination to try some local craft brews on tap, a night of pub trivia, and most recently, pre-show dinner & drinks for date night at Bye Bye Liver. Fizz pushes the "buy local" theme for their brews made here in Chicagoland as well as nearby in the Midwest, and fortunately they have a fantastic selection of said beers. You'll find the best from Three Floyd's, Half Acre (although the last time I went, the Daisy Cutter tasted infected), Metropolitan, and many many others. The chopped salad is awesome if you're looking for something light. If you want something delicious and greasy, try the grilled cheese w/ bacon. Their appetizers are also really good and are half-priced on some evenings. Service is usually pretty quick aside from one instance and the servers are great with beer recommendations.

    Fizz is a rare gem in a sea of college sports bars. On any given weeknight I've seen study groups, families, pretty ladies, business meetings, and anything else you can imagine that doesn't involve face paint and rah-rahing. The food is good, the service can be amazing, and then sometimes is just okay, but I've never had a bad experience, so I'll keep coming back.

  • Julia D.

    Heeeey best beer garden ever! Ginormous, comfy chairs and couches, open year-round. LOOOVE it. If not for the amazing beer gardeness, I think I'd give Fizz a 3-star review. The food is decent, drink prices are fair, but the service is meh. No one ever seems too happy to see you, it takes about 5-10 minutes for anything to happen and I feel like I'm constantly trying to flag someone down only to find someone else to tell my server that we need something. Barf. It's never been that busy when I've been there. Look alive, people! A couple more bathrooms inside wouldn't hurt either. I'm just sayin'... It's not a regular spot on my list, but it's where we go when we feel like we need a little patio aciton. Perhaps with better service, I might go more.

    I have only been here once but cannot wait to go back. Went here on a gorgeous chicago day while every bar around was insanely packed for the FIFA world cup. There was a good number of people but its so big you felt comfortable sitting anywhere. Sat outside the patio is amazing. Staff was very friendly and the food was great. Split a pizza with my date, great drink selection, and am a sucker for buffalo wings. Highly recommend!

    I go mainly for the swing dancing on Monday nights, but I go early for the special: burger /fries and a domestic draft (like Three Floyd's Alpha King) for only $5! A great way to fuel up for a night of dancing.

    grabbed brunch here yesterday. ordered the vanilla bean french toast and a monte cristo sandwich. both were good and filling and came with a side of potatoes which was a pleasant surprise (menu did not mention this) their bloody mary's hit the spot - a little spicy but no complaints here. we were the only people dining here and it was around noon. not sure if this was due to the whether and it being so rainy outside. bartender was very friendly and we had a nice meal. looking forward to going back and trying their breakfast pizza.

    Have been here multiple times. Overall it is a good place. Nice beer selection(Breckenridge vanilla porter a plus)! I would go back for beer any time. The food is just alright. It is a good place for good beer and a nice patio.

  • Mark D.

    Every time I come here I'm determined I'm going to like it... but so far no luck. While they sport a broad beer selection, I do not find it an especially good selection. The food is pretty poor (the calamari specifically come to mind as disgusting/tough) and the service has always been slow. After trying to like it on 4 or 5 separate occasions, here's to hoping I don't keep going back expecting different results. However, I've got to give them some props for the beer garden which is both cool/fun and large.

    Wednesdays are a pretty money night to go here, especially in the summer time. Grab a seat in the outside patio area and enjoy buy one get one pizzas and a beer tasting as well. For most people, buy one get one means sharing, but being the fat kid that I am, I just took that as eating 2 pizzas. The tasting that night was for random Belgian brews and the rep actually bought our table of 10 or so the first round of each, not to mention all of the free samples that were flowing. The only downer was that they were out of Green Line, but this was before Goose Island seemed to restock everyone in the city. Also, I really am not sure why it is listed as a dance club in the yelp profile...

    Having worked in the food/bar industry for a long period of time (all through high-school and college), there is nothing that bothers me so horrifically than that of a customer who, even when acknowledging that they too have worked in the food/bar industry, insist on not only being exceptionally demanding, but overly rude. It is a difficult job, and sometimes the service isn't as fast, or as accurate as you want, and that is obvious. Mistakes happen. Servers and bartenders get swamped... It is as simple as that. All the blame of a restaurant is placed on the staff - on the server or bartender specifically, and usually with invalid or ridiculous reasons. What's that Mary? You couldn't get the drink you wanted because it was out of stock? Restaurants and bars run out of stock. It's a fact of life. Some weeks, sales of a particular beverage or entree exceeds normal stock. Sometimes it takes awhile to check the stock, and sometimes there are numerous things going on for a server to cater to you, specifically. You are not the center of the universe. You should show courtesy and respect to your server, not rudeness, even when they make mistakes and don't live up to your standards. They are, in a simple word, serving you. As such, do not confuse them as your servant. They are not your slave, and they are not subservient to you. It is an exchange of service for compensation. If you feel they did not serve you well enough to deserve your compensation, then you have a right not to tip. It doesn't give you a right to libel every server in the establishment, nor the bartender, nor anyone else by making blanket statements like fizz has "horrid service." You're entitled to an opinion, it's your right as a human being, but not when it does harm to others. You do an injustice to all the employees. You hurt them. Because of your thoughtless review, a potential patron will not go to that bar and that server will not get that tip, regardless if they provide great service or not. You must be specific, and you must figure out the problem. I've only ever had exceptional service at Fizz. They've been kind and waited on me with much attention. Brought me beers and food quickly. Yet, sometimes when it's incredibly busy and they're swamped, I don't get as quick service as when it's slower. That is obvious. You cannot accurately predict how many people will come into a bar or restaurant at any given time. You can try to guess, but you can't expect them to bring in twenty servers to handle a crowd that might never come. No one would make money at all. And problems like this ALWAYS HAPPEN. It goes with the industry. If you have a problem, and you bring it up, and it is not resolved, then it is a fault of the establishment. They can only correct their mistakes, and neither are they omnipotent. There is a way to do things, politely and nobly, and then there is the way to do it which is wrong and vindictively. Bring up your qualms with the server or the bartender. Tell them is there is a mistake or if there is a problem with the service. But you must also be considerate of the situation. Great Service: Drinks come quickly along with the food. Great Food: Not your sleazy bar food. Real entrees, great apps, large portions for cheap prices. Great Drinks: Poured just right, and if not, remade for free - isn't this common etiquette? I'd suggest going to the bartender or the waitress before you go to management with a shi**y attitude. Great Environment: Caters to a wide and diverse clientele. Sports, Out-door smoking Patio, Special Events, Parties, Dj's, Live Music, Theatre, Comedy.... Great Staff and Management: Every problem I ever had has been resolved when I approached them with respect and without trying to swindle them. Cheap Prices and great specials!: You can't beat $2 well drinks, 25 cent wings, $5 beer and a shot, Half-price pizza, and $5 beer and a burger on specific nights. Judge it for yourself, and don't let bratty diva's influence your decision.

    I really like this place. It's just up the street from my apartment, they have a good beer selection and cocktail list, and the food is really great. I order the veggie burger every time I go -- it is the best in the city!! And they have tater tots!! The staff is really nice and they have great indoor seating as well as a HUGE outdoor patio which is really fun on summer nights. I highly recommend going here, for the food on the weeknights and the drinks on the weekend!

    I've been to Fizz twice now, and I'm definitely a fan. It's a bit of a trek from where I live, so I never go there out of the sake of "convenience" but I've enjoyed my experiences there so far. I had a groupon to use up (two beer flights and an appetizer) so my boyfriend and I came here for a Sunday Funday. We were the only patrons in the bar around 12:30 on a Sunday after they had been open for about an hour and a half. We decided to sit outside in their beautiful beer garden and look over the menu. They have a decent rotating draft beer offering of a bunch of craft beers, which was a definite plus. For the beer flight deal we were able to pick any four 4oz beers on the draft menu. I was happy to see this as many package deals include the same types of beer flight samplers, ranging from Blue Moon to Allagash White, so it was nice to mix it up a bit. The waitress had us write down which four beers we wanted, and they served the flight up as we had written them down, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed our flights and also noticed that they have a great bottle selection as well. For our appetizer, we put in an order for the Steak Quesadilla and ordered an additional side of sweet potato fries. The quesadilla was HUGE and about twice the size of most offerings from other bars. We definitely didn't need the additional side of fries, but I was definitely stuffed after my "half" of the quesadilla. The quesadilla itself was just okay, nothing to write home about--it had the tortilla, meat, and cheese aspects covered. The salsa and guacamole that accompanied it wasn't "made to order" or "super fresh" but it was what I expected. As for the sweet potato fries, they were crispy and delicious. They were reminiscent of the fries from Smoke Daddy, so I happily munched my way through them. All in all it was a pleasant experience on a Sunday afternoon. My only complaint is that the service was a bit slow. We were the only people there for about 30 minutes and it took awhile for the beers to come out with two bartenders and a waitress. We were in no rush so it didn't really bother me, but I just thought that was important to note. The staff was super friendly though. I'll definitely try to stop at Fizz again before the weather turns cold, it's hard to turn down a bar with decent food, a great beer offering, and a fantastic beer garden.

    One of the only bars that I know in Lakeview with a ping pong table. Tons of beers, great staff, love the out door area. Try something different every time I go in terms of food AND beer. Never have gone wrong. Love this place.

    I had a great time at Thursday night trivia. The $3 Magic Hat #9 special was great. I didn't order food but some of my teammates did and enjoyed it. Others have complained about the bathroom but when I was there, it was spotless. Service was a little slow but overall I had a really good time.

    Everybody get your Fizz on. So I came to this spot with a large group and it was actually pretty decent. If you can, meaning if it's not snowing, try and get a table in their patio area. Although it's kinda small, its a nice little atmosphere for a group to kick it old school. I wasn't crazy about the food, but they made up for it with the great beer selection. It was literally a dream list of beers. Overall, Fizz was an average spot and I'll definitely be back to get it going.

  • Patricia N.

    Would have given this place 1-star, but I've enjoyed watching "Bye Bye Liver" here and the manager was nice after experiencing the worst service in my entire life. The last time I was at Fizz our server was completely incompetent. She admitted that she couldn't read her own handwriting when she took down our drink order, didn't provide us any plates or napkins when our nachos arrived (6 of us had to hover over the plate), blamed the kitchen for burnt food and food delays...the list goes on. I mean, I didn't get my entree until 20-30 minutes after my party got theirs. I was so hungry - I was about to bite the manager's head off like a praying mantis when I approached him at the bar to complain about our server, but he calmed me down. He apologized profusely and even comped our meal. He also said the place is in transition due to new ownership, so service has been rocky. Next time we go in, he promised there will be improvements. I believe in second chances, so I'll give Fizz another shot. If you don't see my rating go up at least another star in the next few months, then it's safe to say I've given up on them. Stay tuned...

    Calling all trivia geeks: Fizz hosts Team Trivia night every Thursday at 8:30pm. Being a huge trivia nerd myself, I was, dare I say thrilled, with the prospect of duking it out trivia-style with other like-minded geeks. Fizz is one of those spots that while located on a busy intersection, there's not much else happening close by, so I feel like it's a true destination spot. You'd really only go there because you wanted to... not because you're barhopping on a Saturday night and happen upon it. So Fizz. It's a totally standard issue bar and really doesn't try to be something trendy, flashy or crazy. They have awesome specials every night of the week and a pretty sweet beer garden for the summer months. Or the winter months if you're a smoker. One absolutely cannot complain with the Thursday night special of $12 buckets of Bud Lite or Miller Lite Tallboys. The food, though, is meh. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love that bars are taking pub grub up a notch and giving their clients some truly great food. However, Fizz is doling out the basics...without much flair. For example, the Bottle Caps (fried jalapenos) are just that: Fried jalapenos with ranch. The pizza actually kind of tastes like Jack's brand frozen pizza. No excitement. Nothing memorable. I did enjoy the hummus, which had a great red pepper flavor, but it may have been a fluke. While the food was boring, the trivia was anything but. It's handled in 6 rounds of three questions where you assign point values to each question after you hear the categories. While my team was not victorious (erm, 9th place, to be exact) we still had fun, including a win in the very important "Shots Round" question series where our team scored a round of shots on the house. I can definitely see myself coming back for Trivia Night.

    Fizz is definately a great place to go in the summer. The outside patio is great! Comfy chairs, good food and good drinks. They are also open to dogs, I used to take my Dobe here and they had no issue with it. The service can be a little slow most of the time the wait staff can be seen standing around and chatting, not really paying attention to the clientele. That's why I only gave this place 3 stars. They have weekday specials which are usually pretty good. I believe they used to do $5 for a burger and a blue moon on Mondays - that's a pretty sweet deal.

  • Trixy D.

    Fizz is a really nice neighborhood bar with daily specials. I bought a living social coupon for a pizza and two flights of beer which are 4 little glass samplers. It was fun to try, and they had OUR team on the tv over the bar, which was pretty awesome. My husband said the pizza tasted like Domino's which is not an insult, but nothing special either. A live band was moving in at about 8:45 preparing for Live Band Karaoke at 9 when we left which seems pretty late to get started on a week night. We were two of maybe 6 or 8 people in the place, and service was fine. Waitress and people sitting at the bar were really friendly. When the Karaoke guy brought the song list by our table we laughed, and looked through it but when he walked back by I handed it back and said "The only song I sing is Bohemian Rhapsody, and its not on your list." He told me they COULD DO that!!!! ....so since we were finished anyways, my husband and I quickly paid and snuck out because it would have been EXTREMELY hard to walk out or NOT sing when there is such a small audience of participants!!! yikes! I really liked Fizz and if we lived in the area I could see it being a good hang out, especially if there were more people there. We would have enjoyed staying if they were just going to have live music without Karaoke! ~grin~ We also noticed a SUPER nice and large beer garden on the side of the building that I look forward to enjoying once the weather is nice!

    Alright, so I came back to Fizz - despite what I wrote in my previous review. It IS worthy of an upgrade, I think. $5 Jameson drinks all night on a Friday! Who wouldn't love that? The dj was playin' some great hip-hop, too, so that was a point of redemption for me. There was no waitress at our table, so we just went up to the bar to get the drinks and we really had no problem there.

  • Brian M.

    BBQ Chicken wings were decent. We had Chicken Nachos, which were just chips with Chihuahua chess and bits of chicken on them to start. The Fizz Burger was a no frills burger, which was not very good. The tater tots that came with were terrible. My wife had the Thai Turkey burger with "Peanut Sauce" which we think was just peanut butter. Many places in Lakeview have far superior bar food.

    a friend and I stopped in here as we were on a bar hop around lakeview and north center. We spotted the big patio and figured it'd be a good place to stop in at. We had eaten, so it was just down to the drinks. I got some daisy cutter and it was very reasonable at $5. A quick peruse through the beer list and it was all priced well. We weren't staying long, so I didn't get too many beers. Our waitress was fairly easy to get a hold of. There was a large crowd out on the patio and it looked like she was one of a few out there. I do have to say, there was a very high chad factor when I was there. It was kinda weird as the other bars we stopped in on didn't have that concentration of chads, maybe they were all here. I'm not exactly that kind of guy, but I won't hold it against fizz at all. Too bad my friend and I weren't able to get on the pong table, but it was pretty in demand, c'est la vie

  • Vince N.

    $0.25 wings on Tuesday! You can't beat that. There are a few bars in this westside Lakeview area close to my house but Fizz was always the one that intrigued me the most. Their beer garden is huge and you can always see it when you walk by. I always wondered why there wasn't more people enjoying that amazing space! I decided to try Fizz on their 25 cent wing Tuesday with a friend. AWESOME! You honestly can't write anything bad about 20 wings for $5. Yes. That's right. The look of Fizz is cool and their staff is pretty awesome as well. We had this Irish girl as our waitress and she was super nice! If you are in the Lakeview area, Fizz is definitely worth the try! Especially on Tuesdays!

    Positives: -Spacious bar with plenty of tables inside and outside in the side patio. -Nice beer selection. Negatives: -Service was slow. Bartenders had trouble with credit card machine. -Our group was told that outdoor seating was only for dining customers only. It's a bar, people! We ended up sitting inside with no one chastising us on not ordering food.

  • Allen B.

    Fiiiiiiizz!! I've only been here twice, however, I believe it's worthy of a good review. Maybe it was the alcohol that I consumed that evening I visited or maybe it was due in part of my ex-girlfriend's friends that we were with - GOOD GOD THEY WERE HOT!!! WOW. Anyways, the spirits seem to flow freely at Fizz and the ambiance surrounding it makes it all worthwhile to enjoy a summer evening downing pints of drafts. I will pay a visit to Fizz once more, but when the weather gets a little nicer that is.

