Five stars for the vibe, decor, location and ambiance of this place!!! I had a group of about 13 family and friends join me for brunch one Saturday in August at Beatnik on the River while celebrating my birthday in Chicago, and it was a gorgeous spot
Had a great experience at the Beatnik on the River.
I went there for my birthday brunch. They had amazing options and everything was super tasty. The ambiance was gorgeous with amazing decor and vibes! A perfect place for brunches and family/friends hangout. The service was also great.

On our boat tour, the guy mentioned this location as we passed and it looked cool so we decided we would have brunch on our last day here. We got there pretty early and were seated at a table with a view of the river. As you walk in, the decor is ver

Amazing food, with many different options of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine. Excellent service, very friendly staff. The place is gorgeous. Good view to the river.
I wanted to love this place so bad! I went for my birthday
I wanted to love this place so bad! I went for my birthday dinner and they did not mention my birthday or do anything special despite notating that on my reservation and in the comments of my reservation :( the food was unseasoned, cold and there was
Honestly a fun spot to go with friends.
They can't always get you on the water part but even the street patio is fun and good drinks! Service is decent.
Ambience was definitely very nice but this place was not
Ambience was definitely very nice but this place was not memorable. I didn't even remember what I ate until I looked at photos. It's more of a place to go have a drink at before actual dinner!
Great service and ok food and drinks.
Sat over the water but it was so warm, no air or fans going. They were out of the fried rice and the server said the burrito was underwhelming. That only left a couple options so I chose the burger. What burger doesn't come with fries??? Despite
Brunch at Beatnik on the River was easily my favorite meal
Brunch at Beatnik on the River was easily my favorite meal here so far -- everything from the food to the view to the service was spot on. The riverfront setting makes it such a perfect spot for a relaxing weekend meal. We started with the Mezze Pla

The staff here was so rude despite the fact that we spent hundreds of dollars on our dinner. It took the waitress 10 to 15 minutes on average to check on us and every time she did she was so unhappy.The food la flavor and the drinks were very weak, f

I returned after a horrible hosting experience last year, but with some hope. The space is very Instagram-mable, and the music makes for a really fun ambiance. The service was good but unfortunately the food was just bad. A well below average burger
Great atmosphere (11/10): on the river.
Service: okay but slow (6/10). Baba ghanoush solid (7/10). Side of crispy bacon (9/10). Shakshouka the biggest flop ever (-100/10): ketchup in a bowl, watery, bland. Pita bread: the most consistent and good thing (8/10) Cinnamon roll: dry and hard (
A Flavorful Gem by the River in Downtown Chicago
This beautiful spot in downtown Chicago, right on the river, completely won us over! The view alone is worth a visit-calming, open, and perfect for a relaxed afternoon or a vibrant evening out. We indulged in a variety of flavorful Arabic dishes-cre
Food was greattttttt.
Service was amazing and wow the vibe was great too just side of the river . Drinks top notch just amazing ambiance .
Loved it here!
Wow, loved it here! We stopped here on our way to and from the train station this weekend. We had the avocado for an appetizer and the tuna steak sandwich for lunch. Food and drinks were on point! On Sunday we enjoyed drinks on the patio. Our server

If you're looking for vibes, views, and an IG-worthy backdrop, Beatnik on the River absolutely delivers. The design is gorgeous -- every level feels like its own curated moodboard. From boho-chic lounges to romantic riverside seating, it's
Burgers wow!
Such a cool setting! We dropped in without a reservation so we sat at the bar until the table was ready. The bartender was attentive and made fantastic drinks. At the table the atmosphere was great and waiter explained and pointed out parts of t

I recently dined at Beatnik on the River, and it's definitely a place I'd recommend. It's not cheap. Because you're paying for the atmosphere, location, and aesthetic, expect prices above the average. Staff are generally friendly
Cannot beat the ambiance of Beatnik on the river.
Their outdoor patio/deck area that looks over the river has amazing views and the most gorgeous decorations. I really enjoyed my Hugo spritz, but the food was just okay. I wasn't impressed by the Shakshuka or the cinnamon roll. Shakshuka: 3/5 C

Saw this place on TikTok and had high expectations for this place because I saw a lot of review on it. This place is more of a Mediterranean cuisine. I got the double cheeseburger and I thought that it was really good, especially since it was double

In town for work and we hosted a company dinner at Beatnik in the garden room. The staff helping us plan the event were fantastic and the event itself went off without a hitch. The service was great and more importantly, the food was fantastic. Eve

