They're Not Lying When They Say The Best Wings in Town...

I initially went in with my friends for the 25 cent wings on Tuesday night. All I had expected was cheap wings but I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY with everything I saw. From the super cool waiter who answered all of our questions, to the 2 FREE rock bands that played on while we noshed (and no, it wasn't so obnoxious that we couldnt talk over it), to the BEST chicken wings I have ever tasted in my 27 years. Listen, they were lightly breaded and dry rubbed with a spicy jerk/brown sugar seasoning and they were juicy, really hot - as if they pulled them right out of the fryer (not sitting around like in some places until they become cold) - and jumbo in size. I orderd 12 and could barely put down 9. I want to keep going back, not just for the wings, but for all of their specials throughout the week and the really awesome vibe that I felt. Kudos!

Finally a bar/grill in the south loop that has some balls. As a former new yorker, it is hard to find a place in Chicago that isn't themed entirely around sports. Finding more artsy or music based places has been a challenge. But this place has a good mix for everyone. The rock is loud and sometimes even live, which is awesome. But, you can also check the scores on their numerous flat screens. The point is that the sports are an afterthought, not a focal point. The food is killer and the staff is young, attractive and fun. I heard Chuck Berry, Radiohead, The Stones and Jane's Addiction before finishing my first drink. What else can I say!

I like Reggie's!

Reggie's staff was very friendly. They kept refilling water glasses, served up some spicy and not too greasy chicken wings and I love that it's non smoking. The interior is fun and live music with no cover charge is a good thing.

Great place to meet friends, have a beer, or see a band

Reggie's is a great place to hang out. The staff was nice and knowledgeable about the motherload of beers they have on tap. The music was good and the food was tasty. There was available street parking on State Street. There was a great mix of people there. We had a fun time and plan on going back again soon

Great for allt types of entertainment. Watching a sporting event. Relaxing in the lounge with friends or step it up a notch with live music from Blues to Rock and even Punk. Pick your style and enjoy the great comfort food (my favorites are the mac and cheese anddon"t miss the fried pickels

Music good but, take it down a notch

I agreee with everything positive about this unique place the other reviews had to say- however, if you're expecting to go to a bar and not a concert- Reggie's is not your place- fraternize elsewhere. The place is almost a 10! We went to meet friends for drinks and eats and couldn't hear a word anyone said not, even the bartendar when ordering a drink-- my ears are still ringing. I'm all about hard core sound but, this type of venue you need to turn it down a bit. I think a lot more people would hang if the environment was more accomodating. Consensus is- this place is so kick ass for us rockers but, now we just want to be able to hear eachother- rock out next door-or at least turned down a notch so, we can pick up other like-minded freaks. I still give Reggie's 4 stars- the city needs more places like this.

Great Bar

This place is unique. From the little details, such as the 8-tracks frammed over the facilities or the vinyl record set in the tables. Sweet place to check out.

Sports, Music, Booze, and Great Eats in the South Loop

My buddy and I stopped in to check out Reggie's for the first time since the completion of construction on Saturday September 15th. The place is amazing, you walk right into a great big bar area flanked with walls covered in autographed photos of famous athletes. There are televisions all around, showing sports and live music. The food is excellent, some of the best wings I have ever had. Next time we will be trying the ribs or burger. Nice to see some familiar faces behind the bar! Be sure to check out all the concert and sports tickets slabbed in the bar top. Can't wait to see a live show there soon. Kudos to Robbie for opening a great new place in the always developing South Loop.
Oh, and you can't miss the amazing bus parked out front
