A great tucked away neighborhood casual spot of 20yrs with constantly rotating rare tap beers, amazing whiskey selection, and all homemade food down to their own ranch dressing. Known for their "pozole" specifically. Servers and bartenders are welcoming and take great care of you too. A must if you're in buena park/uptown! More

We went for brunch on Saturday. They were short staffed and still gave us great service. The food was good. We started with chips and guacamole then had breakfast bagel sandwiches, chicken sandwich and Bob's brunch bowl. The chicken sandwich was the least favorite. Overall good place and we would go again.

  • Danial Ruiz

You’ve got to patronize this place! It’s cozy & tucked away but close to busy spots of Uptown/Boystown/Wrigley. Incredible beer and liquor selection. The food menu is a great selection too. Burgers, salads, sandwiches, entree plates, and other items. We had great service too! Check this place out!

  • Logan Ginther

Matt fit us in late in the night before last call and was nothing but amazing with us. He crafted us an excellent cocktail even while finishing up tidying the place before close. We felt warm and welcome being the last stragglers and got great recommendations for the area (being new in town). More

  • Jared Day

Great vibe and good food. The pozole was super good. I will have it when I come back next. Also they have a great beer selection and some reserves too. I would maybe skip the turkey burger, I found the seasoning blend to be off and it wasn't bad but not what I would want again.

  • Natally Cardoso (Naty)

This bar surprised me a lot, because looking from the outside we have no idea how cozy it is, the decoration, the low light giving the impression of something romantic and at the same time welcoming, I loved it and I will definitely come back.

  • Alysha Balog

Chill bar with solid whiskey selection. Not sports oriented, but in big game days you can watch. Food does not stand out, but it's good. The burgers and nachos are the best. the service and atmosphere makes it a totally great local spot. More

I recently visited The Bar on Buena and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. Not only do they have a great selection of drinks, but their food menu is also impressive. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor

Grat Location and the outdoor patio is nice for an evening drink or lunch. The service was good and staff was friendly. I had a few drinks here With friends. The drinks however , missed the mark in a way.not bad but I’ve had better drinks.

  • Mike Niznikiewicz

Amazing drink selection, fantastic service, excellent food. You really can't ask for much more from a great neighborhood establishment. They do takeout and will also seat you with plenty of space between tables as long as there's room. The

Can't comment on the food because I was there with friends on the late, but heard good things about their burgers and pozole. Service was great, and I was most impressed that they have Don Q, Puerto Rican Rum. The vibe is chill and

Great vibes, incredible beer list and smashing prices. Burgers are thicc boys and taste incredible- personal fav is the BOB burger. Tacos are also pretty amazing. They have daily specials that are actually really fun/tasty. Entire crew is

I came in pretty hot walking up to the bar saying, "I hate my fiends, I hate myself, I hate everything. I think I may be hangry" the lovely bartender (yoga instructor as a side hustle) didn't miss a beat... she told me, you need a burger.

LOVE this little neighborhood bar. Its quaint yet lively and full of locals. If you're looking for a quick beer, this is your place. If you're looking for the best burgers, this is your place. If you're looking to meet your neighbor, this

  • Caleb Miller

New resident of Buena Park and Chicago—BoB is easily the best bar in the neighborhood. Strong food menu with gourmet burgers as their highlight. Great drink prices. Attentive and easy-going bar and restaurant staff. My new favorite go-to.

  • Alex Anne Mastroni

Infatuated with the Toast Tab ordering system at Bar on Buena. When you get seated you scan a QR code, and create a tab to place orders. You can submit multiple orders on the same tab. Anyone at the table can join the tab, and at the end

Great little bar with good food and tasty beer. We stopped in on a rainy afternoon and they had a good selection of German/Austrian beers on draft. The burgers were also delicious, but pretty big. Sweet potato fries with the garlic aioli

A chill neighborhood spot with a great sidewalk patio with tree shade. Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and a hummus platter before heading to dinner. Perfect spot for conversation, and the service was excellent! More

  • Haley D.

This is a lovely neighborhood bar and fun for a casual dinner. It can get packed so I'd recommend coming early for a table outside (inside was easier). The atmosphere is really nice and I'd definitely come back.

  • D Taylor

I was craving a juicy burger with fries, an upbeat atmosphere, within walking distance on a week night. I walked into Bar on Buena (my first visit) last week and checked ✔️ ALL the boxes for a great experience!

  • aditya Bajaj (Plates And Barrels)

I used to live across the street and have frequented this amazing place. It has great outdoor sitting as well as indoor. I absolutely loved their whiskey collection and so many (rotating as well) beers on tap.

  • Jasper Baur

Oh we loved this bar, their cocktails were excellent and the fact that they had malört on the first page meant we had to order it. Also Dakota was kind and courteous, 10/10 give him a raise. More

  • Olivia Myers

None of the appetizers were very exciting. Conical fries not actually in the shape of cones. But the patio is great and service is friendly! Didn’t get a main entree but they looked good. More

  • Cheryl Bacigalupi

Great neighborhood bar with outdoor seating. The bar inside is warm and welcoming with some tables, a wooden bar and some couches. The food is great and they will accommodate special requests.

  • Dave S

Great burgers - the only thing I'd change is - go back to paper menus instead of QR codes - drop off the check at the table instead of just having the total read to us. More