Great Happy Hour!! The view was amazing, the happy hour drinks were strong and delicious, the burger from happy hour was a perfect bite. The service was amazing. Our server was definitely on her game and very attentive. I'd like to go back
Best Mediterranean dishes
The most amazing restaurant by the Riverwalk! Seriously, all the dishes that we had in our tiny little event were applauded by our guests. Starting from the Mezze Platter on which most of my guests ordered for a repeat, to the Tuna Ceviche and Octopu
Love the vibe! Trendy but not trying too hard.
The staff is friendly and the food was was delicious. It's not often you come across a restaurant that offers such unique options. The prices were friendly but like most unique Trinity restaurants let's say the portions may be on the small
Nice, trendy place with a good vibe
Good food, nice cocktails, energetic atmosphere. I can't say more than that, however, since we were on the street side (outdoors), not the water side. I'd like to return and experience the rest of the place.
Beautiful Restaurant
We sat outside, and the atmosphere was so amazing that I knew it would be a great experience, regardless of how the food tasted. The brunch menu was pretty limited, but we ordered the shakshouka and the kale salad with salmon, and both were good.
Disappointed
The aesthetics of the restaurant were beautiful, but the service was highly disappointing. We couldn’t order any hot food till an hour after our reservation. Both servers weren’t gracious and condescending. We had high hopes, but unfortunately di
Great find!
This is a great spot! I have been to Chicago many times, but haven’t had the pleasure of coming upon this establishment until recently. We walked in, got a two top in the bar and the bartender was immediately at our table with waters, and taking ou
Good food good service undisclosed credit card surcharge is annoying
The food was good. The view was awesome. Service was good. Credit card service charge which wasn’t disclosed was annoying.

Full disclaimer, I was late to my reservation with 9 people.
This was for my 30th birthday. My reservation was at 2 and we got there at 3. We tried to change the reservation online and thru the phone around 12 but no answer and the online portal would not allow us to. Once we arrived they sat us in a room in

This place is amazing!!! If you have to go anywhere in this city this is the spot. Manager mazzaratti and hostess sarah amazing!!! If you don't try this spot!!! I love it!!!!
Perfectly located and beautifully decorated restaurant.
We were seated right by the river and it was beautiful! Everything on the menu looked good, my Kale Fattoush was so fresh and light. I'd recommend adding salmon to it- crispy on the outside but still tender. If you're in a large group and seated alon
Don't waste your time.
Terrible menu and food! Is right on the river but glass wall between you and river! Flowers are fake!
One of my new favorite restaurants! The food was incredible

The food was well seasoned, quick service, and the ambiance
The food was well seasoned, quick service, and the ambiance was really nice. While we did not sit on the river, we were extremely lucky to have Virgil as our server. He was kind, made sure the food was correct (I have a food allergy), and consistentl
Wonderful experience.
Stopped by in whim after seeing on TicTok. We didn't have reservations but we're able to grab a spot on the "rail". Perfect. Overlooking river in the most beautiful room from the post. Service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and

Went in around 4 pm on a tuesday and host was shocked we didn't have a reservation. which was weird bc the entire front patio and inside of restaurant was completely empty. they said they had standing room only outside. i said is the front patio not
Rudest hostess, good ambiance
The hostess Kira was the rudest restaurant employee I've ever interacted with. We were a large party, and she was consistently condescending, sarcastic, and snappily accused us several times of not confirming our reservation (and was again rude when
Great lunch, beautiful restaurant
This was one of our fav spots during our whole trip to Chicago. We had reservations on a Wednesday at 11am. We were seated and waited on promptly. The food came out quickly just as ordered and it was delicious. The place is darling and being able to
Food was great! But…..
Food was excellent, amber our waitress was great. But the hostess was horrific. Never been spoken to like that- set the tone for the whole meal. It was one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We should have left right then.
Perfect
This spot is great for dates, casual meet ups, business gathering’s etc. The ambiance is beautiful, the food was great, the service was perfect and the hostess was perfection at its finest. Love this spot!!!
The worst experience I ever had! Attention u can easlity burn parts of ur body there
Last Friday I went to this dysfunctional establishment because of my friend wanted to talk to their waiter and had already regret many times that I just hadn’t waited for him in the car. In general, in the next 10 minutes, the following situation o
There is no happy hour.
Food was delicious but this place is way overpriced and they charged us a 3% fee for using a credit card.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Beatnik On The River Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Beatnik On The River Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Beatnik On The River Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Beatnik On The River Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
