Uncommon Ground

Uncommon Ground is calm and charming, the perfect respite from the crowded pubs and wall-to-wall TVs . Plus, you can order honest-to-goodness vegetables here.

Best Bloody Mary's ! They make their own pepper infused vodka which makes for a spicy , delicious beverage. They are organic and sustainable and offer some of the best breakfast food I've ever tasted.

one of chicago's ecofriendliest restaurants . try: organic Granola & Vanilla Yogurt Pancakes w/ sweet & tangy organic concord grape syrup & Sweet potato fries+goat cheese fondue are also very tasty!

Sustainable Egg Sliders !!! Hands down best thing in this world! Chilaquiles are always on the menu for a reason, get them!!!! Their bloody Mary's are amazing as well . Try their latte in a bowl :)

Amazing selection of craft brews combined with local fresh foods , friendly staff and a history of supporting arts and culture. What more is there to want?

Casual atmosphere , serious food and drinks. The burger rocked my world, and they list their beers by how many miles they had to travel to get to the restaurant from the brewery .

I love the food and the relaxed atmosphere here. Perfect place to meet a friend for brunch or a casual working meeting. Great service too.

I had the eggs benedict special with shrimp and bacon . It was amazing! I can't wait to go back and taste more of their dishes.

Great for live music , and the food is very good too! Try any of their salads , as well as their mac and cheese !

Sweet potato fries with goat cheese fondue are amazing. Excellent cocktails and sangria -- highly recommend the agripolitan.

We had the Brussels sprouts , drunken mussels , and chopped salad . All were excellent! Service was great too !

Adorable patio and awesome sweet potato fries . Great for vegetarians

Chopped salad with chicken was really good. Love that the food is organic , and our waiter was incredibly nice!

Great music every Whiskey Wednesday! Make sure to check out the new resident act each month. And did I mention only $6 for some great cocktails ??

I like the Sunrise Sammy, with crispy potatoes and bacon . Good coffee too, of course.

The chilaquiles are always great! Just be careful if you go during a Cubs game. Slow service and the kitchen got backed up. Food was 27+ minutes.

The "huevos " off the brunch menu is delicious! And it comes with spiced potatoes .

Really nice brunch menu and pretty good beer selection

Unwind by the warm fireplace or the spacious rooftop . Live music is big here; the late Jeff Buckley was a regular performer , and tribute concerts are still played in his honor. Read more

Pumpkin ravioli is the bomb as well as the pizza appetizer .

The Sidewalk Sazerack is very very strong, but good. The fried cheese curds were a little to fried and too little cheese curds . The sweet potato fries are pretty good though!

You simply MUST try the Duck Confit Hash ... Believe me, it's worth all of the calories. :)

The food is awesome and the music venue was a hidden gem !

Outstanding food and really great beer .

Everything is great. If you can't decide the chicken sandwich is an excellent fall back plan.

Pretty chill place, amazing specials any time I've been there! A little bit pricey , though.

Monday’s they have $4 drafts of the house beers ! Service is so so, but the beer was good!

Absolutely amazing restaurant w/a fabulous mission. Go on a Monday and you'll thank me for the awesome deal you get :)

Good for brunch . Chiliquiles are good. Got to sit by the fire place which was nice.

Egg whites + chicken sausage + substitute side salad for hash browns for the healthiest breakfast on the menu.

Cant remember the name there is a great beer there.

Sweet potato fries and goat cheese are amazing! Open mic night has had some great performances .

Here, black-bean cakes covered in melted Chihuahua cheese serve as the base of the dish for a memorable twist on the same ol’, same ol’ Read more

Tasty but kind of overpriced. Friendly staff , good cocktails , Right Bee Cider on tap!

$4 craft beer on Monday. Yes please. Also, cute atmosphere.

Sweet potato fries with fondu goat cheese is awesome!

Cute spot... Ok food. Maybe they're better as a brunch spot than dinner ? Nice outdoor patio .

The coffee is great, but the atmosphere is even better...very artsy , but not in a pretentious way.

Try the Fried Walleye - With an amazing pearl barley & Brussels sprouts underneath.

Mocha , crab cakes with chipotle cole slaw and the chopped salad were all phenomenal.

The mocha was served in a soup bowl . So good!

make sure to ask about their Benedict special if you're here for brunch !

Hot toddy is a Delicious way to thaw on a blustery April day...
