Lush Food & Drink - West Town on Postcard

"The West Town outpost of Lush aims to be all things for its customers year-round. During the summer, it’s a popular neighborhood hang for the ample patio seating. In the winter, guests cozy up to the best seats in the house, near the fireplace. House-cured olives, artisan cheeses, prepared gourmet meals, and more may be purchased from the market. And the restaurant offers a Parisian cafe-style setting for those looking to get out of the house over a bottle or two of vino. Selections vary from cool regional finds to international stars. Lush also has a location in Roscoe Village." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

One one side of Lush is an extensive retail space featuring a great selection of wine and some spirits, while the other side is reserved for tastings, snacks, events and parties." - Serafini Creative

Very nice local bar with huge wine selection and amazing charcuterie pairings. They also have happy hour and you can get a flight of wine for $15, the bartender was really helpful in picking wines to try and buy some for the house. Service is a bit slow as they only had one person, but wine comes quite quickly.

We did the Sunday 10 dollar tasting. The wines were fantastic and Nabeel was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely, low key atmosphere

We absolutely love Lush! Friendly, knowledgeable staff Great wines and even better food All coming together in an atmosphere that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago We especially enjoy coming to Lush after a long week, to relax and unwind on their lovely patio. It's a great place to unplug and enjoy a nice bottle of wine paired with literally anything on their menu A small, elevated menu that does everything right If you're in a rush, look elsewhere. Lush gives European vibes where things move a little slower and meals are savored and enjoyed

Such a lovely hidden gem. Our server Jeff was truly fantastic. We told him what type of wine and alcohol we liked and he brought out what he thought we’d like and it was fantastic. Such a great experience. Unique, curated towards each person and just amazing. Definitely recommend.

We had a great experience at Lush! We did their wine tasting with Nabeel who was clearly so passionate about the unique wines that we tried. We will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem. The food menu is truly amazing (although it’s not huge as they don’t have a full kitchen). Staff are super nice and you can take anything you want from the store and have them open the wine for you, but the menus of beers, cocktails and a wine is more than enough to satisfy you. Even managed to find buck-a-shuck oysters when we came. Check out there super cute outside area with a mural than took months to make for your perfect insta moment and some cute string lights and a secluded unique date venue outside but out of the wind. It’s a great place, highly recommended. Also strongly recommend to try the veggie burger. It’s a mix of grain and mushroom but tastes more like real meat than some of the fake meat you get!

The wine was good. The environment (when I went) was a tad disorganized. The individuals prepping food put trays in areas not associated with high end wine bars. They just sat it on a container at the bar. It appears the owner was eating chicken near the front door after taking my card and check but never brought it back. He continued to eat chicken next to the front door without giving card and check back after processing. If I was a customer, the first thing I don’t want to see is something eating behind the counter. Especially when you charge $24 a glass (the wine was worth it but doesn’t align to a culture that so unsophisticated that they eat at the entrance of their own establishment). I doubt I’ll be ver come back. I will not recommend this place. I want love places to succeed but when they do not deliver I cannot enforce such a slow, incompetent and disorganized established. Such a shame.

Everything they do, they do well. Great recommendations. Lovely patio, lovely indoor atmosphere, and never interacted with a staff member that wasn’t super knowledgeable and friendly. Love living across the block from this cute little dive!