  • Erin P.

    Horrible which is a shame because the food is really good, they have an awesome beer selection, and their outdoor patio is great. Those stood out so much that I gave this place 6 tries in hope for just one good experience, but it never happened. Service is what killed this place for me. The servers all sit out front where people are sitting and all you see is food on their table. Personally if you have time to just sit and chat and eat, then you must not be very busy so why would it take over an hour to get my food or 20 plus minutes for a beer? It just blows my mind. Then to top it off, the manager will just be chilling at the bar too. It's just too bad because this place could be awesome, but because of the service I will never go back.

    9/13 6:30pm. Average service. Not really kid friendly. High prices - mac and chz was $10. Hate it when servers sit around in booths.

    I've been going to Fizz for years and I really like it. It has a cool but relaxed atmosphere and I like that the tables aren't cramped inside. It's also nice that they have a huge patio for the warmer months. It's the place I always end up when I can't think of anyplace else to go. The food is decent. I particularly like their pizzas. Wednesdays are great for their special tiki night when the drinks are decently priced, tasty, and stroooong. The only downside is I'm not crazy about their martinis and the service can be hit or miss. It's good for groups, especially in the summer. Thumbs up!!

    Fizz has a really well furnished and comfortable side porch area and they host comedy groups all the time in an upstairs theater. We didn't do either of those things because (1) it was raining out and (2) the show upstairs was well under way by the time we stopped in at 8:15. Instead, we got some of their 10 cent wings and an $11, 4-glass (4-5 ounces each) flight of of their drafts. It was a really quiet Tuesday night at the restaurant, maybe 6 other people in the entire place. A few minor criticisms, all of which I mean to be constructive...they were out of 3 out of my 4 choices for the flight, even though they had just published the menu recently. Also, the bartender was a nice guy, and gave us the lowdown on the upcoming craft beer week, but he kept pacing back and forth, rapidly, behind the bar, and he had a habit of ending every single sentence with "brother." The wings were good and smothered with sauce. I'll definitely be back here sometime to check out an event in the upstairs area.

    The play we saw was named "Bye Bye Liver" it was fun and interactive. The show takes place above The Fizz bar I definitely recommended it if you are looking for something different to do while enjoying a few cocktails. It's only $20 pp and is fun and laid back.

    While the barkeep consistently charged me $1 more for beers than was listed on the menu, I didn't necessarily mind because I was impressed with the selection. I wouldn't call the service "friendly", but I since I don't traverse this hood often, I can only imagine the douchebaggery these folks must deal with. Good place, I'd come back-- the food my friends ordered looked pretty good, too!

    I went here recently because I had a livingsocial deal that was very near expiring. While I was impressed with the beer selection, the food was just OK. My boyfriend claimed the pizza was better than Piece, but I disagree. A medium pizza seemed a bit small in size. We ordered the cheese dip as an appetizer and it was pretty much just cream cheese (which technically IS cheese) but I was expecting something more hot and dip friendly to the chip. The staff is primarily eastern european, so naturally they're not very friendly and were a bit awkward. But, the bouncer was super nice and friendly, and he made the first impression, so props to him! Overall, I'll probably be back just to drink, and maybe check out their other appetizers.

    I enjoyed this place more when it first opened around six years ago, as it seemed to have a unique, quirky vibe, and food that's a step up from average bar food. Lately it's reflected how the neighborhood has changed -- some sort of suburban diaspora going on.

    The food at Fizz is pretty good, drinks are okay. Nothing special, but overall good. The downstairs tends to get crowded late, so if you want to drink and dine, come a little early so you can nab yourself a table. The upstairs is great for parties and they can work out some good deals on drinks for your guests.

    I know! This was the response from our "server" after she had already started off on the wrong foot with us. My kickball team and I (aka Porkchop Sandwiches) were looking for a beer garden to kick back, eat, and celebrate our Yelp tournament win. Fizz was chosen based on my and another Yelper's recommendation and for that Chops I'm sorry. I was the first to arrive and was able to work with someone to pull together a table for 10 in the beer garden, which was where the top notch service began and ended. I sat at said table by myself for 5 minutes without offer of a beer, water or food menu waiting for my party to arrive. When my party arrived we sat for another 5 before menus appeared. After placing our drink orders (another 5-10 minute wait after the menus) we waited for 10 minutes for our drinks only for her to come back to our table empty handed and imform us the were out of the Dark Horse Raspberry I ordered. I placed my new order and we noted that we were ready to order our food too (we were hot and hungry!) since we were afraid she would take off for another extended period. Her response was a smug "I know" and another vanishing act. Five minutes later all of the drinks sans my second choice drink arrived and she was off again without a word leaving us open-mouthed in shock. Another 5 minutes and no sign of her anywhere, we were contemplating leaving, but we decided to get a manager or someone to find her first. It still took another 5-10 minutes for her to show and actually take our food order. When our food arrived, delivered by someone else, a number of the dishes were bungled, not majorly, but wrong all the same, but we were so hungry we didn't want them sent back. The guy running food was 100x more on top of things than our server. We only saw her once during our meal to remind her she forgot someone else's beer and then again about 10 minutes after most of our plates had been cleared to when we flagged her down to request our check. The patio was busy, I get it I've waited tables too, but our server didn't seem to be giving any of her tables any attention. If she had tables inside too and was super slammed it would have been nice for her to give us a heads up or at least apologize. Instead, we were convinced she was vying for the title of "Most indifferent server of the Year." We all agreed the food runner deserved the automatic gratuity more than she did. At least he checked on us, got our missing items and was prompt and friendly! Sorry Fizz, your food is good, your patio rocks, but your horrid service forces me to knock you down to 2.5 stars. I haven't written you off for good, but another experience like this and I will. Recap: At least 30 minutes before we had drinks; 45-ish minutes before we were able to order food!

    First and most important, this place should split checks in the manner guests request. The worst thing a restaurant can do is tell four people it is unable to take four credit cards. I have been in the restaurant business eight years. While working as a server, I used a number of different operating systems. The only one that did not allow me to split checks was an ancient system called Squirrel. Even that system allowed splitting checks up to eight cards. The excuse that the system does not allow it is false. Why ruin an entire experience at the end of the meal? Also, how about you hire a doorman that does not smoke and act like an ass? Very easy thing to do. I live very close to this place. First time in, last time there. I hope sticking to your two credit card policy is worth it.

    Fizz is the best deal and town for a classy, casual, and cheap Wednesday night... well the nights they have their free beer tasting at least !! We got there around 7:45 on a warm October night and were lucky enough to grab the best seat in the house for sure, Fizz has an AWESOME patio, its huge and is filled with lots of tables and a few groupings of outside couches and chairs. The patio is decorated cute and even has a few basil plants, I hope its community basil because I definitely took a few leaves ! Sam Adams seasonal beers were on special for $3, what a deal, so we started with those while waiting for the beer tasting. They ended up bringing around the first round out of 7, which was nice, the other rounds were not really announced and you had to go in and retrieve them yourself, but heck its free beer tasting and appetizers so I guess you can't complain ! Amazing patio, good specials, good menu, good service, I will definitely be back to this little gem on Lincoln Ave real soon !!

    This is one of our neighborhood hangs. We usually sit at the bar, but have been in their great beer garden in the summer as well. The bartenders are great! The pizzas are really good and most everything we've tried here has been at least very good bar food. I don't know a lot about beer, but my husband thinks their selection is right on.

    I work nearby, and when I saw Fizz on Groupon it seemed like a great excuse to try them. The groupon was for two beer flights (4 small draft pours) and an appetizer. My date and I both choose 4 beers from their pretty decent draft list. The draft lines were clean, the beer tasted good. The appetizer, on the other hand, wasn't so good. We got the vegetarian nachos. The chips were burned from the broiler melting the cheese- the veggie chili wasn't spicy in the least, barely any flavor. The nachos didn't come with jalapenos....they came with sour cream, guacamole and salsa on the side. The salsa was out of a jar. The guacamole was mostly tomato and onion, very little avocado and already starting to turn brown. My date ordered the stuffed meatball sandwich, and I ordered the Thai turkey burger. I could tell immediately when it came out I would regret it. The smell wasn't great. I took one bite and that was all. The peanut sauce was overpowering, the cabbage on top old, the turkey patty dry. The 'side salad' was watery iceberg lettuce with store bought croutons on top. My date's 'stuffed' meatballs, weren't really stuffed...most of the cheese was on top. The flavors were good though. He ate about half his sandwich. It came on a roll that was two pieces, making it harder to eat. The steamed broccoli on the side was....underwhelming. A few pieces looked past their prime for sure. Despite the not so hot food, the waitress was friendly, fast, and courteous. The space was nice, they also seem to have a very large outdoor patio. I will go back for drinks on the patio this summer, but stay away from the food.

    This review is only for their mac & cheese entree. After watching "Bye Bye Liver", our group came down to the bar & grill area on the first floor for some food! My friends ordered the enchilada and I believe it was a turkey burger. They both said it was very good. My friend Rob scarfed down his burger like he hadn't ate for days.. hahaa.. At first, I wasn't going to eat. Thennnn, I saw my friends eating and it looked so good. I ordered the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and not salty. You have an option of adding two ingredients into your mac and cheese. I added chorizo and spinach- YUM! I think they have $2 mac and cheese (originally $10) on a week night. I gotta find out when so I can come back to have some more!

    I went for a birthday party. We saw Bye bye liver..... Pros: Hilarious! ((I apologize to the lady infront of me....I laughed so hard I lost control of what i was drinking....in my mouth =( )) Drink prices are fair. The show is pretty inexpensive. Cons: The seating for the show is really tight....NO WIGGLE ROOM. The waitresses don't seem to come around as often during the show...so try to get a bucket before hand. Other than that I had a great time and have been recommending it to everyone.

    Service was an epic fail last Saturday night, unless you were actually sitting at the bar. This place has a number of great beers on tap and lots of other beers to choose from. The food is ok, but it's nasty pub food and I think you can do better at other pubs. I have been there several times for other events, but went there over the weekend with some friends to watch the games. OMG our waitress was bad. For starters I think she was annoyed that we weren't ordering much, but apparently filling our water was a huge effort for her. Also, at one point my friend ordered another beer and instead of coming back with a drink she comes with our check. Weird. I informed her we weren't leaving. We had a few other people join us who ordered food and drinks and it seemed like she started to care a bit more and made the effort. One of us wanted to leave early and asked our waitress if she could give her a separate bill, her response was 'No, just give your friends cash for what you ordered'. Um, that wasn't cool. Then we realized why she said that- if you have a party of 5 or more they automatically add 18% to your bill. So if my friend were to pay separately then she couldn't add on this tip. I was a little annoyed at that, but she's lucky as she probably wouldn't have gotten 18% from us in the first place. Fizz also does their tabs old school- by hand. Check their math. The table next to us realized that this same waitress added in 22% tip for their party of 5 or more which is just poor business practice in my book. We paid, we left, highly doubt we'll come back... unless we can snag a table in the beer garden and get a different server.

    Good patio, but the inside is a little bare. Drinks are reasonably priced and the bartender was quick and attentive. Seems like a good place to take a large group of people, especially if its nice outside and you're looking for a beer garden (which aren't easy to find in this little area). Might come back for the food, although it will be tough to walk past Beckett's for this place.

    I came here to see Bye Bye Liver which is an awesome comedy show based around drinking games, which is held in Fizz's upstairs "theater". The show itself is great, but I'm not really here to review that. The building was nice and the set up for the show was great with the bar and bathrooms and tables, etc. We went downstairs to the main bar area after the show and it was super crowded. With the show tickets they said if you go down to Fizz's main bar you get a free shot. Okay, sounds good. There was literally no booze in that thing. It was like straight up lemonade. Nothing else appealed to me all that much...no good drink specials or beer on tap. There was no where to sit. So although, I enjoyed the show, Fizz itself was, well, okay. I suppose I didn't actually patronize the main bar area, but they really didn't have anything to offer me!

  • Nikkie H.

    My friend and I had dinner here before going up to see Bye Bye Liver, and were happy we could snag a table outside. Even though it was hot as bejesus out there was shade and a nice breeze making the evening comfortable. Overall the food was okay - I had a turkey burger with tots and my friend had a salad with fried potato salad. The two stars come off for service. We were seated promptly, our server brought out our drinks and then seemed to ignore us for 10 minutes. She wasn't waiting on other tables, just wandering around. We'd make eye contact, I'd wave and she would continue on without stopping. Once we finally snagged her she could probably tell I was irritated and was responsive after, but her overall demeanor was just unpleasant.

    Actually sent a burger back. My sister and I were going to share the Thai burger but when it came it was just a turkey burger with peanut butter on the roll. Super gross. The plain burger we got instead was almost as bad. We will not be going back

    And.... I'm the fiancee mentioned by Paul L. First time ordering food, and DEFINITELY the last. I semi-regularly go to Fizz for their swing dancing nights, which are incredible. The bartender upstairs is fantastic and very friendly! Dancing there couldn't be any better! But-- as many times that I've had good experiences dancing, this screw up leaves me no choice but to leave one star. Ordered Nachos with vegetarian chili... Saw the waitress write this down... She even offered to have them brought upstairs so I could start dancing-- sweet!!! The nachos came and I was initially impressed-- HUGE plate of nachos. Overfilling so I couldn't see the chili... As I ate it, I looked closer and realized that I'd been eating meat. They screwed up.... Twenty minutes later my stomach informed me of this. As I type, I'm still in bed sick and not sure if I'm leaving this spot today. I give a royal two thumbs down to Fizz's kitchen. Not only have I been feeling terrible that I ate an animal, but I'm violently ill from them not paying attention. You screwed up, Fizz.

    OK, I'll admit I'm a teenie bit biased. I help run the swing dance party every Monday night... I am an expert on the Loft since we're up there dancing. It is a really nice space and they are very helpful with all kinds of equipment - tables, chairs, sound board, and stage. I've been able to put on several live bands in the space. I don't think I mentioned the bar upstairs. It's pretty good but sometimes we'll need to go down the stairs for more beer choices and specialty drinks. And this the part of the review where I geek. I LOVE the specialty drinks that the new bartender is making! Soon, they are going to have a new drink menu featuring turn-of-the century drinks. Drinks that the bartender needs to make his own ingredients because the original ingredients called for in the drinks are extinct. My favorite is the Silver Fizz. and then there's the Bee's Knees with honey! YUMMY! Order up the drinks AT THE BAR and watch Peter in action. As for the food, you can't beat the 5 dollar special on Mondays. They've a new menu I have to go through. Everyone I know loves the fried potato salad! Though I've mostly been there on Mondays, its the place to go to hang out with friends. Love the beer garden and you can actually hold a conversation w/o having to yell. Only major fault is the server and kitchen's timing can be off. I often have to wait longer than expected and then then food can be cold too. It's my bar away from home!

    I've Fizzed more than my fair share of times and will definitely Fizz again. Stopped in last week after having a bit of a rough day and was welcomed by a super friendly waitress who was awesome with accommodating our crazy order, arranged for us to swap out a thing or two and was basically just nice. I know kinda sad when someone who is nice gets mad props but she went above and beyond. Food is decent bar food and wine by the glass selection was better than I expected. I love the chill vibe on the patio where dogs, babies, businessmen and giggling girls all coexist without any attitude or snarky looks. They could use a little spit and polish and maybe look up from the Mac book when you enter the empty bar to get to the patio, that was kind of the only downer.

  • James V.

    Sneaky good. The fried potato salad is a ridiculous guilty pleasure. The buffalo chicken sandwich is very good, as is the grilled cheese and Prime Burger. I would easily give Fizz 4 stars, however, there are two strikes against Fizz. The first I could happily overlook, the second I cannot. First, zero ambiance inside. It is a bar, through and through, that happens to have very good food. This would be a non-issue due to their spacious outdoor area. However, this potential positive is negated by smoking being allowed in the outdoor seating area. I don't care how good the food is, I can't go to Fizz knowing that my child is inhaling 2nd hand smoke. Too bad, I'd love continue my longtime patronage. No more.

  • Andrea C.

    i cant speak for the patio everyone's been raving about, since it was about 39 degrees outside when my boyfriend and i visited fizz. the bouncers were very friendly and it was not very crowded, both plusses. looks like they have regular drink specials, but the bf and i were just not overwhelmed with the quality of food or service for the price. i had a burger, on which i asked for bleu cheese to be substituted instead of cheddar. service was very slow and when we got our food, they forgot about my substitution. kinda a disappointment.... the food wasn't bad, it was fine pub grub type of stuff, but for as few people as there were in the bar, there's not an excuse to be so careless or slow. i try not to be too demanding at a restaurant because i've been a server before and i understand how tough it can be- so this was just kinda unfortunate.

