Benchmark Tavern - Chicago

Benchmark is the best place for Iowa game days! Amazing food and friendly service. This is our fav place to come on Saturday afternoons :

I haven’t been here and 80 Proof next door since pre-pandemic. First time going for basic lunch and drinks. It’s cool just very yt.

They used to have such a good selection of Burgers and other sports bar food. The 4c smash burger is alright, but it's just an overpriced big Mac. Sadly thats the only burger they offer. Their barbacoa nachos used to be delicious and one of the things I was glad stayed on their menu, but last night I was told that was discontinued and replaced with boring chicken nachos. I miss the old sports bar food benchmark. I don't like this new healthy boring unfulfilling food selection.

Original review: The bartenders will change the prices of drinks based on who they’re serving. One vodka soda was $15- insane. When I brought it up to another bartender, she said I was overcharged but made a big deal out of refunding me $2.Edit: received a super professional response and explanation from Mike regarding my experience and I'm sure it was a fluke. I will definitely be giving Benchmark another shot if I am in the area again.

Great place for a drink and light snacks! The staff its super friendly and welcoming! I love the cucumber gin drink and the boards!! Great vibes as
