- Xandrea RapierApril 3, 2017Great place to celebrate with friends. Top notch service, great cocktails, good food and good music. Food, drink, and dancing all in one spot! Cocktails in the vault a must, reminisce of a speakeasy.
- Nae NaeFebruary 13, 2015Went with 20 people& had an amazing time. Amazing food & decor. Its an underground 1920's bank with Bank Vault & safe deposit boxes throughout its incredible. Try the mac n cheese& cauliflower
- Brooke KruegerFebruary 15, 2015I love how cozy this place is. Sitting on the vault is by far my favorite. I do like how they replaced a lot of the high top tables with shorter tables and comfy chairs, it makes it more intimate

- Mary AlesandriniApril 18, 20168.5 - Amazing cheeseburger and Mac and cheese. Hip place, great DJ (turns into a dance floor later), gorgeous interior.
- Shannon JeropkeJune 17, 2016Smoking Gun ($11) If you're looking for something tall, dark and smoky, the Wicker Park bar's has the cure: rosemary-infused mezcal, creme de cassis, egg white, lemon juice and grapefruit bitters.
- Time Out ChicagoMarch 30, 2012On Tuesdays, chef Mark Steuer slashes the price of ocean-fresh oysters (regularly $2 each) in half, and the bar follows suit, knocking 50 percent off all sparkling wines and Champagnes. Read more
- Time Out ChicagoMarch 2, 2012With cream cheese, tomato, bacon, a fried egg and hot sauce, the burger is a beast. The doubly crisp potatoes are tasty enough to take up space needed for a funky, delicious kimchi Bloody Mary. Read more
- Time Out ChicagoApril 24, 2012Former HotChocolate chef Mark Steuer keeps it seasonal with dishes such as braised chicken with greens in a whole-grain mustard broth, and sates late-night appetites with grilled cheese on black bread Read more
- Time Out ChicagoJuly 7, 2014The dining space itself feels cavernous, and it’s really three spaces, the most impressive of which is the former bank vault. Read more
- Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the The Bedford Bloody Mary from our 100 Best list: The kimchi actually belongs in this drink. It adds a pleasant background of earthiness to what otherwise would be just tomato juice and spice.
- Niket DesaiMarch 9, 2014Super sweet spot on weekends because of the live DJ. Get the Gnocchi. The Hemingway for drinks is great too.
- Emily S.August 16, 2014Entrance is a wooden door on the side of CVS. Classy atmosphere. Free cauliflower fritters if you check in on yelp.
- Lauren DrogosJuly 19, 2011Super cool atmosphere (once a bank; safe is super cool) Mac 'n cheese was unreal. Grilled cheese was also delicious. No complaints about anything!
- Philip PrimoMarch 6, 2014Stop by on Saturdays or sometimes on the weekends when they have a live little jam band playing!
- Ron SamuelsDecember 9, 2011The Vault is where it's at! You can actually strike up a conversation with those at the end of bench. (You'll understand when you're there.)
- Samantha BornemannNovember 22, 2016Great oysters, nice cocktails. Skip the short, dry fries as a table side.
- David SavinFebruary 12, 2012The burger here was a very pleasant surprise. One of my favorites. Try the bowl of Pisco sour as well!
- Kate LeeNovember 14, 20111/2 bowl of Pisco punch is enough for three. Charred baby octopus and macaroni gratin are dishes to try. Small portions, but easily shared for the most part.

- Raoul BaddeOctober 30, 2011Get a Bedford bloody Mary (comes with a beer back!) with the pork belly benedict. Perfect Sunday food combo.
- Christine HongAugust 3, 2013The deviled eggs were delish. The pork belly was a bit too salty. Nice atmosphere and it wasn't too crowded.
- If you are veg and love lots of flavor, go for the gnocchi... So yummy and loads of veggies!!!
- Michael SpeierFebruary 12, 2012Great setting and good food plus drinks are pretty good too... Get the punch bowl for 3 or more

- Solveig SeibitzMarch 1, 2014the location is very nice, perfect for a date but a bit too fancy for my taste.