  • Laila C.

    another tired Monday night. there's nothing in the fridge to make dinner with and i'm too lazy to improvise. Remember that the bar across the street has a fabulous monday night special: burger, fries & BEER all for only $5. Did I really see that?!?! so of course, grab bf when he returns and dash across the street. I'll admit I wasn't expecting much. $5 usually only gets you the beer...so what's the $0 burger and fries supposed to taste like? Well...let me tell you! it was delicious! def one of the best fries I've had. well seasoned and spiced and has that awesome crunch on the outside while still soft & mushy on the inside!!!! exactly how I like my fries!!!!!! the buger was good-mostly it won me over with the tiny bun and the large, thin, grilled patty. Yummers! it's actually refreshing to eat a thin beef patty, all the restaurants now are so obsessed with making the thickest, juiciest burger, sometimes all I want is a nicely grilled piece of beef. I gotta say that I'm very pleasantly surprised and I seriously, SERIOUSLY can't wait to go back in the summer when their nice big beer garden is open!!! Also, apparently they have BOGO pizzas on Wednesdays...hmm.... I'm willing to bet money our house still won't have groceries by Wed.....

    I've been to Fizz in the past and, from what I remember, it wasn't anything special. Booze and food. The food was OK - nothing to write home about... I mean, after a while, a bar is a bar is a bar. One Monday night, after my final Swing I dance class at Big City Swing, my classmates and I booked over to Fizz for Swing Night (and our "graduation") upstairs. Talk about a fun time! I had a blast getting my swing on, dancing with guys who can actually LEAD (what a concept), plus watching more advanced dancers strut their stuff. It was awesome! I will definitely be back for more. That is, on Mondays!

  • Laura G.

    LOVE FIZZ. I have been to Fizz upwards of ten times, and I still love it. Their beer selection is grand, everything I've eaten off the menu has been fantastic. Suggestion: Get the tempura battered chicken tenders with the buffalo sauce and ranch. SO GOOD. It is a really fun place to go with friends on a Friday before you go out, as appetizers are half price (I think before 7pm). Whenever I have friends in town, I take them here, especially when it's nice out and you can sit on the patio. The only reason I took off one star is that they have a staff of very ditzy boys working here. Like the kind that are good looking but you have to ask for another beer twice.

    Thursday night trivia was a blast! I enjoyed everything I had: Bottle caps - fried jalapeños served with ranch dressing it was GREAT Chicken Sandwich with brie and pecans on it... RIDICULOUSLY good . a friend had the "small" pizza. (still enough to feed three or four) had the pesto on it it was bomb diggity. also the fried potato salad was supes tasty. all in all Thursday night trivia is a great excuse to go out on a "School night"

  • Lindsay B.

    This is a nice place. Our server, Sarah, was wonderful! We enjoyed the outdoor patio, but minus a star for having a smoking section. Even though we were as far as we could be from the smoking section I could still smell smoke. We did a couple of beer flight, they had a good selection. We also had the spinach and artichoke dip which was excellent. I particularly enjoy the fact that there was a perfect dip to bread ratio. Someone sitting at the table next to us order wing that smelled delicious. We ordered some and they were pretty o.k. I would go back and check out a beer tasting event. They have one every month.

  • Nancy M.

    Went here with four friends to play trivia and was pleasantly surprised by how good Fizz's bar food is. The mini burgers were tasty and the wings were really good, too. Don't miss out on the sweet potato fries. The beer list is decent. The biggest downside to their beer garden (which I hear is fabulous in the summer) is that it makes the bar FREEZING in the winter, partly due to the fact that they allow smokers to smoke out in the beer garden... which also makes the bar smell like smoke. I'd recommend that they keep the doors to the beer garden closed during the winter and make the smokers head out the front door to do their business.

    I go here for the Comedy show.. and all of you should go too.. The food at Fizz is decent.. I'm just happy they have Wittekerke beer that I can drink while going to the comedy show. Overall the bar is alright. The bartenders are ok.. but sometimes I think they can be oblivious and don't know how to serve a beer sometimes. Anyway.. love the place.. come for the comedy.

  • Kyle H.

    Went yesterday and me and my friends shared pizzas, hot wings (pretty good), and a bunch of other appetizers. My friend said the Southwestern Chicken soup was great. Service at our table was excellent! There were a couple beers for $3, Three Floyds and a Rogue ale. Heard they have a nice smoking area, but it certainly needed those meat locker curtains yesterday, as it was 3 degrees and frigid air kept getting blown into the bar. I'd definitely go back for a weekday bar food gnoshing.

  • Erin O.

    We just had the most terrible service experience at Fizz. I've been there many times and their food is amazing and beverage selection is fair. Unfortunately, today the service was definitely not on par with their food. After ordering we sat unattended for a really long time. When our food was brought out after about an hour and 45 minutes, it was incorrect. After blaming a language barrier for the excuse of bringing fries instead of tots our actual order was finally brought out. Waiting 2 hours for two appetizers is not something I plan to do again.

    My secret beer garden. Why don't more people talk about this beer garden?! It's huge, offers seating for 150, and has heaters. My girlfriend and I got the appetizer sampler, which was so-so. Pulled pork was likely shredded and tasted like Lloyd's if one is familiar with that. (I was not a fan.) Tempura-battered chicken fingers were great, but the rest of the platter was simply sustenance. There's plenty more to the menu that I want to try, such as the jalapeno bottle caps.

    Do NOT go here... we showed up for trivia on Thursday, big mistake.. huge. We arrived at 8 so we could make sure to grab a table, trivia is supposed to start at 8:30, but the owner decided to squeeze a few pennies out of everyone at the bar while we were practically chanting for her to start trivia. The guy running trivia (who was very cool and nice) told us he was waiting for the go ahead from the owner who slowly bled us out of our money for their crappy food and lack of a waitress. Though once we specifically left our table to request a waitress one did come over and she was very nice. But come on Fizz get your act together, this is Chicago.

    Just went to Fizz for the first time with a group of 22 people last night. No problem sitting on the patio on a friday night (it was 90 degrees out). The waitress helped us to quickly pull chairs together. The beer list is great, but their food is hit or miss. The grilled chicken tender appetizer was amazing and only $4 for a great lakes brew on tap. Our large group loved the grouper sandwich and grilled calamari. However, forget ordering the nachos or the grilled chicken salad. Cheese wasn't melted on the nachos and the salad dressing was awful. The hummus plate was fine, but not memorable. The space is beautiful, but somewhat confused. I guess it's a sports bar. I don't know. Three of my friends said that they had been to Fizz to swing dance. This was surprising. Overall, for a huge group, this place is great. One waitress we had was super bubbly and sweet, the other had no personality, but was quick with drinks. I think I drop in regularly if they improved their menu. Perhaps a new chef?

  • amanda t.

    I really like this place and can't wait to hit up their trivia night again. They have three main points going for them based on my one visit. 1. Trivia Their trivia night is great although they were not keeping such a great eye on people using smart phones for answers. Had we opted to do that, we'd probably have won instead of coming in sixth. The host was great and we'd look over to see her dancing to the music in between questions. 2. Drinks They're all reasonably priced and have a pretty nice selection including bottles of Ace Pear cider and Edmund Fitzgerald porter on tap. I went all ciders that night but I'll definitely be needing have a couple pints of the EF next time I'm in. 3. Food Their burgers all come with a beef, turkey, or veggie patty option and are decent sized and come with your choice of potato product or side salad. One of these choices is tots which always gains a place a star in my book. My The Works turkey burger was super tasty and juicy which is great because I've ordered a few elsewhere that were so dry that they were like eating a turkey meat wafer. The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because our waitress kept offering to bring us the check in the middle of things. Like once in the middle of eating our food, once when we weren't even at the halfway point of the trivia game, and another time when I was actually flagging her down for another drink.

    Solid beer selection, fair prices for the neighborhood. Fantastic staff, especially Julie. Great food, the fried potato salad, probably not too healthy, but really freakin' good. There's a large Beer Garden, that's perfect for larger groups to hang out in during the nicer weather. Also Ping pong, Darts, Amish fireplaces and shows on the upper level. Excellent all around

    (5)

  • Jeremy T.

    Horrible. Totally dead on a Friday night, yet they were unable to take credit cards. The waitress was utterly clueless about their beer selection. She didn't know anything about beer nor did she know the prices of any of the whiskies. I ordered a Goose Island specifically because it was on special for $5, yet she served me a different Goose Island that was $7.75. She also took literally ten minutes to bring our drinks even though it was completely dead. We couldn't wait to get out of there.

  • Kevin R.

    First off, let me say, overall I like this place. I have been hearing about the performance venue that is located upstairs. I randomly found myself there for someone's birthday, so I snuck upstairs in the middle of a burlesque show. I, as a performer, am a real fan of their performance space. I don't think you can get much better than that if you are performing at a traditional bar. Here's the deal: I arrived late and did not stay too long. Other tidbits: I have never seen such drunk people at a bar. Was it the weather, was it the time? It was about midnight and there were more incredibly drunk people there than I had ever seen. Some guy asked me to help him beat up another guy while I was in the bathroom. To top it off, they were out of soap! There is a beer garden, it is nice. There is food, I had some leftover pizza that other people had ordered. It was good, legitimately. The staff seemed a little bit ornery. Yes. Ornery. Does every beer garden in the city close at midnight? It must. They were really filing us out of there quickly. In the end, I might go back here if encouraged.

  • Vanessa P.

    First off, their beer garden is huge and can hold around 100 people. It's got plenty of tables and in the back is a foosball table and a few dart boards. When I called ahead and asked to reserve some tables for 40 people (July Beer Garden event), they were 1) surprised and 2) very accommodating. The day of the actual event there was some major rain, but we were still able to be in the garden due to the fortitude of one guy continually cleaning the tables and pushing the puddles into the floor drains. Our server was great. She was right on top of things and made sure we always had a drink in our hands. Decent drink prices. Food was just ok. I had a veggie burger and it did what it was meant to do -- give me a base for my booze. Overall, I'll be back based on service alone.

    I am definitely a fan of this place. First off, the food. I came here for the first time on a Thursday night for Yelp's July Beer Garden Event. The bf and I started off with a dozen 25 cent wings, half hot and half sweet. They were some of the best wings we have had so far since moving to the city. While we couldn't have 12 of the hot or 12 of the sweet, the half and half combination is perfect. I then got a salad for my entre with a tuna steak. The tuna steak was HUGE and had great flavor. For the amount of money we paid, I was thoroughly impressed. We returned on a Saturday night and had the wings again, minus the 25 cent special. Still delicious and worth the extra couple of bucks. I have had a couple mixed drinks there and was not too impressed. I definitely did not like the alcohol to mix drink ratio. The beer was reasonably priced which somewhat made up for the lack of alcohol in the mixed drinks. Lastly, I LOVE the Beer Garden. It is a great place to hang out in the nice weather, especially on a hot humid night. The staff is always really friendly and this is overall a great place to come and hang out.

    Went last night on a whim with a buddy of mine. We discovered that it was trivia night, and even though we got there after it started, and weren't actually in the running, we had fun guessing at the questions anyway. We sat outside in the beer garden, and were the only ones out there for a while, which was nice. Per other Yelp recommendations, I had the fried potato salad, which was good for a minute, and quickly turned bad. It was served warm, and the potatoes were smothered in a mayo-based sauce... perhaps the cook just dressed it a bit too much. My sandwich, tho, was probably one of the best grilled cheeses that I've had in a bar atmosphere. It was made on thick texas toast, and buttered just right, with oozing cheese in the middle with some added tomato that I asked for (extra charge). Bottom line: Will I go back? Yes, but I'll get there in time for trivia with a group of friends.

    The food is slightly better than your average bar food but that's about the only good thing I can say about the place. The wait staff is nice but the service overall is TERRIBLE, they are clearly understaffed. And I had an encounter with the owner recently who could not have been more rude and unappreciative of my regular business. So I plan on never returning and I encourage all my friends and fellow yelpers to do the same. There's a million other places in the neighborhood that would gladly take my money.

    The only reason I know about this place is because they're the only place nearby that always has the Saints game on during football season. The food is good and the Magic Hat is on draught so I will gladly come here to enjoy the game with fellow Who Dat natives.

    Went this weekend to watch a football game. Service was good even though it was packed. I had lots to drink and it was very reasonably priced. Get the fried potato salad. It's a side, but it eats like a meal. That and the blackened Chicken made me very happy.

    great food specials... i'm normally at fizz for summer drinks in the beer garden that i forget about their better than average food specials. we were extremely excited to walk into fizz on "st. paddy's saturday" to find them not only serving their full menu but honoring their usual deal of 1/2 price pizzas! sure beats the $15 corned beef or burgers that we refused to buy into. the pizzas are quite good too! for some reason, fizz serves up a mean magic hat #9! i've had #9 at both chief o'neill's and flounders and it just isn't the same. i'm not sure what fizz is adding to the kegs ;)

    I second the "epic fail" comment on the service. We were out on the patio for a late afternoon lunch and despite being half full, it took our server twenty minutes to actually bring us menus. Now we have young kids with us, including a toddler so you would think they would be a little more on the ball but no - our server kept getting distracted (people asking to move tables, people needing more water, etc.) everyone else in the restaurant being served while we sat and sat...and sat some more. After 1/2 an hour we finally just gave up and left...may have been another 15 minutes before our server even noticed! Until they are willing to spend some time and money getting their waitstaff up to snuff, I will be giving it a miss.

    The one or two times I've eaten here it was fine, but not noteworthy. Mostly I come to Fizz for the Monday night swing dancing. Fizz is where you'll find Chicago's best swing dancers and Lindy Hoppers struttin' their stuff. The dance floor is long and narrow and crowded. Even in the middle of winter it's hot and sweaty. And there's a birthday jam circle almost weekly. But, if you're a swing dancer, this is where you want to be on a Monday night. Plus, when there are dance festivals in Chicago, those in the know often stay an extra day or two just so they can go to Fizz, so even if you don't go to the festival, you can get to dance with visiting dancers just by showing up at Fizz on the following Monday. Cover is pretty cheap and there's a student discount. Also, the bartender is great and doesn't hassle you if you just want tap water.

    Just came here for a birthday party. I was a little nervous about suggesting this place based on prior reviews highlighting the poor service. Apparently, Fizz has been reading Yelp reviews because their service was nothing but amazing! No one in our group had been to Fizz before and we were all discussing how we can't wait to come back. We had the BOGO pizzas, brought our own cupcakes, and were a larger party of 12. Our waitress was attentive with food and drinks! I had the salad pizza, which was delicious. The best part of this place is the beer garden. We'll definitely be back!

    Belly and Fizz are like two twin eyesores on the horizon that I wish I could eradicate by mental telekinesis. Fizz?! Man! Look, the bartenders here are cool and I don't mind them, I was sitting in the bar waiting for some friends to show up so we could all go somewhere (I don't remember where, but the idea certainly was not to stay!). Go sit under the orange bright lights and ask the bartender for a drink suggestion. The bartender, I don't know who I thought I was but suggested that I drink a Cosmopolitan! I didn't know wtf it was but I drank this cocktail from Hell and gagged while trying to drink this sorry excuse for a drink. I am sure it was not his fault and that the Cosmo was good for being a Cosmo, but why the Hell are you trying to make me a Cosmo? What kind of man even serves another man a Cosmo!? Food here is good, I've had an appetizer platter and a burger. The burger is very comparable to other bars and does not merit great distinction. The dollar value as mentioned in my review of Belly is not as compelling as in areas closer to DePaul. The spot I didn't check out was their upstairs which apparently has live music. I think you have to pay a cover so it's a shame.

    I'm not sure why this place has such mediocre reviews... I came here last night with Clayton J.to hear the CLAJE (look it up) play in the upstairs room. I thought the space itself was really cool and provided a great venue for the concert, particularly considering the room is used for a ton of non-concert events as well. It was a little warm in the room and I asked about the ceiling fans. Within about 2 minutes they had them all turned on. I found the drinks to be very reasonably priced for the area and atmosphere of Fizz. They had Magic Hat and Oberon pints for $4 and Jameson drinks for $5; and this was on a Friday night! Plus, all of their standard cocktails are $5 and come in a freaking pint glass! $5 for a pint of booze? Hell yes. I didn't have any food, but Clayton J. had the chicken strips and practically fell off his stool when he ate one (in a good way). I found the service to be prompt and the bartenders very friendly. No complaints here....

