3.6 / 5 (1761 reviews)

Description

The restaurant has received a mix of reviews, with positive comments about the staff, food, and atmosphere, particularly praising the island-themed setting and delicious homemade cocktails. Customers enjoyed the karaoke and people-watching experience, but some negative feedback highlighted issues with the door staff being unwelcoming and potentially racist, as well as overpriced cover fees and drinks. Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant seems to offer a festive environment for singing and socializing, with unique events such as DJ duets and Disney songs adding to the fun.

Not only did this place begin to calculate a cover fee, but their drinks and food are overpriced. the people who work there are strongly racist. Maybe it's not the people who work there, maybe it's just the clientele. or so, I felt completely isolated. worst experience I ever had in a chicago bar. 100/10 would not recommend. unless they are willing to spend a whole paycheck, just to sing a song.

This place has really great atmosphere and bar service. the mozzarella sticks were really delicious. we loved singing karaoke; but the dj was a little strange. still a good time.

Had a lovely experience at Trader Todd's for my friend's 24th birthday. The bar let my party of about 12 to 15 reserve 3 tables on a Friday night. Our waitress, Becca, was very accommodating and friendly. She even offered to split up our checks- even tho we had such a big group. I Would recommend this place to everyone.

Amazing staff and owners! Great food, an awesome front AND back patio and a fun and festive island themed bar/restaurant. We love the new tiki trolley (great way to get to Wrigley! . Make sure you try some of their homemade cocktails....delicious! Stop in early and grab a bite before the karaoke kicks off...it will be worth it!
