Halsted's Bar and Grill (Closed Permanently) Formerly: X/O

Spacious, lively spot with great beer garden

Halsteds' atmosphere attracts a mixed crowd for its great burgers, huge salads and extensive wine list. The cozy indoor dining room and bar fill up throughout the year but the lively beer garden fills up during summer.

Good beer, food and service

Wish I could allow myself to eat more wraps and burger in a week! Everything is super good at this place... Blueberry beer is great for those of us who don't like beer taste.

Don't waste your time and money

Stopped in for a drink and dinner with some friends and received nothing but poor service and awful food and drinks. My friends and I agreed to never to meet their again. Food and service used to be better. Not sure what happened, but don't waste your time here.

I disagree..........

with the previous review. I have never had a bad meal at Halsted's. The bar is nice and the patio is awesome on a summer evening. I enjoy the banter with the bartenders who are always cute and sarcastic, just the way I like 'em. I hit this place about twice a month.

Don't bother

It actually used to be good when they first opened. They had an awesome chicken pesto paninni that I loved. At their 3 different times in the last year. BAD, BAD and BAD. The food quality has went down hill - and the service never was any good there. I even talked to the owner about the quality issues - he denied anything had changed. But it has.
