No food which is totally fine because they’re very cool about allowing you to bring some in. Bar staff is great, always moving and assisting customers quickly and correctly. The manager Kaci has done a great job. We love coming to rebel and rye for the great atmosphere and great music. Good drinks well priced and always a great service, great time.

My wife and I came into the city to have a date night this past weekend. She googled a few places and Rebel was one that popped up. We saw that there was complimentary popcorn and we were sold! We were served by the GM, Kaci, and she made us feel so welcome. We don’t get out here that often but Kaci was great and the vibes/music was awesome. We definitely plan on coming back!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Nick for taking the time to write this awesome ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review for #rebelandryechicago
Had such a good time here! It's a cute place with really great drinks. We sat at the bar most of the time and had such great service from Kaci. She made our experience fun and made such delicious drinks. Really appreciate the personable experience as some servers and bartenders in the city make it obvious that they're miserable (and the drinks usually reflect that too). Would love to come back again!

Loved this spot! For my first time, I had a great time with my friends. Had a few beers and played darts. They dont have food, but its BYOF. Love that they give free popcorn, although i didn’t have any. Would definitely come back. I spilled a glass of beer, but were really nice about it, and gave me a free refill. They have an outdoor patio behind as well.

If your looking for a great neighborhood bar I suggest giving them a try. The bartenders customer service is great and quick. Some drinks do cost more then others, but on the good side you can get any food delivered there you want!
