Been coming here close to 10 years. That alone should mean something...lol. Some of the best drinks ever at a reasonable price. They will fill the brim of your glass with all top shelf drinks .

Redeye Chicago

The stiff drinks cost less than the average cocktail shaken up by your ubiquitous vested River North micologist. Paired with the free popcorn in the early, Ceres offers some of the best value in town . Read more

If you don't feel like pancakes , try the Friday special, Deep Fried Halibut , for less than $10. Read more: http://www.cheapism.com/p/cheap-downtown-chicago-restaurants.mhtml#ixzz2kQcYsQXg

Have one drink and you'll be good. Have two and you'll be great. Have three and your pals are carrying you home. Would do it again though.

Order a rum and Diet Coke and you'll get just that: a glass of rum with a can of Diet Coke on the side. Read more

Brad Saxon

Most value added drinks in the loop. Ask for a whiskey coke and you'll get a glass of whiskey and a can of coke all for around $7.

Michael "NaS" Moody ????

Oh yeah...if you can't finish your drink, go into the kitchen and grab a coffee cup, pour it in the cup and they will allow you to leave discreetly of course. ;)

Melanie Youstra

you get a vodka and coke and they pretty much fill the glass with vodka then add a splash of coke ...for $5...probably the best deal in the loop!

Jon B.

An institution in the loop for happy hour . A little scratch goes a long way with the basic cocktails .

Tanya Flowers

The buffalo chicken wraps are to die for and the have a mean amaretto sour very inexpensive

Bill Peeler

This place is an institution for a reason. Just go and get your drink on ----

Terence Chan

Good drinks. Calamari and fresh chips with guac and salsa were quite good

XMNDA CHEEKS

Tilapia Tacos are AMAZING! (Oh and the drinks are ridiculously cheap for what is given.)

Amy Graff

There's a reason why this place has last call at 8. And it is because it will turn your life into a shit-show with one drink.

Jillian Burnickas

When you order a cocktail , you get a glass of alcohol . It's awesome.

Sophia D.

Order a Jack & coke and they'll bring you a glass filled to the brim w/ Jack $ a can of coke . Joy!

Jenn LeFlore

You have already been warned. Drink carefully and have a blast. It's Friday!!! (It's not? Why are u here????)

Mechelle Rayford

Never a bad time. Ever! Get there early!

Nidia A.

When you go to Ceres you go for the "mixed" drinks. Beer ? Go elsewhere. Straight alcohol is where it's at!

Had a yummy, comforting dinner after a long day of walking around the city. Shepard's pie, bread pudding, and a pint. I'd make a point to go back next time I'm in Chicago. - Rachel Whinnery