    I've lived in the neighborhood almost as long as Fizz has been around. I am a regular there as it provides the neighborhood a decent place to grab a bite and a beer, and offers a nice outdoor beer garden in the summer to do it. Atmosphere is non pretentious and laid back, and the staff is usually really friendly. I notice there are some reviews here that ding the service, and it is understandable. From time to time I think they struggle to find good wait staff, but I think thats common for any restaurant. That said, I have experienced some recent stumbles in the service department there, but I'm lucky in that, as a regular, I usually get taken care of because I know many of the bartenders and wait staff by first name. Enough about the service, lets talk food. I enjoy Fizz a lot because it offers a cut above your average bar food and is pretty consistently good. I recommend the homemade pizzas, that almost as good as any thin crust pizza joint in the city. They have a good selection of apps, with many faves like the tempura chicken tenders, quesadillas, and mini burgers. I would love to see them change up their menu a bit more, but thats probably because I'm there so often. Tap selection is really good. They do a great job of featuring craft brews, and their selection tends to stay contemporary. Add to that a ton of bottle selections, and you'd be hard pressed not to find a beer you liked there. Finally, Fizz does a great job of featuring daily specials, like half priced pizzas and 2 for 1 apps throughout the week. Makes going there a reasonable alternative to dining at home. They also have interesting ongoing events like tastings, trivia nights, etc that break the monotony of your standard bar vibe and help bring some diversity to the crowd. My final word on Fizz - its worth at least 2 tries, especially if your first experience is only marred by poor service. If you can overlook that, chances are your second visit will be great.

    Wow. The service is so, so incredibly awful. I've been there twice and its been just horrible both times. First time, I went with my boyfriend to grab a BOGO pizza and a beer. We sat down and waited for a full ten minutes (no drinks, menus, acknowledgement from the staff) before we flagged down a girl to take our order. We never saw her again. We just ordered our beers at the bar, it was much easier. So bad. Second time we went to watch the final game of the Stanley Cup. Sure, it was a little crowded, but not NEARLY busy enough to merit the terrible service. We ordered drinks from the bar, then waited fifteen minutes at the table. I literally had to get up and ask a waitress how I should order food. She said, "i'll take care of you in just a minute." Ten minutes later, I asked a different girl what to do about ordering. Ten minutes after that, a different girl took our order. The food, which was good, came out soon after (but she never brought us napkins, plates, forks.) We had to order our drinks from the bar the rest of the evening because literally, we would order drinks from our waitress and watch her do 8 other things while completely forgetting us, time and time again. FAIL. Food is ok but does NOT make up for the ridiculously bad service. Skip it!! P.S. The guy bringing out food works harder than the whole rest of the staff put together.

    Is this place a Lesbian bar? That's the vibe I got when I was here for a friend's birthday. Plenty of mannish looking women abound the night I was there. The service was pretty slow, the bar was freezing cold, and it smelled bad at our tables. You know that gross, uncleaned bar smell that is a lot more noticeable in more bars these days since the smoking ban. Kinda a rotten garbage sprinkled in vomit smell, topped off with half a bottle of cheap tequila Oh, and then the waitress shattered a bottle of malted vinegar, adding to the already putrid aroma. It was cleaned up and she decided the best course of action was to take purfume out her purse and spray tons of it on the floor. In a city with as many bar choices as there are in Chicago, I see no reason why I would ever return here. Unless I was looking to pick up a lesbian.

    I went here Saturday night for a birthday party. The location had lots of free street parking (pay boxes are void after 9pm). Excellent. Free cover. A big plus. The venue was a little narrow. Getting to the bathroom was a struggle because the distance between the bar and the back wall was about 10-12 feet. Not good. Plenty of big screen TV's for people who like to watch their sports. Good. Crowd was pretty diverse without too many posers. Just regular people looking to have a good time. Very good. The music was very bland. Top 40 hits that you can listen to on the radio. If you like Beyonce or The Black Eyed Peas then you will like the selection by the "DJ." Blech. Overall, its the kind of place that would serve as a good "starter" bar before you move on to a bigger and better deal, IMO.

I was here for a special event organized by Hot House and Chicago Samba and they were very good to us. The owner went out of his way to make our event a great success. The staff was extremely helpful in assisting us with the sold out show that attracted more people than we expected. While we sorted out our waiting list of 50 guests they made sure all were well attended to and comfortable. For all you single ladies, I have never seen more good looking men in one room, Not that I was looking, I just casually noticed ! I will definitely go back !

    We went to Fizz last Monday night for our "Monday Night Burger Night" tradition, and while Fizz no longer has a burger special, they do have pizza specials on Mondays so we said, what the hell. The place was empty, I kinda like it that way, however it was FREEZING! They have swing dancing upstairs with a cover on Mondays too, but that doesn't start til 9pm so there was no body heat! The pizzas are personal pizzas and you can get just plain cheese for $3 (with an alcoholic beverage) and then any extra toppings are $1 each. They were thin crust and really really good. Especially with a Jack & Coke. When we were done eating, the bartender asked if we wanted any dessert. I ordered another pizza. Yum. My stomach hated me after that. But I loved Fizz.

    Went here for a biking 'after party' and if not for the huge patio would have given three stars, but based on size alone it grants Fizz four stars. Right on Lincoln @ Ashland and Belmont the Fizz is great in the summer for large crowds. The patio has tons of seating, tents, even space heaters for the chilly summer evenings. I'll have to go back in the winter time to get a better feel, but my Blue Moons were fairly priced and considering how I lost my debit card out front and yet my friend found it an hour later it has to be good karma - thanks Fizz!

    I never wanted to have to write a "less than positive" review. However, I'm hoping maybe someone will see the feedback and try to make it better. Fizz is a great place with some great food and tasty beverages. The servers were super sweet. I went there twice this last weekend. HOWEVER, my one main complaint is service is very SLOW. So, that said -if you are not in a hurry and are having a good time with friends, it's not that big of a deal. However, when you really want a beer on a hot day and it takes 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge you and then another 10-15 to get your drink, that's slow service. If they can improve that aspect, they will get 5 starts in my book!

    Wednesday night at fizz is the best night of the week- half priced pizzas and amazing tiki drinks are hard to beat. Plus in the summer the beer garden is sweet to sit outside and chill at and in the winter it's nice to have heat lamps for smoking (and you can bring your drink out- double bonus!). Ive only been to one comedy show here and it was great- I definitely would go back for more. Only complaint is sometimes, even when it's dead, the service takes AGES. lately it's been fine, but in the past I've had to wait forever just to get a cup of water.

    I met a group about ten folks here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We sat out on the patio, which was pretty nice. At first, our server was fine - friendly, efficient, a little slow but we weren't in a hurry. The first 45 minutes of our night rated the two stars. Then she just... stopped coming to our table. We waved her over three times, and each time she waved back, but she never returned. We just got our drinks from the bar from then on. The patio closes at 11, and the bouncer made a sweep to push us inside, which was crazy crowded. We frantically tried to get our server so we could pay. After about ten minutes, we got a bill that just listed a total - no itemization for what we ordered, so we couldn't figure out who owed what or even if the bill was accurate. The bouncer was yelling at us to get inside, we were trying to pay so we could get the f out of there, the d-bag quotient in the bar was going through the roof... I was perfectly willing to walk out on the check, which we could have easily done. My friends are more honest than I, so we continued to fend off the bouncer until we could hand our server the cash, and then we ran out of that bar like our asses were on fire.

    I went to Fizz last night because a couple of my friends bought tickets to an 11 o'clock at night show at the stage that is located on the second floor of Fizz. Considering last night was the night before Halloween, we found out that Fizz was one of the last stop for their Halloween Pub Crawl. In addition to that, there was also another show at said stage earlier that night, so needless to say, the place was PACKED! As far as the place, the first floor of Fizz consists of one main bar on the left side when you enter. The place in itself was very long and narrow, with many high top tables along side the bar (which has stools) and a group of tables at the end towards the back. Thankfully, when we got there, the first show was about to start, so that cleared a good number of tables for us to sit at. We originally wanted to get some food prior to our late show, so we opted to sit toward the back where the tables were. First thing we noticed...the service. Despite the fact that this place was PACKED, they were very attentive and friendly. The server was awesome and responsive; and so was the busboy. Foodwise, I highly recommend the artichoke and spinach fondue dip. Be careful, the plate is sizzling when it came out but it was outstanding. We also ordered the "bottle caps" as a starter (which was fried jalapeno slices) and that was good as well. For dinner I ordered what they called "the after school" which consisted of a grilled cheese sandwich (which was very good) and a side of tomato soup (which was tasty). I also ordered a side of the "fried potato salad", and that was not bad, except I would have ordered the sauce (I think it was thousand island) on the side. The sauce made the fried potatoes a bit soggy...and I am not a fan of soggy potatoes. One of my friends ordered a side salad with an order of nachos, and talk about a HEALTHY portions of nachos (it's enough to feed you and a few friends...and was great). My other friend ordered the three cheese grilled cheese with roasted peppers and bacon, and that looked awesome. Overall a good meal. And to top it off, the burlesque show we went to upstairs was out of this world funny...definitely a good way to end the night!

    If you like Lindy Hop - this is the place in Chicago to find it on Monday nights. Enter the bar, go left and up the stairs. The dancers are the best of the best of swing dancers (but pretty friendly to the n00bs doing six-count/east coast swing). Music starts around 9:30 and goes till 1. Sometimes, Lippy will spin vinyl...look for it to be really crowded when he does. Really this is the best swing dance spot in chicagoland. Aside from that...I can't say I've ever ordered anything fancy at Fizz. Or food for that matter. Once I looked at their patio (which is how most people know the place). The bartenders are pretty friendly and it does have a good overall Chi-town vibe but really...it's about the Monday night swing.

  • Colleen C.

    The first time I went there, I concluded that they had a damn good chop salad, okay drinks, and horrible service. That time, our "waitress" spent most of the time chatting with some girlfriend instead of checking on us...and we were the ONLY people in the place aside from 3 people at the bar! I even had to go over to the bartender to ask for water refills after the waitress was - still - talking to her friend nearby. Bottom line - we knew the service wasn't good, but liked the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere. My boyfriend and I decided to go back on a somewhat busy football game day on the weekend. BIG mistake. We stood around for about 5 minutes waiting for someone to seat us, confused as to whether or not we seat ourselves. There were a few open tables by the window...A waitress walked by to put drinks down at a table and my boyfriend asked her nicely, "Excuse me - is it okay if we sit over there?" Her response? She shook her head in annoyance, put the drinks down on her customers' table, and walked away. Flat. Out. Ignored us. I will not be back. The salad wasn't good enough to put up with that shit.

    This place was better than expected. I don't know what it is about this place, but to every person that I mentioned I was going here, they all said something derogatory or made a face about this place. I kept waiting for some horrible service issue or rude people and it just didn't happen. I had a fun time! I found the bartenders and servers to be friendly and efficient. Of course, I was with a large party and they fixed the service issue with the "old wristband" approach where you pay once and drink and eat for the rest of the night. I certainly made the most of my $32 investment! The music was great ( that just means I recognized the tunes) No house music here- more like the best of the 70's, 80's and 90's (sounds like a radio station tag line) which was fine by me! We even pushed the tables aside and had a makeshift dance floor which they were cool with. Salsa anyone?? The food was okay- had a bunch of typical bar food and snacks- wasn't expecting haute cuisine so I left happy. We went there so that we could celebrate in their very large beer garden but in true Chicago style, while the weather the day before had been in the 80's- last night it was about 47 so needless to say, we stayed indoors!!! I will need to go back on a "real night" as the people in there were fun- but since we all knew each other and there were about 50 of us in total- I am not sure who the "regulars" are. For me- the next time I go it will be to enjoy a "cold one" on a hot day in that big beer garden. I'll look for you there.

    I can't review on what I didn't experience, mainly the upstairs or the beer garden or the smoking "area". Since I last was there when the weather was cold, maybe that was the beer garden. I liked the inside of the bar - from what I remember it was spacious with some nice wood interior decor going on. The service wasn't anything memorable, but that said, it wasn't as horrendous as others have written. Perhaps I lucked out. The drink I specifically remember tasted exactly like a pineapple upside down cake. Think of a cake in liquid form in a glass. As it was my birthday, when I had asked to be surprised with a drink of their choice, I had not expected such overly-sweet goodness. I wouldn't make a trip specifically to go here, but I'd stop back if I were in the area.

    This place really surprised me. Having walked by it many times, I finally went in this weekend because my friend's roommate's friend's band was playing. From the outside I always thought it looked like just another lakeview sports bar. But once I walked in, I knew that I had been wrong. There is a certain comfortable feel about this place. A nice long bar downstairs with a lot of people sitting around chatting. Nice wood decor. Good beer selection. Upstairs, which is where the show was, is another nice, open room. Good venue for any sort of performance. And another bar, so we didn't have to keep walking up and down the stairs. I didn't have any food, so I can't speak to that. I will probably come back again to hang out with friends over some beers next time we are looking for a change of scenery. And I'd love to check out the patio if the weather ever warms up.

    Judging only on looks and neighborhood, I always assumed Fizz would kind of suck. Something about it just seemed overly polished and irritating. I was wrong, totally, and I'm glad I was. The last time I was at Fizz it was for an opening party my friend was having, as the were putting her photos up on their walls. I got there early to grab some dinner with my girlfriend and "the couple". You all know "the couple", the ones you're scared to eat with because they're terribly picky orderers. The like to send drinks back for what seems to be no reason, three times. The ask to hear about all the different kinds of mustard available, etc. Anyway, out waitress was incredibly kind and understanding, even after the third variation of the French Martini was requested. The service was quick and if she was frowning, rolling her eyes or muttering under her breath, she was nice enough not to make it obvious. We ordered a couple different appetizers to split, and every one of them was excellent. Our food and drinks were moderately priced, and totally worth it. I can't remember if the music came from a playlist or a jukebox, but I do remember being pleasantly surprised with how god some of it was. The place was really nicely decorated, and although I didn't make it upstairs, I understand they have comedy and some live music going on. When the party for my friend started, the manager came by and set out huge trays of appetizer samplers. If only I hadn't stuffed my face before- all I can say is that the little pulled pork sandwiches were awesome. Aside from the great service and good food, Fizz scores mad points for their really nice patio, which is heated, and where you can still smoke. It makes one nostalgic for a couple months ago.

    On a Saturday night, I went to see Bye Bye Liver for my friend's 27th birthday (shout out to Compton!!!) What is Bye Bye Liver, you may ask? It is a HILARIOUS interactive drinking play performed at Fizz Bar in Chicago. Once the play started at 8PM, I didn't stop laughing for the entirety of the performance. The cast regularly writes new material, but clearly they'll stick with the skits that get a great reaction. After each show, the members come down the stairs to the regular part of Fizz and speak with audience members. We were lucky enough to chat with Danielle Wheeler, one of the show's beauties, about her unfortunate dating past (I could definitely sympathize). The cast members drink right along with the audience; Danielle informed us that they don't know which bottles contain alcohol until the play is underway so those liquor-faces after doing shots don't require much acting at all! I was very happy to see this play, especially since it involved drinking, and because the birthday girl bought the tickets off of Groupon! Ours were each $12.50 and regular priced tickets are $20. But now that I know the quality of the jokes and how much I laughed, I'd venture to say that I would go back, even if I have to pay full price!

    I like Fizz over Belly's, but that's not saying much. I enjoy their wide selection of beers, but when I drink a beer I like to eat a burger. That's my thing. In the burger department, Fizz is a huge let down. They start out promising with all the topping choices and the fact that they come on a pretzel roll, but don't let that fool you. Their meat is dry and flavorless. It's gross. I wouldn't even bother giving your server a temperature request. The only temp it comes is in medium nasty. However, they DO have tasty pizzas and quesadillas.

    I don't come here that often anymore, but I used to frequent here during the summer because their outdoor patio is awesome. It's frickin' huge! And there's a fountain! And the servers don't forget about you if you decide to go out there! The food is typical bar food, but my dad says that the angus burger is the best he's ever had. Funny, I haven't tried it, being that I love meat and I lived a stone's throw from here for about 4 years. The drinks are the same sort of selection as anywhere else, but it's cheaper than most places in the area and it's really not bad. The bartenders are not slim on pouring a stiff drink and are interesting characters to say in the least. They have live bands and even stand up comedians upstairs (or private parties) which is also a plus.

    So far, I've only gone here to swing dance on Monday nights. They have a great room upstairs that has plenty of dancing space for almost everybody. It has a stage, too, that looks like a great one for a band or open mic night or something. And the bartender doesn't cop a 'tude when the dancers ask for water. It gets hot when you're lindy hopping your ass off! They play sports on the tv's downstairs so my non-dancing gentleman can enjoy something HE likes, too! Drink prices are reasonable, one waitress I've had downstairs is particularly slow when there are hardly any people in the bar, but it's okay. I'm not in a hurry, really. Oh, and they have an awesome beer garden! Any place that provides swing music and a dance floor is good by me!

