ChicagoistSeptember 22, 2014Lincoln Square offers lots of good dinner options at reasonable prices. By virtue of its menu’s sheer length and ample patio, Bad Dog comes out a winner more often than not. Read more
- XSeptember 14, 2012Free Wi-Fi. There's no wifi password either. Enjoy it while you grab a bite or a drink on the lovely little patio. :) And say something nice to your server for bonus karma points.
Corey McFarlandMay 24, 2014Great food and atmosphere. Also child friendly. That's always a plus! Great beer selection. This is the spot for your pre beer, beers. Lol
Pedigree BrandNovember 10, 2011Dogs are welcome on the patio and they’ll hang a framed photo of your pooch on their Hall of Fame wall. Plenty of HDTVs keep you tuned in to your favorite teams.
Had a great dinner here after a show at the Old Town School. Good food and drinks, and not so raucous you can't have a conversation. (via Scoville) Read more

Marie RamosDecember 29, 2010This place is cozy, the bartenders are friendly and they have a great beer selection! Amazing nicois salad too!
great brunch spot. best if you are willing to linger though, because the servers take a bit of time to get to you. Food is surprisingly tasty.
Jon BoydNovember 1, 2010Monday night has $6 pizzas (and we found the service to be excellent, just for the record). Brady says, "It changed my life."
They undercook their burgers. Ask them to cook it one level above what you normally like.
Natalia SalvadorJanuary 8, 2013If the busboy was are server the service would've been great. I was going to tip him, but the server autogratuitied us so it ended up going to her. She SUCKED, and the food wasn't anything special.
Rochelle MorganSeptember 23, 2012Be prepared on Saturdays during college football season. This is a Tennessee bar.
venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011Service and food are mediocre. Come for the big, outdoor patio and the beer and let the rest go!
Nia W.April 3, 2010Bad dog Burger is delicious. Great brunch spot. Manhattans some of the best in town!
ronnie vannaAugust 7, 2010possibly the best burger in the city!....waite staff though pleasant could'nt be any dumber.
Scott KoernerMay 30, 2010Crazy selection of martinis named after dogs. St Bernard = Manhattan, my favorite.
Vincent BifanoFebruary 13, 2014I've had better service at an airport Chili's. Wouldn't stand out in a suburban strip mall.
Sad to hear that as of 5/20, mac and cheese bites are no longer on the menu
Jenny JambrosekAugust 5, 2010Service was unbelievably slow for a Monday night. I definitely do not recommend this place.
