I agree with Karen H.. this is a plan B sort of place. Definitely would never pick this as a first choice, but it's a nice back up when where you want to go (Jerry's) is too packed. As a disclaimer..…

Aside from the interior (stylish but comfy) and the cute little mason jars you drink out of, I really don't have many positive things to say about this place. The food was mediocre at best. I had the…

I can throw a rock from my condo and literally hit one of those hipster doofuses on the patio of Moonshine. Let's talk about my experience there last Saturday night. A bus rolls into Moonshine at 10 PM…

For the most part Moonshine's service is good. But Sunday brunch is another story. It seems like their waitstaff would rather be anywhere else in the world. You wait 20 minutes to get a coffee refill…

I went for brunch on a Sunday, with a group and reservations. Moonshine would be raved about in a small town where Denny's is the other option for Sunday brunch. But in Chicago, it's sorely…

Nothing special. It reminds me of a dream some raver had in the 90's to open a "Club/Retaurant" after the raves. The food is average. The experience is average and if the music is on the experience is lame. If...

Moonshine gets two stars only because the restaurant looks cute and none of us got food poisoning. Seeing how I clearly set the bar low, it is shocking that Moonshine couldn't get over the 2 star…

A decent bar with decent food. The atmosphere and crowd are different depending on what day/time you go. I really like the Bloody Marys there. They serve most cocktails in mason jars!