    Does three times in a week make you a regular? At this bar, that is definitely not a bad thing. My favorite night was the birthday pub crawl. This was the starting off point, and the bartenders were very accomodating to this drunk girl as far as choices go. They offered me several different options before I could decide. :) The food here is really good, too. The burger is much better than some of the other hood bars. I was also there on Wed. night for comedy hour, which had a good crowd and some good laughs. Rumor has it that there is also a swing dance night, which has some good potential for fun since I love to dance. The best thing about the bar is still yet to come, which is the spacious beer garden. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to enjoy it this week with warmer weather!

    I was a bit disappointed by the meal I had at Fizz. I realize that it is a bar and their is only so much you can do with bar food; but the food served here didn't even live up to the bar food standard. We started with the spinach and artichoke appetizer; not so good. I didn't think anybody can screw this up, but they managed. I ordered the Prime Burger and it wasn't to bad but for what they charged I've had better for less. My wife ordered the apple/walnut salad and the salad dressing tasted like Robitussin; needless to say she didn't eat much of it. If your looking for a nice outdoor space to have a beer; this place is perfect. But look to go elsewhere when you start to get hungry.

    Fizz - great place to meet up with friends and an awesome beer garden on a perfect summer day. But you can read all about that in everyone else's reviews. I'm here to tell you what a perfect place it is to hold your event and hey, even your wedding! It could have been a disaster. Long story short, tight budget, 3 months to plan, and we were trying to get hitched in late fall (Thanksgiving weekend to be exact) which meant outdoors was right out. Friday of Labor day weekend, I started calling around. Fizz was the first to call us back (same day!) and after a chat and a visit to the space, we had our venue booked. Yes, we got married in the loft above Fizz Bar and Grill and it was the best time of our lives. They provided everything we needed including catering, table, dishes, linens, PA, a stage, bartenders and staff. They worked wonderfully hard to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. We were able to decorate how we wanted, have our own DJ's, and bring in our desserts from outside as well. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars has to do with the food. First off, let me say it was great too, that wasn't the problem at all. We're vegetarians, as were many of our guests, but we didn't want to restrict our meaty guests so we ordered a couple meat dishes among our buffet style appetizer faire. I would have liked a few more creative veggie options - it was somewhat limited. However the real issue was the order of serving, the veggies were all served first and meat last instead of being better mixed. So our guests just thought they were appetizers. :( No one's fault really, it's a tough thing to manage - but by the time my husband and I made it to the table, there was no veggie food left. So really, the problem might be all the food was too good and we should have ordered more.

    Beware The Lurker. I like fizzbar. Their drinks are reasonably priced and their food is pretty good. They have comedy shows that are sometimes pretty funny. The service is good too. But beware the lurker. The lurker is an employee at Fizz. Maybe a manager. Perhaps the owner. He is old enough to be your dad and he looks like the one armed man from "The Fugitive." He has graying curly hair and he will creep on your lady friends. Maybe you don't want that kind of attention. Maybe you do. Either way you're getting it from the Lurker. His method of choice is trying to talk to your girlfriend when she's away from you, or exiting the bathroom. Particularly if he sees you with her and doesn't want you around when he tries to approach. Enjoy Fizz. But beware the lurker. You'll know who I mean when you see him.

    Really enjoyed fizz last night. I think they had a nice menu, good looking burgers. I opted for a buffalo chicken sandwich and was blown away, it wasn't a skimpy piece of chicken, it was a sizable perfectly cooked piece of chicken breast in a sauce that wasn't very spicy but very flavorful. My girlfriend ordered a veggie burger and she really liked it, they threw it on a very nice roll which improved the normal level of quality of a veggie burger. The beer selection was great, loved that they had a nice selection of strong ales as well as a good draft list. And they weren't too expensive to boot. Anyway I'm sure we will be back.

    Fizz, to me, is a great place if you want to go out with some friends, hear yourselves talk, have a nice table outside, and have a nice selection of beers and food available. Not really a meet market place, not a place where you shout to hear your neighbor, and I wouldn't really have any interest in going if there wasn't a beer garden. but if you're looking for exactly what I described in my sentence, fizz is the place for you.

    I know nothing about Fizz as a regular bar. However, I've been coming here on Monday nights since before I lived in Chicago--it's the best regular swing dance night in the city. I teach swing dancing, and Fizz is where most of the experienced dancers in the scene go. (Depending on who's DJing, you'll find music for lindy, Charleston, blues, and balboa--Chicago tends to be a fairly groovy city rather than one geared toward vintage music or fast dancing.) That said, if you're new to dance you won't feel alone--there are lots of newer people here, especially if you catch "grad night," where students who have just finished a session of classes at Big City Swing appear in force. Upstairs opens at 9:30pm for dancing, but most people don't get there until around 10:30pm. It closes at 1:00am. Cover is $6 ($4 if you're a student). Don't get too intimidated by dancers who are above your level--most of us are pretty friendly, and it's generally bad etiquette to turn down a dance if asked. (Exceptions include: genuine tiredness, your bad B.O., already promising a dance to someone else that song.) So join us on Mondays--it's miles above booty dancing at a club.

    I am a big fan of beer gardens. Just sitting around with friends enjoying a cold one is a great way for me to just relax, unwind, and have a good time. I give this beer garden a great big thumbs up. It is a great size and a very nice relaxing atmosphere. I went here with a group of about 20 people and our server did a decent job of taking care of us. The patio was not all that crowded because of a recent rain so we had most of it to ourselves. The bartender was very friendly too and very efficent. I went on $0.25 wing night and scarfed down 8 of them sweet BBQ babies and they were pretty darn tasty. They have a decent sized menu and a good selection of beers. I would love to go back!

    Fizz - did it sizzle? Or fizzle? Here's the shizzle my nizzle: I went to Fizz on a Sunday after a FAILED meal at Wishbone (see that review and beware). I went with the same two Yelpers and we sat outside to enjoy a super gorgeous afternoon. My brunch drink mode was still set to "on" so I ordered a mimosa. Another Yelp buddy went the bloody route while the final Yelper went for some gingerale (yes Wishbone was that bad). I really like the outdoor patio because it is back away from the sidewalk - between two buildings so it's not directly on the street. It is like a beer garden but with cement instead of vegetation. Our waitress was really cool - even when I ordered one $1 mini burger. Yes, just one. I know, I know, seemed pointless but that little guy totally hit the spot - perfect with a single pickle on top. The server originally gave the mini burger to the next table where some guy had ordered a HUGE regular burger. I saw all of this go down which amused me because there was this guy with a mother burger and my poor little burgie! The guy goes "what the?" but I motioned to the server that the burgie was indeed mine. I got it, ate it, loved it and would have ordered some more except I had literally just eaten another meal - ooops. As for the drinks - yay on the mimosa, nay on the bloody. I like what Fizz was throwin' down that afternoon so I will be back if I'm in the hood again.

    It takes alot to drag me out of wickerpark, but Fizz has two things going for it that get me in a cab: first, they have free darts, which is cool. Second, the free darts are located in an enclosed patio you can smoke on. The first night I experienced this was heavenly. it was nice and toasty, I was able to smoke while throwing darts and wearing a tshirt. awesome. We went back last weekend, and half of the front tent had been ripped down, apparently by one manager to comply with the spirit of hte smoking ban. This kinda sucked, if it's a technicality surely there is another, less mission critical panel that could be removed. As it stands, it defeats the pont. ANy non smokers dumb enough to come outside will still be subjected to trapped smoke, except now there is a blistering breeze. To make matters worse, the self service heatlamps were out of propane and only worked sporadicly. Darts (and drinking) is much less fun in a big ass coat. Hopefully it was just an off night; I'd love to cll this one of my favorite spots, provided they can give me a warm place to smoke and throw dars I'll make the $9 cab trip over and over.

    For drinks and appetizers, recommended. Otherwise not so much.. Just reviewing a dining experience after work on Monday in winter so can't speak to the upstairs venue, specialty nights, or patio. OK, first the placing was frigid...both of us put our coats back on and the waiter was wearing a sweater flapped ear hat. And what is with the multiple provided menu assault?! The laminated and paper menus ( I counted 8 on our table) totally took over the table top and the only "value" added selections were the leftovers from Mardi Gras specials that they likely never sold out of (Mardi Gras was a week before) and there was no way I'd consider ordering a week old/refrigerated entoufee and oysters! Tacky and health department worthy of mention if not fresh from that day. The food was just ok. Bar-standard appetizers were the best...good hot wings and fresh/nicely breaded calamari. The beef burger was terrible...bad pre-pressed beef with sponginess vs a good burger chew. The evening special Cuban shredded port sandwich was good. Sweet potato fries were very good. The fried potato salad was nasty...basically it's deep fried potato cubes with a slaw dressing poured on top. Blech. Had a couple draft beers and the beers were warmer than the restaurant! Sorry, it was COLD in there! Our server was very attentive, friendly, I would come back for the friendly vibe, to watch a game and have drinks/nibbles.

    I think the best part of this joint is the sign and the name. I just like going to a place called fizz. It makes me sound like an elitist.... "where you heading tonight?".... "Fizz baby, Fizz." Anyways drinks are a little on the pricey side and the food is typical bar food. Good place to go chill and have a couple of beers.

    Hip lounge with cool glass brick upstairs. Long stair case coming down I thought I was going to take a tumble. Friendly and casual place. We came here for stand-up comedy and for a couple drinks before we went back to the apartment down the street. Its a nice place for a night cap and entertainment live and still close to the apartment for us.

    Cheap buckets of wings on Thursdays. I liiiiike. Yes, that's buckets of wings, not beers. Strange, I know. They put wings in the beer buckets. But it works, right? The beer garden is perfect on a hot, humid evening. Cold beers + hot night = most excellent. The wings could use a bit more sauce, but the heat index was just about perfect. I'd only get the hot ones, though. The sweet BBQ paled in comparison to some others I've tried (i.e. Redmond's). Our waiter was charming. He spilled a beer on me, but I can't even fault him for it.

    Decided to stroll down Lincoln last weekend to find a dinner spot. The beer specials got us in the door and the food will keep us coming back. I've had a lot of burgers in a lot of cities and Fizz is HANDS DOWN one of the best, if not THE best, I've ever had. Bottle caps and spinach dip are unlike others I've had before. Plenty of awesome craft brews on tap at reasonable prices. Having lived in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area for about 5 years now, Fizz has to be the best kept secret I've uncovered. Highly recommend!

    RoCkZ! Alright...I've been going to Fizz for a long time now. This bar has something to offer in every season, and every night of the week (Check their calendar). It can be your "go-to" pub in the dead of winter, party on New YeAr's, weekend place to watch a game, dance floor, or great scene in fall/summer to hang in the beer garden. Did I mention that the beer garden is Huge?! It is a great place to be on the right night because depending on your mood, you can roam from the beer garden, to the main bar, or to the loft. The bartenders RoCk as well. Aaron makes AmAzInG drinks, ...is a shot chef, and creates a purrrfect grey goose dirty martini! The ambiance is also publiscious, but each room holds a different vibe. The main bar is just the right blend of lighting, music, and old-world pub decor. LoVe It,... but don't go,because... AgAin....I want to keep it all to my dirty martini self.

    Fizz is... ok. Really, that's the only thing I can say. The food is ok. The booze selection is ok. The service is ok. I have no complaints.... but I have no raves about the place either. There is nothing wrong with the place. If you're in the 'hood, it's a nice place to stop, but no, I won't be going out of my way for this place.

    I give Fizz a blended 4-star rating. Here's the breakdown: Outdoor beer garden: 5 stars Food: 3 stars Service: 1 star There were plenty of waitstaff on hand during Rock Around the Block but our waitress was channeling the Absent Minded Professor because she forgot our beers multiple times. You can forget the quesadillas and the chips and salsa but never forget to bring us the beers!

    Dan, thanks for all the free Newcastles and whiskeys (thanks Ted, Eric, and Missy as well) I enjoyed talking to you, the staff and the regs, which I'm sure are long gone by now. I'm certain I didn't help the image of the place anyway.

    Love the beer selection, love the outdoor patio in the summer, however, both times I've been there for food were both letdowns. I don't think they take much pride in their food, though, because it is what I would consider mediocre pub fare. I stopped in there last night and ordered a veggie burger. The three-week old bread that the microwaved burger was served on was so hard that I could literally knock on it. When I attempted to bring it to the bartenders attention that the food was inedible, it took about 10 minutes to do so. One of the servers, who had zero tables, noticed I was upset so she did as little as possible to get her co-workers attention as he was standing on the other side of the bar talking with friends. When the bartender finally made his way down to check on the food, he presented horrible customer service by acting so nonchalantly about the situation. I was under the impression these people were getting paid to take care of customers, but I guess not. I doubt I'll be back.

    I went here on a Wednesday night to see The Comedians You Should Know Show. It was great. My bf and I got there a little early so we grabbed some drinks and sat at the bar. The bartender was nice and attentive. I don't drink beer, but they had buckets of PBR for $12 and Miller Lite for $15. It's a pretty big place considering they have a back patio and an upstairs (where the comedy show was held). I was very impressed with the show. The comedians were all very funny. I'll be going back in the near future to check out the show again, but next time I'll bring more people and check out the food too. This was my first time at Fizz, but I would recommend it to friends, especially to see the comedy show.

    Fizz's as become one of my new favorite places to go for something causal on a weeknight or a place to be on the weekends. I went to Fizz's for a beer tasting and it was a lot of fun and they staff were really nice as well. They had a special for a beer and burger for $6 and it was pretty tasty. I'd do it again! I was just there last night and the patio area was filled with people. It's a great place to just hang outside and enjoy a few beers. They also have some music going on inside with space to hit up a dance storm. There's an upstairs too which I haven't experience but I heard there's bands up there. I'd say Fizz's is a great neighborhood bar. I wish I lived closer to it but regardless, I'll be back!

    I never made it to the second floor or the beer garden of Fizz so I expect there may be a surprise updated review coming if it ever gets warm again. Like almost everything I review Fizz gets 4 stars. Until I can check out the beer garden because I like drinking outside. Also inside, underground, on planes, alone, with others, on the beach and after I've had a couple drinks. Food here is pretty decent if not quite like finding jesus. I like trying to talk people into getting fruity girlie drinks in hollowed out pineapples while I drink whatever hobo beer is the special.

    I live down the street from Fizz, and my parents happen to love their chicken tenders so I probably eat here around once a month. I definitely feel that Fizz is a better bar in the summer when the beer garden is open. It feels a little narrow and cramped during the winter months. The majority of the menu is delicious. The tempura battered chicken tenders are delicious. Seriously, I can't order any old chicken tender anymore! Fizz has totally set the bar for light, crispy, delicious chicken tenders. I also love their fried potato salad. It is a warm red potato salad in a tangy sauce. It is delicious and my absolute favorite side dish. I have tried their various pizzas, and they are decent. The mac 'n cheese is delicious. I'm not into different toppings on mac 'n cheese, but the onions and bacon on their version is pretty delish. The atmosphere is usually pretty relaxed during dinner time, but it can definitely get really crowded later in the evening. The indoor space isn't huge, so it can feel very congested very quickly. From my experience, I enjoy eating dinner at Fizz much more than a night out.

    Since I live in the neighborhood, I've been to Fizz a few times. It's best in the summer - their outdoor patio is to die for and if you're a smoker, you're in luck: you can still smoke outside. The actual bar itself is kind of icky inside - makes me feel dirty. And it's on the small side. Their food saves it though. It's shockingly really, really good. Of course, I had the pizza, which was impressive. I'm not going to go out of my way to say it was a culinary treasure, but the crust was really good, and so was the sauce, and it's better than most pizza joints in the Lincoln Roscoe area, including Frasca, yuck. And if you want to be adventurous, they've got a couple of yummy looking signature pizzas (I'm a traditional girl) that had a variety of different sauces, including BBQ and pesto. The 3 stars are for the inside of the bar. The bartenders are all EXCEPTIONALLY friendly and conversational, but they have really got to redecorate the place. Just my opinion.

    I've been to Fizz a bunch of times. They used to have a 1/2 price appetizer special. It was so nice because they had this steak and portabella w/ fried onion appetizer that I loved. And it was really delicious for bar food. I'm so sad the menu no longer includes that dish. Service is always pretty slow when I've been here and it's always been pretty dead. Good beer garden when it's nice out. I haven't been crazy about Fizz as a music venue.

