Another River North Bar Bites The Dust: MARTINI PARK Closes

The current economy we are facing is tough on everyone.  People are losing their jobs everyday and businesses are closing up every day as well.  The River North Real estate and River North Condo market has also taken a big hit in this brutal economy and real estate market..

Bars and "Hot Spots" are not immune to the economy unfortunately.. Martini Park opened up in River North Chicago a few years back.. Specializing in Martinis and catering to the young, urban River North crowd. Martini Park was a huge hit the first 6 months it was open.. After that it trailed off a bit.. Well aparently is has closed.. I wasnt I huge fan of this place, the drinks were overpriced, the food sucked and it just felt like you were walking into a cookie cutter, "chain" type of establishment..

Martini park has/had a few other locations throughout the U.S, but I think they are closing as well.. For more info about the Martini Park closing, check out the story on Crains Business site

$3000 for a night a Cuvee...I don't think so

People who are in their late 20's and early 30's definetely remember the River North nightspot: Buzz
Buzz closed down almost 2 years ago and it has been replaced with Chicago's most Pretentious club call Cuvee

Rhino used to be the most pretentious spot in River North, now that honor goes to Cuvee.. Cuvee has been able to rake in several celebrity sightings and athlete sightings and they have definetely built their pretentiousness on this. I have been there once before for a bday party and wasn't to impressed.

The drinks are expensive and the bottle service is probably the most expensive in the city and the staff are full of rude and ignorant jackasses.. Last week we were out for my brothers 30th bday party and our last stop at 3am was going to be Cuvee.. We got there at 3:30am and the place closes at 5 with last call at 4:30. We were well dressed and had an equal amount of women in our party. The doorman wanted $1800 for us to get a table alone and then bottle service on top of that.. So basically they wanted us to spend almost $3000 for one hour of drinking.. 

I dont think I will be hitting up Cuvee any time soon after this....

Green Door Tavern @ 678 N Orleans| River North Restaurants

I have lived in River North for several years now and the Green Door Tavern is one of my favorite spots for lunch or to grab a drink before heading out with friends for a night out.. The menu is pretty standard bar food (burgers, wings, wraps etc..) but it is good quality and tastes very good!!!  The food is a bit on the pricey side for bar food but well worth it.. This place has been around for almost 100 years so they have to be doing something right..

Parking is street parking and lot parking.....

Beware of using your credit card at RINO bar| River North Bars

 
Hello everyone...

Had a bad experience at Rino a while back...Besides the way over the top tough guy bouncer routine, the expensive drinks and way overpriced and time senstive bottle service...there was a bigger issue for me.. All im saying is check your credit card statement carefullly after you use your credit card here!!!Not a big fan of this place..

Best Burger In River North: HOP HAUS @ 646 Franklin

 

I would like to consider myself a burger afficianado and being a afficianado I have to highly recommend what I think is the best spot for a burger in Chicago River North:  HOP HAUS.  You can get anything from a standard cheese burger to a lamb, ostrich, turkey burger and much much more!! The burgers are huge and reasonably priced for River North.. Average burger is about $9-$10. This place is also a great spot to watch whatever game is on tv.
