I stumbled upon this place for restaurant week a few years back and have henceforth made an effort to come a few times each year and always bring someone new. The location is both a pro and a con: good in the sense that it stands out, but your options are limited if you end up having to wait (note that you can call ahead up to hold your place in line up to an hour in advance). At the same time, great things are worth waiting for.
DMK is really doing something interesting here. The music is great and employees are encouraged to play their own favorites. The service, atmosphere, drinks and food are all great. I do, however, wish that there were more menu options given a few favorites endure all menu changes.
Absolutely wonderful. Food was incredible, but the best part is getting to pick a record out to play when you enter.
Fantastic tapas style food and ambiance with a solid beer & wine list. Don't let the location fool you, this is one of my favorite spots in the area
Third time here and I’ll be back. Their food is well thought out, and has enough vegetarian options for me. Service is always friendly and fun. I love the outdoor space with table tennis. Their cocktails are incredible too.
A delightful surprise. Great food, urban chic decor with super cocktails. A little off the path but totally worth it.
One of my favorite spots in Chicago! Ada Street has a true speakeasy feel due to its random location and long dark (almost too dark!) hallway before you reach the restaurant and bar area. The food and cocktails are amazing. The vibe is very hip but not too hipster. They are constantly playing good music from their extensive collection of vinyl which you can peruse yourself They take requests! In addition to all this, they also have a fully enclosed open-air courtyard for dining al-fresco when the weather is nice.
Ada Street is consistently one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their creativity of the flavors developed is matched perfectly to their all-vinyl soundtrack and the precision of their staff. The cocktails are, like everything else, perfection.
Love the ambience! Great drinks.
Food serving size left a lot to be desired, portion size too small. My hunny is still hungry. But tasty though.
Fantastic food and cocktails. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. The scallops and forbidden rice are delicious! Looking forward to going back.
Super hipster vibe, tucked away next to a garbage dump, of all places. Great cocktails, but prices for food get high
Fantastic small plates here. Plenty of craft cocktails and wine to choose from. It's a great place for a special occasion.
Hidden gem! Went for restaurant week, the food and drinks were amazing. Awesome atmosphere
Loved this place! Love they have records you can choose from to have the bartender play. So cool. Great atmosphere. We sat at the bar and loved watching the bartenders work their magic with the many interesting craft cocktails on their menu. We snacked on the polenta fries and scallops. Both were delicious but especially the bacon jam that came with the scallops. Soooo good! I would love to come back and try more menu items. Can't believe I've waited so long to check out this place!