    I used to come here a lot years ago. It has a really great patio and a nice sized room upstairs that you can rent out for things. However, last night I was there to see some djs and we received such horrible treatment that I will never return. The bartender was rude- I will leave it at that to be polite. They clearly wanted to shut down early even though there were over ten of us in the bar. They got the dj to stop- the bartender asked me to close my tab (uhm hello don't you WANT me to spend more money?). It was overall aweful and I feel bad because I took some friends that have lived in the neighborhood a decade but never gone there. Now none of us will return.

    I went to Fizz for the first time on Friday night and i came away very impressed. The atmosphere is ultra-cool with brick walls and dimish lighting. there is a great beer garden and an upstairs where live band s were playing. i like this setup because if one was in the mood more for talk, he didn't have to venture upstairs. But, sometimes a live band is exactly what i'm in the mood for so i couldn't go wrong here. Add to that that our waitress was beyond friendly and attentive and this makes for an excellent bar. Kudos!

  • Kara P.

    Great Chicago spot! I come here a lot but have found that Fizz is especially great on Fridays and Mondays. Fizz has much more to offer than your usual Lakeview bar. They have special events throughout the week including trivia in the bar and swing dancing upstairs. They have a great beer garden which they keep covered and heated in the summer and open and lively in the warmer months. The food and bar service is great and I've always had a great time sitting at the bar and eating/drinking with friends. Fizz always has drink or appetizer specials, even on busy nights like Friday and Saturday. The food is more interesting and tasty than your usual bar fare and the servers/bartenders are great and providing menu recommendations. Unlike most 'college' bars in the area, Fizz is lively but not annoying. The music is played at volume that allows you to chat with friends, and they often have live music/djs later in the night. They'll change any of the tvs for you upon request which I always appreciate. While I rarely sit at a table, I have found that service to be good as well. The best Fizz experience would be to go on a Friday night around 7pm, grab dinner at the bar and then stick around for the 9pm music!

    I came here with some friends for the "comedians you should know" show last Wednesday. There's about 15-20 amateur stand up comedians doing 5 minute sets which is just about the perfect amount of time. Most people can make at least one good joke in 5 minutes, but if it really sucks it's over before you know it. There was no cover the night that we went but they said that they're going to start charging from now on--however it seemed like there were plenty of 2 for 1 coupons to be found if you ask. The greeters were really nice and enthusiastic about the show and they got and gathered chairs to make sure everyone had a seat. The bartender actually knew how to make a gimlet and the drinks were really reasonably priced. I would have liked to try something to eat but waitresses upstairs (where the show was) seemed to be non-existent and the kitchen was closed by the time the show was over--which wasn't that late. Not a bad place, a bit more upscale than a regular neighborhood bar, but not fancy-shmancy at all. I would definitely go back and try one of their swing dancing nights or hang out in the beer garden I hear so much about.

  • Seabiscuit J.

    Ok, I love going to bars I haven't been to before and I was pretty dang happy with my experience at Fizz. We went on a lazy and very warm Sunday, so the patio was packed. The best part about going was that the beer specials were great. Even when they ran out of the beer on special, the alternatives were still friggin' cheap. The bartender and servers inside were hilarious and helpful. The only downside we saw was that it looked like the only way you could get a server to talk to you outside was if you ordered food. Otherwise, you had to trek it back to the inside bar for drinks. Still, all-in-all, I had fun and will definitely go back.

    Roommate and I went here last night with my favorite East Coast Neighbor to expand our ever-increasing repertoire of hot wings. And because East Coast Neighbor suggested it and his recommendations for greasy food that's bad for you are usually pretty dead-on. Thursday night is their wing night, and they hold the distinction of serving them in a BUCKET that you get to reach your entire arm into to look for the last wing, which is probably hidden in folds of sauce-laden wax paper that will transfer to your arm and probably your armPIT and THEN if you have had enough beers, you can try to LICK all that sauce off your arm and your friends will all find this hilarious. Anyway - wings are a tad dry in terms of the meat, and a lot dry in terms of the sauce. Maybe it says something about me that I like my wings swimming in a puddle, but I can't think of what that would be - other than that I like the sauce. But then again, East Coast Neighbor got BBQ wings because he is a va-jay-jay. Our waiter...seemed...new. And nervous. And I feel for him, waiting tables is a thankless, and often shitty job. But he seemed jittery and scared the whole time. Though he did jostle his tray and drop some drinks - on my roommate and East Coast Neighbor - which may have had something to do with it. Guinness was $3. Shots of Jameson were $4. Exterior is ADORABLE. Beer garden is HUGE and perfect on a nice night - shit, it has a FOUNTAIN. Yelp calls this place a dance club, and maybe since it was Thursday, they put the disco ball away? I didn't find it terribly dance-y. I DID find some broad in the beer garden, belting out Les Mis as though her life depended on it.

    I've been going to Fizz for many years, but usually only for the Monday night swing dancing. I've been to Fizz otherwise a handful of times. I can tell you that the Tiki night on Wednesday used to be great (I think that Eric the bartender is gone now, so it might not be as good anymore), and some of the food items are great. I love their grilled cheese, and on Monday nights you can get a great deal with a burger and a Blue Moon. Fun place, but it used to be a lot more fun before all my favorite bartenders left.

    Ok, this place blows. Not by intention but poor comunication and management. Having never stepped foot inside the bar until Tuesday night, first impressions are everything. So walk in around quarter to 7 and the place is quiet. I go to the bar and inquire about the Craft Beer Week special (supposed to be 8 oz. of beer matched with specially prepared sausage from 7 to 9 pm). Bartender is nice enough. He goes to ask someone else then comes back to tell me that the offer doesn't start until 8 or 8:15 or 8:30 as a ball team is coming in at 7. I really don't understand what one has to do with the other but I order a pint and grab a table. Others are supposed to meet me so I hang out and drink my pint. In the mean time I see plate after plate of sausage pieces delivered to other tables with what looks like about 2 oz beer samplers. I try to catch the attention of the waitress but she can't be bothered. Now I am hungry and pissed. I end up throwing down my pint and getting the freak out of there. First and last visit.

    I went to Fizz on a Wednesday night for the comedy show, which was actually pretty funny. About 7 or 8 local and drunk comedians each performed a 10 - 15 minute set. The show was supposed to start at 9, but didn't start till closer to 9:30. I wasn't terribly impressed by the margarita I ordered, which is a special on Tiki Wednesdays (along with a number of martinis, mojitos, and caiparinhas), but at least it was a large drink. I will definitely go back for the comedy night, which is $8 or FREE if you can find the event listing on craigslist a couple days in advance. It looks like it could be fun on a nice day too; the beer garden is huge. Unfortunately it was freezing when I went and no one was really there just to drink.

  • Jendy B.

    I hope I was there on a bad night. Fizz has the atmosphere to be a potentially fun time. Yet, a larger group of us went there on a Saturday night and weren't really impressed. Our service was super shoddy. The bartender didn't even bother to look up at us-- yes, he was avoiding us (and everyone else) because he was so swamped. I realize that this is not *his* problem. Management needs to be sure to have their bar well staffed. But, when a bartender is avoiding paying customers because he's too swamped, something has got to give. Unfortunately, it was us. I left. Bummer. I'd go back to check out their outdoor patio, though. Also, the women's restroom was having some flushing difficulties. (yuck!)

    Maybe it was just the night I was here but this place kicked ass. It's very big so getting to the bar or finding a place to sit it very easy. They had $4 stoli drinks and $7 watermelon martinis, both of which I appreciate. The coconut martini was phenom! I also sampled the Southwest BBQ pizza, very good (if you like grilled onion). Other people at the table were raving about the honey mustard coleslaw. I hate slaw so I didn't try it but they were chowing down on it. Later in the night they played top 40's and we danced... vigorously. We also closed and reopened our tabs about 3 times and the bartenders were very patient and nice. I didn't explore the upstairs but I will definitely come back!

    I'm a little disappointed that I actually have to give this place a star. Went in last night and the service was terrible. We paid with our credit card and left part of the tip on the card and were going to leave cash for the remainder. Before we even left, the waitress took the book snd confronted us about the tip on the card!!! I have waited tables for many many years and would never question a tip! Not to mention we had not left, and were planning on putting cash in the book! Couldn't have felt more rushed or insulted! The manager could have cared less that we were treated so rudely.

    I love coming here for Swing Dancing Monday nights. Although last night, I sat at the bar downstairs before hand and had a drink and a $1 personal pizza! HOLLA! The bartender upstairs on Mondays is the coolest and its really great that they provide a venue like this for swing dancers. I do wish their cocktails were cheaper, but I'm still thankful that this place exists. From the looks of the other food coming out of the kitchen, they look like they have pretty good bar food.

    My post somehow disappeared, so I decided to re-post it. (Sept 2010) I had a party at Fizz and had the most terrible experience! I sent this letter to management and they didn't even write me back! The management staff at Fizz needs to go back to hospitality school. I would not recommend this bar for anyone; especially for people who are looking to have a party. Dear Dan- As a frequent patron of Fizz, I can only say that the service and treatment I received last night was despicable, distasteful and left an impression that won't soon be forgotten. Not one person who attended my party will ever be back. When I arranged the party our email exchange clearly stated that Miller and Bud Lite products were included in the package, as well as two draft beers of my choice. Upon my arrival, I was informed that the only beers available for our consumption were 312 and Green Line. I approached the manager in an attempt to correct this, only to engage in an entirely foul and disrespectful verbal altercation at their prompting. The manager questioned our arrangement, necessitating that I show him our email exchange and even took my phone to go show someone else. I didn't appreciate that I had to begin my night arguing when I was under the impression that our package had been clearly set. I am confused as to why not one, but two people were unclear about your own party packages. Not to mention, I was flat out lied to about the bar being "out" of the Miller/Bud drafts until I insisted we were provided with bottles then instead. The cheapest beer there, yet we were not allowed to have it since it was not stated in the party package - IT WAS. Furthermore, the guests in my party were told in order to join me outside, they HAD to buy a wristband. I was under the impression that I was responsible for at least 15 people purchasing the package in order to avoid a credit card fee, but was not told EVERY PERSON had to purchase one. This also was clearly stated between us as I said "I know I will have at least 25 people coming, but cannot guarantee everyone will want the wristband." Never once was I told that that wasn't okay. It really put a damper on the event when my grandparents and others who were NOT DRINKING and clearly stated that, still had to pay $30 to say goodbye to me. Since I'm leaving Chicago to attend graduate school, the party was intended to be a farewell, not an expense. If, in fact, that is the policy concerning access, I should've been made aware of this earlier. It was embarrassing and costly, literally. And, with the exception of our overworked server, the reception we received from numerous bartenders was appalling. Having worked in the service industry, I am extremely sympathetic to those who have to attend to the desires of numerous clients. However, the attitudes and attention we were given was extremely lacking and several bartenders were unabashed in hiding their frustration. One slammed a drink at the bar so hard it splashed onto my mother, while another refused to even take our order after having to go through the whole Bud Light/Miller Lite fiasco again. Overall the night was beyond disappointing. I find it a blessing that I have friends and family who were willing to work with me given the circumstances, and felt it necessary to let you know you have lost an entire group of 30+ people born and raised Chicagoans who have lived in the neighborhood their entire lives but will never be your customers again.

    This place just lost the best waitress, Leslie. She will be missed. Notwithstanding that, Fizz isn't what it used to be. They are clearly beginning to cater to the overflow from that paragon of culture known as Bellys (BOO). I still like the mini burgers, though!

    Updated review. I moved into the immediate vicinity of Fizz in March. Lucky coincidence. Fizz is an awesome place to start out your night out. First, the food is absolutely amazing. The quesadillas are a sure bet - great tasting, and the spinach & red pepper were only $6! The spinach artichoke dip is the best I've ever had, hands down, $8. Their pizzas are reasonably priced as well. The drinks are decently-priced (not Pulaski, not Rush) and they have a good variety. I like their beer selection, PBR being $3 ($2.50 on Fridays) on up to the more expensive micro brews, like Rouge Dead Guy for $5. The best thing about Fizz is the outdoor area. Regardless of whether you smoke or not, the beergarden is huge and nice. They also have bags set up sometimes, along with a TV, couches and darts. The people that work here and their friends seem pretty cool. The average clientele of this bar on the weekends borders on the "bro" types, so I like to get in early and then head to Delilah's, the L&L, or somewhere similar.

    Fizz is my favorite neighborhood bar/restaurant. The beer offerings are legit, but the food! Oh my god! The food! The fried potato salad is seriously addictive, and I don't even like potatoes. And don't get me started on the grilled cheese. The bread is thick and grilled to perfection. Layers of high-quality cheese ooze out from the middle. It is a 3'' tall stack of goodness.

    I came here for a birthday party the other night and was pleasantly surprised that this place was not that lame. It actually had an awesome beer garden, great bartenders and a pretty cool clientele. The food that was being brought out also looked decent and I will for sure be back if I'm in the neighborhood. This place seems like a huge breath of fresh air for this neighborhood. Oh, and great margaritas.

    Went to a sketch comedy show here, and it was very fun. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the show was extremely funny. The area was a little hard to find parking, thats why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, other than that the place itself was great.

    Fizz has all that one could reasonably look for in a city bar. Their beer garden is really nice and very large. Inside, two floors of boozing... Yowza! The bottom floor is pretty typical of most bars, but props on the decor. The play-list always seems to be really good the times I've been there, I think I counted 8 songs in a row that are on my iPod. I've only been upstairs a few times, but they have a nice variety of live music, comedy and other acts if you feel the need to be entertained by something other than drunken bar-goers.

    Great beergarden on the side of the restaurant. It's basically tables placed in between two buildings. But nonetheless, a nice big, open space. nice for a summer night. Went here on a Sunday night cause me and friends found a daily special for $1 mini burger, $10 bucket of ribs, $5 pitcher. The mini burger was there, but no ribs or the pitcher! They do have a fun little thing called $2 mystery beer. You order it, and they bring out whatever bottled beer to you. We all got lucky and got "unique" beers - Amstel, Berry Weiss, and some Scottish ale. But the second round was coors light.. so maybe that's how they do it? They seem to have good daily deals every night. Place was pretty empty, which I actually enjoyed.

    I've been here a couple of times and will start off by saying that I didn't drink or have any main course selections...only came back 4 the spinach dip...so far its the best I have ever had (& I didn't even like it until I ate it from this place)

    I wound up here Monday evening because - you might want to go into the 'Talk' rubric to see the thread I began about a cat - and mom was too distraught to want to make anything for dinner. There are a number of seemingly good taverns at the Belmont | Ashland | Lincoln intersection. Fizz is apparently aiming for the mid-range: i.e.: not a complete dive bar, but not something hoity-toity either. I was only on the first floor. Fizz has specials every night of the week. On Mondays, the deals are the pizza buffet from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm, and the "burger & a pint" for $6.00 deal all evening. The "pint" selections [16 oz.] are Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Blue Moon, and Miller Lite. Fizz has other good selections on draft. They include Magic Hat's #9 lager [$6.00], Harpoon I.P.A. [$6.00], & Rogue Dead Guy Ale [$6.00]. The cheeseburger was good. You get french fries with it. Those seemed to be institutional, but they were good. The venue has lots of TVs, and DirecTV dbs, but I couldn't tell if it had any premium subscriptions. It _shall_ try to find an event on a cable | satellite channel if you have a good idea on which channel it is. The venue itself looks as though it has been a tavern since the mid-1930s. I have read through other reviews, and I respectfully offer that I had no delays or snags with the barstaff this night. This venue would get a 3 1/2 star rating if I could give it. I will not give it the fourth star because, as you might have inferred from above, I thought its prices were a little above average. But you could give here a try. Ask what are its beer specials for that evening, and drink accordingly. Transit options: This is a breeze compared with some of the other venues I have reviewed. The #77 Belmont runs 24 hours a day in both directions through this intersection. The #9 Ashland runs southbound from here until 1:48 am. (The last buses run all the way through to the 95th & State Red Line "L" station!) The #X9 Ashland express runs from the Sheridan Red Line "L" station until 8:34 pm on weekdays. The #11 Lincoln | Sedgwick route runs only until 8:40 pm on weekdays & Saturdays, and 6:50 pm on Sundays.

