Not sure if the frozen margarita was the Mexican firing squad , but either way it was super yummy and strong! Had so much fun going to this cute bar with my friends
Get your fill of ribs , brisket , pulled pork , fried chicken , and other classics at Bub City. If that doesn’t suit you, try one of the many sandwiches , Texas hot link , shrimp po’ boy and lobster roll .
Taco Tuesday is when to come, braised pork tacos and a Back Porch Tea hits the spot! Also live band karaoke is all the rave on Tues nights.
If you like BBQ and country music definitely check it out! Ps don't be afraid of the ladies bathroom attendant
Bub City gives beef its much-deserved time in the spotlight with its zesty chipotle-brisket mac and cheese . Rich, creamy sauce is blended with a chipotle puree to give this mac an extra kick. Read more

BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich was delicious! Add the Memphis BBQ sauce for a touch of heat. If you saved any room for dessert , order the chocolate peanut butter pie , it's to die for!
Nachos with beef brisket , superb to share between 3-4 before getting into a tasty burger ????
Avoid the eight hour drive and Broadway Nashville hotel charges and visit Bub City instead. Enjoy the extensive whiskey selection , BBQ cuisine and Dixie soundtrack in the heart of River North.
Check out Bub City as it was featured on Bite This with Nadia G for Great American BBQ food! They make their own hot dogs for their own twist on the chicago dog Read more
Excellent bbq , whiskey , and beer . The bar plays country music & there are live shows often with some big name acts on occasion.
A hidden BBQ gem in the heart of the Chicago's River North neighborhood ! Their Nashville hot chicken was amazing!
Thursday night they have live music ! Make sure to get there early. The fried pickles are a great app, but everything on the menu is delicious!
You have to try the Giddy Up Fries (Waffle fries loaded up with bbq pulled pork , peppers , cheese )! :)
The hamburger is terrific. Shareably big. The smoke of the day drink which is always a surprise is a great cocktail .
Wednesdays are Whiskey Wednesdays - special on Whiskey tasting flights. The wings here are excellent.
Call ahead and make a reservation otherwise you may wait a long time. Great food and great music are why this restaurant is such a hot spot.
The menu here is simple and great. I would eat here all the time if I lived in chicago. The atmosphere is wonderful and staff great.
Had the breakfast taco - very good. My husband had the biscuits and gravy- huge biscuits - one would have been enough.
Atmosphere and drinks were outstanding. Great vibe. However, if your looking for great BBQ you can find better in the city .
Great music (very loud ) but loved it. Good service & good food/drinks. Awesome scotch collection!!
their chili is one of the best I've ever had! ask for jacque, natalie, or selina behind the bar !
Cool place for a beer and live music . Band was all country so most of the crowd didn't know the songs.
The Nashville hot chicken tenders are great! Awesome sauce and glaze.
The Mexican Firing Squad at Bub City is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more
Best fried chicken in town . Pretty good old fashioned, too, especially if you like them strong.
Great place for live music , 90% are good bands. Great whiskey drinks too
Seriously the best Bloody Mary Bar I have had in a long time. The bacon infused vodka was worth every penny!
Live music + moderately priced drinks = fun any night of the week!
Definitely make a reservation . Well worth wait. St. Louis ribs w/ KC Sweet Sauce finger lickin good!
Totally amazing. Green Line on tap , Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Enough for two.
Great food, atmosphere and live music ! Ladies be prepared for the surprise in the bathroom ! Lol
Excellent live music venue
Great BBQ rib tips ! And good American whiskey selection .
BBQ is amazing, drinks are strong, and a great happy hour
The ribs are good for not being made in Texas. Apps are plentiful. Lone Star beer . Do it!
Hot Nashville chicken sandwich hit the spot. Great atmosphere.
the 'north to alaska' is the BEST frozen whiskey drink I've ever had! ONE of them will set you straight!
$8 Buck Cluck! Try the Giddy Up Fries !
Karaoke with a live band ! (And backup singers , which you might need.)
Different $5 drink specials each night Sunday to Friday, 3 to 6pm.
Waffle fries appetizer . Waffle fries on the side. Did I say waffle fries ?
Great music , atmosphere, and service. Excellent whiskey selection .
Brussels sprouts taste better than the chips with egg , but they can't beat the presentation.
Highly recommend reservations !!! Waited 2hrs for a table... Other than that friendly staff and food is good.
Try a little bit of everything. Pulled chicken was awesome.
You have to get the giddy up fries ! Also their Tuesday karaoke nights are a blast!
As a native Texan the food was hard to match. Fried chicken was decent but the buttermilk takes it. Most other dishes are not close to anything Texan. BBQ is better than others in the city though.
I think my experience is all based on the server who we had who let the Hostesses yell at him and our guests.
One of the best old fashion's I have had in a while
This place was great! Drinks are a bit pricey but they are strong. Their peach Collins cocktail is delicious! - Tabatha Grover
Awesome tiki cocktails. The Cacchen Some Rays was interesting and featured cold brew coffee as an ingredient! Loved the glasses. - Sofia Papastamelos
The mole has an insane number of spices in it. You can't go wrong here. Guacamole 3 ways!!! We love you Chef Bayless. - Ryan Vaughan
