Grapes & Grains Chicago Reviews
First time visiting Grapes & Grains yesterday and I really
First time visiting Grapes & Grains yesterday and I really enjoyed the experience. I sat at the bar on the second floor, which had a great vibe with live music setting the mood. The ambience felt classy but still relaxed--perfect for a night out.

My favorite happy hour in west loop! The live music is always fun and whatever sauce comes with the French fries is to die for!
Friendly staff.
Prompt service. The meals cooked to perfection, salads are made with fresh ingredients and the combination of the flavors are exquisite Prices are reasonable.
Great time here on Friday night with friends - really good
Great time here on Friday night with friends - really good vibe, drinks and fun music
I went for a whisky tasting, specifically old fashions.
The place was jammed! I don't usually drink old fashions, but I did it for the team. I was impressed though, I found one I'd order again. I'd go back, the vibe and the people were great.
The upstairs was super loud but the downstairs was fine.
Drinks were expensive but the bartenders worked fast.
For a "wine bar," they are out of many wines.
At the time, they literally only had Sauvignon blanc and Pinot Noir, and I'm not talking just by the glass. This is very unfortunate. Also, on a Friday night, there was only one server who was over her head with orders and not necessarily knowle

Stepped in to check it out during their 6-8 pm happy hour before live piano music at 8:30. It smelled strangely bad and I could not even stay. Decided to leave and find somewhere else.
Don't bother making a reservation here, apparently it is
Don't bother making a reservation here, apparently it is meaningless. They cut our group of 15 loose last minute on a Saturday night claiming a last minute buyout, ruining the bachelor/bachelorette party we had planned. Take a pass and find a place t

Stepping into the cozy confines of this piano bar is like entering a realm where time slows and worries melt away. The warm glow of dimmed lights sets the stage for an evening of musical enchantment. As the pianist's fingers dance across the keys, ea
Rediculous drink prices.
Four drinks with their automatic 21% tip came to $100, including $23 alone for a standard old fashioned that they charge $10 at happy hour. I love live piano but it also was way too loud with the acoustics. Service was good and I liked the dark vibes
I celebrated a milestone birthday in NYC & THE CHI.
Hip Hop and are the same age and I wanted to represent for the culture, movement, and LOVE of Hip Hop. My girl ordered a cake and we celebrated there. I was happy to be celebrated but maybe would have chose a different place. Ambiance was very ba

Really awful , both me and my friends drink tasted like a club drink and after they were able to switch mine out we were told the establishment closed at 12 so last call was at 11:30 . And they promptly gave us the bill with a 21% mandatory tip charg

Scam alert! Over 100% total surcharge or $66 due to a "piano cover" and "21% auto gratuity". Absolutely scam.

Visiting from Houston.
Loved every bit of picking songs and them playing and singing them. 2 diff pianists. They had so many diff songs and played every genre. They have small charcuterie boards and such. Mainly for drinking and good vibes.

My partner and I dropped into Grapes & Grains for drinks on a Thursday afternoon. We were able to get a table in the main area with a nice view of the piano. The music was quite loud for my liking and made it difficult to hold any conversation le
Unbelievable place.

My fiancé and I visited Friday evening, thought we could walk in without reservations but you definitely do need reservations. There is also a $10 cover fee staring 7 pm (I believe), even with reservations. The guy at the reception counter was able

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Grapes & Grains 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 Grapes & Grains 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
* EternalAnt36, 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.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Grapes & Grains 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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 Grapes & Grains 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.