    While we may have had the completely inane, icky and collegiate/yuppified St. Alfonsas(sp?) Dorktoberfest (held in September) to serve as the warm up to this next chapter of falling short of the mark, my friend's Brian, his wife Krista and I entered Fizz shortly after vetoing three (likely tastier) possibilities as we walked north up Lincoln Avenue, losing nearly every ounce of our ability to continue the evening on the way. Right away I noticed a lack of patronage. This being a Saturday night at 9pm there should have been way more people there. That said, we continued to sit at a bar table and were promptly attended to by a (what we refered to as a barely doable blonde...)nondescript waitress. We ordered two beeer's and a water. To my amazement they all came in plastic cup's. I thought we had left the Dorktoberfest two block's south of us...apparently I was wrong! The three mini-bun pulled pork sandwiches on an otherwise vacant plate (ever heard of garnish?)were dry but served as some semblance of sustenance, thank God! Next came the proto-burger(not really a burger just the predecessor to one. At least it was warm unlike the french fries. I split half of MissK's or C's (depending on how well you know her) chicken pesto sandwich. It was just OK. Seriously dry and needed more pesto and something other than bun, pesto and chicken breast on it...(ie: pesto mayo, mayo, cheese, greens...you get the idea...) The music which was typically not nearly loud enough was in fact, fortunately, adequately soft as it was the most offensive retro R&B/Pop/Crap ever! I mean EVER! Michael Jackson from Off the wall and Tears for Fears singing Shout...ouch...this only served to make thing's far less palatable than they already were! We had to wait and wait and wait and wait some more for the check which never came, so we opted to do the math on the menu items and leave cash on the table. We were confident that we left more than adequate moolah for this plethora of pain! We hightailed it out of there for greener pastures and a fresh bottle of wine, heading Eastbound toward the lake down Belmont. The only saving grace is that the sweet, unburned, orange, table candle that I jacked look's great next to my bed, throwing a oh so sexy mood lighting to an otherwise bland bedroom., as Krista said, "D.P. everyone deserves good lighting".

    Fizz has a great beer selection and the bartender was very friendly and helpful. It also has a copper-topped bar which my friends that I was with were very impressed by. My only complaints are that the rooftop patio/deck is closed for the season even though it was really warm and that the band was so loud, it made conversation difficult. Overall, Fizz was a chill place to spend a Friday night in Lakeview. I want to go back when the roof is open and try it then.

  • Justine S.

    This is an overall really good bar with a huge patio space. For food I've had their pesto pizza which was good and their chicken fingers that were really good (tempura batter, yum). My husband has had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was good but huuuge and the chili nachos which were also huge (trend for my husband?) and good, but could have used some cheese on the lower chips of the pile. They also have a free Trivia night on Thursdays, which is a lot of fun, but it does take forever.

    I gave $100 deposit over a month ago for a private party. I had over 30 guests coming to a graduation party. I ordered the food in advance and called the week before to confirm. I wanted a indoor room where the small kids (and I double confirmed that the kids could come) could run around and not bother other patrons. When I arrived the staff was not even aware of the party. They put us in a corner outside with all the other patrons. When I asked what the $100 I gave them was for they said it was just to hold my reservation and that the money would go toward the food. I had asked specifically when making the reservation that the drinks all be cash bar pay as you go. They didn't want that, and wanted to put it all on one bill. It took several conversations for them to change there minds (after confirming that it would be that way). I had booked the party from 5pm-10pm and at 8pm I was told they had another party and even though my party was still buying drinks they wanted us to leave so they could have room for the other party. After I told them no we were not leaving they put the other party inside (I heard the woman who booked the other party going on and on about how she booked this months ago) Then again at 8:30 they asked us to move over cause they booked ANOTHER party and needed the room. Now mind you they have this huge upstairs that they didn't open (the room I thought I was booking to begin with but was told it was not air conditioned that day so it was hot and they wouldn't have anyone up there). So we moved over. Then at 10:30 they moved my group inside cause they booked ANOTHER party for that area. Keep in mind these are not PRIVATE parties. They are just tables and chairs in the common area. The waitstaff was very friendly, but the management has no concept of customer service. The staff made the afternoon very pleasurable but I would never book a party there again.

    Fizz is just a good all around bar, especially when the relenting Chicago winter gives us all a break and you can actually sit outside. Tack on to that an always friendly staff and some nice specials ($2 mystery beers can't be beat, especially when you're the one that ends up with the oatmeal stout) and you're in business. Also, the few times I've had food here, its been a step above the usual bar fare. GO, drink, enjoy.

    I went here with my euchre club to drink and play cards for 3-4 hours on a Wednesday. The place was really low key, ambiance was cool, and the seats were comfy. Some Kahlua promoters were there so I played some Wii bowling and won a shaker. There was supposedly comedy upstairs at 9pm, but I didn't venture that far. The mojito was okay considering that I'm not really interested in minty cocktails. However, my preferred Guinness rather jacked up my bill. I'd give this place one more go-around if there were a night with specials that catered more to my taste. I usually hike my tush around this city, but there is free parking in the library lot after 6pm or so they say.

    Megan S. has it completely right. The owner/manager/bouncer....whoever it is, is quite the toolbag. I live in the neighborhood, so I've been to this place a couple of times. I refuse to ever go back. This guy gives people a hard time every time they're standing outside of the bar and smoking/socializing/whatever. Many of my friends have quit going here because of his dickish behavior alone. Theres way to many bars in lakeview to give a fiddler's fart about a place like this.

  • Leang E.

    The place is laid out kind of strangely to me. It was weird that the beer garden was literally right next door as opposed to the back. I went here for the first time yesterday, and it felt like the police patrol were guarding the beer garden. I was going to walk right outside because I saw my friends, but the hostess and a couple other girls made me feel like I couldn't go out there since there was a party being hosted outside. I think she was freaking out on the account that there might have been some sort of special or something going on with the party and didn't want me to sneak in. My friend had to wave me in practically for them to realize that I was meeting up with friends that were not part of the party going on. I had just a beer, but the waitress was sort of defensive or something. The crowd was slightly annoying, high pitched girlie shrills (sorry kind of hurts my ears), slightly older crowd, and lots of couples. It has 2 floors, and I hear that they use the upstairs to teach swing dancing or something like that. I wouldn't mind taking dancing lessons there, but not my first choice in bars to go to.

    Big place that doesn't usually get that crowded. Usually a place to sit. Food is fairly good. Waitstaff can be inattentive. Nice, big beer garden is the reason to go when the weather is nice. I hear the upstairs can be cool some nights, but I've never been.

    Fizz has a great patio to sit outside during the summer. The food is good, they have lots of drink specials during the week, and the service is good. The few times I've been here I've had some really great waitresses and bartenders, which definitely made me like this place a lot more.

    I like coming here on Mondays-- for their special, $5 Black and Blue special. You get a pint of Blue Moon beer (Yum!) and a Black Angus burger all for $5! How awesome is that!? Service is good, and I believe they have dancing upstairs on the weekends.

    Fizz is a great place to go with a group of friends. It has a large menu and definitely is not pricey. They also have daily food and drink specials-1/2 priced wine bottles on Tuesday, and $5 pizza on Wednesday! I enjoy sitting outside and having a few drinks in the beer garden. Check this place out!

    Came here to watch basketball with friends, is a nice bar. The drinks are reasonable and the staff were nice. My fiancé lost his phone in the bar and when we went back to look for it, someone actually turned it in. I think that says a lot about the bar and the kind of customers it draws. I will recommend to any one looking for a chill place to hangout.

  • Rachel K.

    The beer garden/patio at Fizz is great. It's large with plenty of seating and did not seem difficult to get a spot on a Saturday night, thought this could have been due to the extreme heat on the particular August night I was there. I was only there for drinks so I cannot comment on the food - I was disappointed with my margarita, which was advertised as being made with fresh lime juice and I watched the bartender pour flourescent green mix in to it, making it very sweet. They have a great selection of beers and the best cider - Strongbow. The bad part of the night occurred when the patio closed and we had to go inside. The music was so loud it was impossible to hear even your own voice. Given that it is a pub/bar, not a dance club, it is unnecessary to have the music at that volume. I was there with a huge group of people and most of us left, many to go to other bars where we could carry on conversations. I would definitely return to sit outside during the summer and have a cider, and as long as the music stays that loud, I would leave when it closes.

    I'm giving Fizz three stars because I really like the beer garden. If you are looking for a place to hang out with friends, have a drink or two while playing bags, then this is a great place to go. No doubt. However, if you are hungry, do not eat here. How can someone mess up a grilled cheese? Well, they managed to do so. The grilled cheese was burnt and not suited to even feed my dog.

  • Mike H.

    A couple of friends tried to drag me to the Pontiac (which I fucking hate) with the excuse that they "wanted to eat outside" and I suggested here instead. It runs rings around that other place, but it's slightly more manicured and Lincoln Park than i normally like. Food was okay. Drinks were okay. Clientele was a mixture of drunken sluts and families with little kids. I'll probably never be back, but that's not to say this place isn't for you. Just not for me.

    while the food at fizz was decent and the wait staff were attentive (on sat, oct 18th- 8-11pm), the owner that evening (a woman with short hair) was offputting and an outright repellent. i had scheduled a get-together there on saturday nite. i spoke and met with a dan who said he was the owner of the bar a week prior and set up a $30 per person drink special. there was a breakdown/ mix-up/ misunderstanding of what dan told me was included in that price and what the woman owner that night said was included. it really was not a big deal... most of the guests bought the pkg anyway. but it was the way the woman owner conveyed the misunderstanding. it is almost as if she has never worked with the public before. that or she views every single patron of this bar as a pain and a moron, and it is up to her to quash any flow to the evening or opinion that is not in line with hers. someone brought in his 6# maltese, and the dog was passed around from 1 person's arm to another. you know, ooohing and aaahing. along came the owner woman who basically threw out the dog. most reactions are favorable when asked in the right way. THIS OWNER WOMAN DOES NOT HAVE CLUE ONE. most of my guests were 1st timers to fizz and have voiced vows of never returning. i recommend trying bungalow, pony, belly's, finley dunne's or waterhouse instead + lots of other restaurants located in the immediate area.

    Fizz is a pretty big place. There's an upstairs where they host concerts and events, a main floor bar / seating area, and a rather large outdoor patio complete with rear gaming area (big Jenga, darts, ping pong or something else, can't remember). We stopped by recently for dinner and sat outside. We both ordered burgers, and I had the turkey burger with sauteed spinach and swiss on brioche bun. The warm potato salad was delicious. I've never had that before, but it was very tasty - warm, crispy potatoes in some kind of southwest mayo sauce + some small chopped veg. Yummmm. Service was a little pokey, but the food and the patio was great.

    New ownership again, and so far, it's not for the best. They have gotten rid of their POS system and replaced with an old school cash register, eliminated all the food specials from the menu, and gotten rid of the Gumballhead on tap. Not good, but the beer garden is still tops in the neighborhood.

    Rad restaurant and bar with music venue/rental space upstairs! First off the food was great, it helped that one of the waiters was vegan so he could give me the ultimate tip! I ended up having a house salad in a wrap and I added some portabello mushroom.. it was fantastic and big and came with house made chips! The servers/bartenders were great downstairs and it would be a fun place to watch a game cause there are lots of tvs, lots of drink, and food options, and a good space! Now for the upstairs, I could see people having wedding here! But tonight it was a rock n roll club, they do shows put on the guys at MP Shows which are great to work with and total pro's. Andy who rad sound was incredible did a great job! The space is big and beautiful with nice hard wood floors for dancing! The stage is big, and even has a screen tucked behind the curtain for visuals, perfect for the baby photos at a wedding or a band that plays with video! If I lived in Chicago, I would keep my eye on the schedrule to this place cause it was a really fun vibe and good place to go watch a show!

    Wow certainly the wrong time to turnover your management. Came here for a friend's 30th BDay party. Upon arrival the two barkeeps informed us that the person who agreed to the wristband terms was fired recently and wasn't going to honor the deal. After some negotiating they finally agreed to the plan. After that execution was completely horrible for all those involved. The bar keeps were overwhelmed, extremely slow in service, and gave me four pours of neat whiskey for free which was not included in the deal. It would've only be cool if they did it on purpose, but upon further questioning, they told us that it was included in the deal ( when it shouldn't have been) This place NEEDS bar rescue like an albino needs sunscreen.

    Somewhere in the north side of Chicago lies a place where all swing dancers come. I had the opportunity to attend one of the swinging Monday's. First floor is the main bar where they have food and drinks. Order the Korean tacos, nice twist of fusion. This is a weekly event hosted upstairs of a bar. The crowd here is pretty mixed from 20s to 40s. Most of the locals are pretty laid back and very approachable. They even welcomed me with a lindy circle which was more then generous welcoming to any visitor. Although it felt like I did an improv showcase. Interior of this spot is mostly bricked walls with hard wooden floors. A stage lies at the end where the dj is jamming out some cool tunes. Overall it was a great night and quite enjoyed my visit to the swing dance community in Chi-town. Will see you again on my next visit and to the pretty girl that danced with me, thank you.

    The patio takes this bar from one star to two but there's no way to overcome the unfriendly staff and technology issues. A nice sized bar with a large, amazing patio should have more than one credit card machine. Service is extremely slow and the bartenders and servers are mostly unfriendly. My sisters and I got yelled at for being too loud in the bathroom - so weird. I've been brought here twice in the past two months and really hope I do not have to go back. I think others feel the same way and that's why it hasn't been busy the two beautiful nights I've been there. Go south to Belmont Ave if you're looking for good, efficient service.

    This place has a great outdoor beer garden. Service was consistently good all night. Drinks were great (I am a big fan of the cucumber mule). I wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was, but I split a BBQ chicken pizza with a friend and it was great. I'd definitely go back here.

    Let's all take a few minutes of silence in memorium of Township. ...ready? OK. For those of you new in town, Fizz has reached out and grabbed hands with the bookers (MP3) of some of the most fun, roucous and crazy small label bands to come through Chicago. Very smart (or extremely stupid plan) on the part of Fizz. So why does this matter? Because Fizz might become a very different bar this year than it was a year ago. The first floor is your standard neighborhood Chicago bar. Nice woodwork, a dozen or so tables to sit at and a menu of decent, but not amazing pub grub. Good weekday specials, if you check their site. Then the music venue stairs split off like Sub T - but with less air circulation. The sound is great, the space even seems a little bigger than Township. My only gripe is that the bars took FOREVER to get service. I know it was a sold out show, but their weekends could use a speed bartender or two bartenders upstairs.

    We spent 8 hours at this bar on the Saturday of St. Patrick's Day weekend this year and it was awesome! They had a mega deal for the holiday: $30 wristband for any drink but shots for 3 hours.... and we were double-fisting! They even poured me strong Long Islands. Legitimate. Also, their food is divine. Gourmet chili nachos, saucy pizza, bold wings, and zesty quesadillas. Everything they brought out of that kitchen was perfect and we tried one of everything! And it wasn't overcrowded, loved it!

    Not sure what happened to this place. I've come here a few times on Saturday nights - it's usually a great spot for drinks, fun music, and even a little dancing. Came here last weekend and was sorely disappointed. Music was muffled/barely on in the background and some TVs had their audio playing. I get it - it's playoff season for Chicago sports, but make a choice - music or TVs. If you were doing one, you at least would please one crowd instead of half-heartedly (or mistakenly) doing both and pleasing no one. Service was terrible. While two bartenders can manage some busy bars, the two working this Saturday night were not those kind of bartenders. They were slow, not trying to hurry/hustle. They also were not taking people at the bar in the order they've been sitting/waiting. I was thankful I had a wristband deal because their credit card/tab system looked like an absolute disorganized mess! I learned management recently changed and, while that usually means some bad was expunged from the establishment, it seems some bad (or very inexperienced) still remains. I hope this place gets their act together and returns to some of its former glory - it's a good pace in a nice location. If they continue as they did last weekend, they won't be frequented much again.

    Fizz is the Shizz. A group of friends and I spent St. Patricks Day (Saturday) there for 6 hours and had a blast. The beer selection was awesome with one of my favorites on tap, GumballHead. We had a wristband deal and the bartenders were great about keeping up with the masses of people and drink orders. Then came the food! From nachos to pizza and everything in between. I couldn't keep my fingers out of all the food swirling around our table. Nice layout, cool patio, good selection and food. Could work on the bathrooms but I don't really care that much.

    I don't make it a point to write reviews often but I just have to for Fizz. My boyfriend and I hosted our birthday get together in the beer garden last night and everything was beyond perfect. We definitely aren't regulars but make it a point to visit fizz a frequently in the summer because the patio is great. They reserved a bigger than necessary section for us and the owner made sure it was where we wanted to be. Our friends had a great time playing jenga and table tennis! Def something different than just sitting around and drinking. However, the best part was the service. I highly recommend asking for Laura! She was our waitress and is soo attentive and also very patient. We opted to open multiple tabs instead of one and she never once complained. I can't say enough good things about Fizz and we will be back soon.

    I like this place a lot. It might even be worth five stars, but I have a seemingly unconquerable bias against very big bars. That's unfair, and I am conceding that it's unfair. But I cannot help myself. The bartender was friendly, and way more knowledgeable than the kind of bartenders you usually find at these places (you know, the kind whose only skill is being attractive). The space was clean and it was easy to move around. There's an awesome outdoor space with lots of tables. We saw an AC/DC cover band play upstairs and they were pretty fun. All in all, I had some good beers, saw a good band, lounged comfortably, and never felt like I was inconveniencing or being inconvenienced. Good times. N.B. They say the buffalo wings are "award-winning," and perhaps that is true in the literal sense, but they built my hopes up a little too much. Don't get me wrong; they were very good wings, but I am willing to travel across the city for the right wings, and these were not them. A couple of my friends ordered other stuff, and they were happy with it, so don't shy away from the food. It's better than I would expect. Prices are standard for this area. You're looking at $4-6 for a beer.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and call Fizz the most underrated bar in Lakeview. It's been a staple for years and is perfect for a lot of things. For one, it has one the best patio around. Big. Ping pong. Outdoor bar. Music. The works. Next, it has a fantastic space upstairs with plenty of room for a private event or one of Fizz's own events. Add to that a terrific draft list, homemade thin crust pizza, drink specials, games and a great staff....it's my new go to spot in Lakeview.

  • Kristine C.

    Fine by me! Used to frequent the place a lot, then our meetings moved to a different location. But we are back now! We really enjoy their beer selection. It was really great a few years ago, the past week we went we felt the list a bit weak, but may it just the time of year. Time to stock up on new brews! They did have the Root Beer, so good, just be careful with this 10% brew! The bar service on the Wed. we were there was not the best. Seemed partial to the men. When our meeting upstairs let out it seem non of us women could get a beer outta the bartender. We sent the men, and viola! Beers! Was she doing us a favor? Or just liked men better? We will never know.

    Typical bar with average food and low quality cocktails. It has a nice, neighborhood vibe and outdoor seating, but I'd only go there for a beer. I know this is short, but I'd only be adding fluff if I typed anything else. It's just your average bar.

  • Emily J.

    The service is terrible, the food is sub par and the atmosphere doesn't have a lot going for it either. My running group used to come here pretty regularly on Monday nights after our run (don't worry, we clean up and change before we go out!). Instead of being happy to have a group of 5-8 customers on a Monday night, they always act like we are a huge burden on them or are inconveniencing them. We typically order burgers and beers, we are not fancy or demanding people. Eventually I led the charge to stop going here. My burger would continually come out not cooked the way I asked and the food was never really good to begin with. We started going to other nearby bars (The Pony Inn, Flagship, Northdown, etc) and the staff there is actually friendly and excited to have a group come in on a Monday night. I would absolutely never choose to go to Fizz. There is a better beer selection and way better food at basically all the neighborhood bars around them.

    It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon. My wife and I were in the mood for a good pizza near the house. Fizz is the choice of course. Great thin crust with lots of topping choices. Beer selection is great too.

  • Girard S.

    The people here have a lot of trouble following directions. I ordered a burger a couple weeks ago, and although I ordered it medium-rare, it came out medium-well. Tonight, I ordered the Maytag Blue Burger. It comes with blue cheese. I asked the lady who took my order if I could substitute the blue cheese for cheddar, as I'm allergic to blue. She was totally fine with that. I checked with her twice, and she confirmed twice that I would be getting cheddar. When I picked up the burger, it had blue cheese on it. This sucked, because I couldn't eat it. The soup that came with it tasted like someone accidentally poured a bag of salt into it too. Meh food + bad service

    Fizz has a cool outdoor area.. But some of the most rude employees. Bartenders, waitresses and whoever was managing tonight were rude as could be.

  • Daniel L.

    The new owner is just a complete a-hole. He was clearly uninterested in my friends and I being there and told us as much. He doesnt know for to work the equipment in his bar and doesnt mind telling customers off. I used to really enjoy coming here but I will never give them another dime.

  • Aaron Jae M.

    It was a little bit cold but the bar was packed so we decided to hang outside anyways. It had drizzled that night so we all stood but the outside area was still quite nice. It's very open and has a lot of seating and tables. Their beer selection is quite good and probably the main reason for the 4/5 star review. Service was pretty quick but on a busy night you can't expect anything more than speed and functionality.

    Trivia Thursday. I wanted to like this place more, but I didn't on this trip. Ordered some food that was pretty good. Burger and fries are what you would expect from a pub. I ordered three different beers that the waitress later told me they were out of. I felt like she should have written down the beers they were out of after two times. Eh, it's ok, there were plenty of options. Nice selection actually! The trivia was pretty good, and the place was pretty full for the day after Christmas. When we got our bill it was all hand written and didn't make a bit of sense. Our rounded bill didn't have any breakdowns and we had 8 people. So, you can imagine it took us a while. It was an okay experience. The company made it a good time. I could see myself coming back here, but keeping a tab at the bar and picking out 3 or 4 options for beers to be safe.

  • Brianna E.

    I've been here a few times and really like it a lot. They have the BEST trivia here on Thursday nights (Geeks Who Drink). They have it in Austin so I was already familiar with it. Unfortunately, it's new and hasn't really caught on here in Chicago so it's still not well attended. They have a solid beer list without risking beer snobbery, decent prices, and decent specials. The food is standard bar fare, but is also pretty good. The location is also incredibly convenient if you're a CTA cat.

    I was totally hammered when I was here after Oktoberfest on a Saturday. Here is what I remember. Outdoor patio had nice comfy seats, almost like couches. The beer garden was really big and nice, great place to hang out on a warm night. They had bottles of hard cider on the menu and they were tasty. The fries were way too salty. I was brushing salt off of them with napkins. I would happily come back on a more sober night and give more food a try, but I'm giving those fries the side eye.

  • Jenn R.

    I like this place, I'd go back. My friend ordered this pizza with a bunch of cheeses on it, and at first we were skeptical but it was super good. I want to go back just for this pizza. We liked the decor and the place looked pretty big. Beer selection was good - we did get one round that tasted funky and it turned out the taps were new, but the bartender was cool about it. It was the Friday after Christmas, so the place was almost empty. But they still had the music up at what felt like full volume. Otherwise it was good. Service was friendly and I'd go back.

  • Jeremy C.

    I'll sum it up for everyone because a lot of the reviews here are right... 1) the beer garden is a big awesome space. It's a great place to kickback out there. I know it's heated but I haven't ventured out there in bad weather. BUT... service is REALLY slow when you're out there and it's busy. You're better off fighting for a beverage up at the bar. Or... Order 2 at a time. That's how I roll. 2) The upstairs.. Bye Bye Liver is a pretty awesome show. It's a great outing for a group of friends. It's a show that incorporates some drinking games. You'll enjoy it for what it is; fun. This is a fun spot all around.

    I came here to meet a friend for a quick dinner and a few drinks. He is a regular here and is close friends with the chef -- bonus! We came around 7pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty dead. Our bartender was the owner; he was really nice and made me some tasty beverages (when I didn't know what I wanted.) The chef came out and was talking to us for a bit, so I asked him what I should order. He recommended the pulled pork sandwich (and I added tater tots). This sandwich is massive. Seriously, they could simmer down on how much pork they put on it, because it was easily two meals! The flavor was really good and the pepper jack cheese added a little spice but not enough for me (if I want spicy, I expect *SPICY*). The bread was delicious and sturdy enough to hold the insane amount of toppings. I approve. The tots were super crispy and delicious! I definitely want to try other menu items, so if my friends want to drink here again, I will be sure to order some food. The patio looked nice, but it was raining while I was there, so I didn't make it outside.

    Had to change my review. With the change in management this place isn't near the same. Service is slow and none of the employees has any clue what was going on. We were told pitchers and buckets weren't available only to see others get them moments later. Food took forever and the quality wasn't the same. Won't be coming back anytime soon.

    I really like their beer garden! It's huge, and I would suggest sitting as far away from the outdoor bar as possible (the bar area is loud, crowded, and the lights are bright and make the whole area hot). The rest of the garden is filled with trees and shrubs, and even a waterfall. There are plenty of comfy couches to sit. The outdoor area closes at 12 on weekends, but we didn't have any trouble finding a table inside. The music was very loud inside though, it was hard to hear yourself think. The service was outstanding, and the drinks are reasonably priced. We had a groupon, so we got two beer flights (four 4 oz beers) and a yummy spinach artichoke appetizer. We also ordered multiple drinks afterwards, I really liked their pear cider (bottles). They have a nice selection of different beers on tap. I'll definitely be back again.

  • Natalia K.

    I've always liked this place. I used to do charity fundraising events in their space upstairs and they were always super accomodating. I like the long bar and their beer garden is key for Chicago summer nights. I came here recently on a groupon deal for flights of beer and pizza. I was surprised at their beer list and we happily went on a little beer adventure. Some were tasty, some not so much, but it was a nice variety and a perfect way to try something new. The pizza was good too- not great- but a good complement to the beer. I live nearby so it's always nice to have a neighborhood bar continue to be a good spot to haunt.

    Can't say enough good things about Fizz Chicago!! If you haven't been yet - get yourself there ASAP. We've been going here since the new management took over earlier this year. They have made huge improvements and it's a fun bar. The food is fantastic, the menu has a lot of options - creative, quality takes on bar food. The beer selection is solid and the bartenders make awesome drinks. The patio rocks - great seating options, TVs, bags and other games available. Very family friendly during the day for lunch or early dinner, but definitely a place to come back to after you drop the kids off with a babysitter. Lots of TVs to watch games, trivia nights are really fun. We've always had great service and really friendly/engaging wait staff every time we've been The party room upstairs is ideal - it's a great space, very clean, can have a small intimate group or a huge party and the space works perfectly for both. Put Fizz on your list and keep it there!

  • KC F.

    Really nice patio (it's HUGE & has tvs!) but kind of a dingy interior. The servers were not very friendly and super slow. Beer selection and food are average. If you're looking to hang out outside and watch a game- a solid, not-super-busy, choice.

    It's been a long while since I have been to this bar. Came here to see my cousin who was playing in their lounge. Didn't know they had an upstairs lounge which is actually quite spacious. My husband and I decided to grab a bite to eat before heading up. Get the chicken wings. They are actually quite meaty and pretty tasty. Sometimes at bars you get over priced wings without much meat. I can happily say that this it was better than expected.

    I've been to Fizz before and had a great time but I don't see myself ever going there again. Way to bite the hand that feeds you, Fizz Bar & Grill. You treated Prologue Theatre Company horribly last week! Let me know when your management gets their act together.

    If you are a performer in this city, and care at all about your fellow artists, please do NOT patronize this space in any way. Fizz's treatment of the audience/cast of Trafford Tanzi was shameful and inexcusable. I would give you zero stars if I could. facebook.com/DuelingCrit…

    I came here with a Livingsocial deal in hand - 1 medium pizza (2 toppings) and 2 beer flights for $19. We came for lunch on a Saturday and the place was pretty dead. We headed outside to the beer garden, and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. And it was huge. There had to be at least 20 tables out there. I imagine this is a great spot to be on a warm night. As for the service, it was OK. A lot of waiting though, as our server often disappeared for long periods of time. We actually had to track her down to get the bill so we could leave. Minue a star for this. The beer flights were fun and a great way to try different beers without committing to a whole glass. I think the flights are normally $11 each, and you get 4 mini glasses of draft beer. Don't worry though - they have some pretty great beers on draft. I can't remember everything I had, but I know I had 5 Rabbits and Daisy Cutter. On to the food. This is where I dropped another star. The medium pizza was enough for 2 people, but any type of flavor was lacking. Our toppings were mushroom and artichoke, but the pizza lacked flavor. A tray of red pepper flakes, pizza seasoning, and parmesan cheese came out with the pizza, and we needed to load up the seasonings to give the pizza some taste. The pizza was really thin too, a little thinner than I expected. I would love to head back for the swing dancing they have on Monday nights, so I think I'll just skip the pizza next time.

    Downstairs staff was great--attentive and helpful, though that might have been the fact that my friend and I had three back-to-back-to-back rounds of shots...nachos were delicious and recommended to me by one of the bartenders--great meat to chip to cheese to guac to pico ratio--but they were charging an $8 cover last night to see the band (dj?) upstairs, which I found ridiculous seeing as they didn't really have the luxury of having many patrons downstairs. Really dead for a Friday night at 12am. I don't need a crazy place, but it was really surprising. I did like the fireplace, though.

  • Marissa K.

    I head to Fizz every month or so to see a friend perform upstairs. It's a pretty intimate space to see live music--I'm always amazed at the amount of talent in this world! They have a good beer list and decent food options. I usually order the Fizz burger or a turkey burger with tater tots, and I'm never let down. Looking forward to enjoying the outdoor patio once winter decides to leave Chicago!

  • Roxanne R.

    I would've given this place a 5 but the service blows! I went on a perfect Chicago Friday evening for a party in the big beer garden but when I went back to the bar to get a drink it took almost 10 minutes!!! to get a pop. There were two bartenders but they were just slow as molasses. Also, my friend asked for an Absolute and Sprite and she got a Raspberry and sprite :-\ This could be a winner for an great evening outside in the city but you'll have to wait a while if you want a cocktail.

  • Aja G.

    Come and be overwhelmed by their beer garden and underwhelmed by their draft selection. I have been here a few times and their draft list has never featured any great wonders, but the selection is decent enough to keep you in your seat for a round or two. The food is decent-good. Do yourself a favor and skip the cheese curds--they are largely hollow and don't feature that oozing cheese that makes you excited to add your name to the heart transplant list. Their pizza, despite the high cost, are better than average bar pizza and is worth a try. They have some decent food specials, but like other reviews noted the service is so poor it makes frequenting his place hard to imagine. If you're going to eat sit inside so you can glare at your waitress in a vain effort to get her to come to your table or sit at the bar where the service is better ( though still not great). I also had the pleasure of going to the Bye Bye Liver show upstairs which was genuinely fun! Wait for the groupon because it isn't worth a full price ticket. Considering that you have to buy your own booze at full price, the sale helps cushion the beating your wallet will take. The show is short at about 90 mins and very Chicago specific. If you have friends from out of town skip the show because your guest won't get the majority of the jokes.

  • Jessica B.

    I went to Fizz with an expired Groupon and high hopes. I was sadly disappointed. The service was awful - our waitress did not smile once, and barely said 5 words. Lots of 'Ready?" and "More?' as she was motioning to water glasses and menus. The food sounded good, but was really bland... absolutely nothing was salted. The tempura chicken strips were ok, until they cooled off a bit, then they got extremely soggy. When the bill came it was wrong, which is totally OK and I understand happens, but the way she handled it was bad... storming off with the excuse "I never work Mondays", and complaining to her manager. Sorry to say I will never be going back!

  • Patty M.

    Went there for a beer flight and pizza, was pleasantly surprised at their well-rounded draft list (they had Yeti stout!). Did not experience the bad customer service I read all about. Our server Molly was very amiable and attentive. Pizza was mediocre, but the toppings appeared fresh. And I'm not sure about the "not good for kids" label for this place. I saw two families with kids that arrived for dinner. Sure, not the best place, but the seating area was quite relaxed and down tempo. Of course this was also a Monday night.

  • Damian C.

    Great patio.. ya know, minus the smoking section on the patio part. Yuck. Also, service is about as SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLOW as it would have taken me to type out each 'S' individually in the word 'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLOW' above. When it's 100 degrees out I want a cold drink, not constant apologies, about how it took you so long to come back to our table.

  • Victoria R.

    Went to Fizz last night with a Groupon for 4 beer flights and 2 pizzas. We found out upon arrival that it was trivia night. This resulted in some extremely slow service. I think it took at least 20 minutes for our drinks to come to the table. It would help if they had a few more TVs so at least we could have distracted ourselves. I also have only attended 1 or 2 trivia nights in my life, but I think the point is that they are actually supposed to be somewhat challenging? After two rounds our table hadn't missed a question, and we are not rocket scientists folks. We left at 'half time' because we just couldn't take it! Positive Notes: The pizza and beers were good. If you like spicy food then the Hot, Hotter, Hottest pizza was a solid choice I would recommend. The beer menu could be a little more extensive, particularly since they offer beer flights.

    (3)

  • Chelsey O.

    Cute name. Bad service = slow; food to the wrong table (twice); out of my beer of choice which was featured on their 'new' list. Veggie burger was ok for a frozen patty, but the bun was focaccia which totally didn't work with the toppings; side salad was pretty much just shredded lettuce with olive oil. And very wasteful - using disposable plates, cups, etc. for dining. Bathroom = dirty Outdoor space = very nice!
