The VIG Old TownB+

1527 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60610 · Restaurant, American restaurant, Bar · Old Town

Lively Old Town spot with strong cocktails, popular burgers and salmon, upbeat service, and clubby energy; good happy hour value but noise, reservation friction, and an added 3% fee can frustrate.

Why this grade

The VIG Old Town delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by well-executed burgers and salmon, paired with attentive service and a lively Old Town setting. However, inconsistent execution and operational friction during peak hours—crowding, host interactions, and noise—prevent a higher grade. Worth visiting for cocktails and pre-show dining, though expect variable experiences depending on timing.

One caveat: Noise and DJ volume can be high; not ideal for quiet conversation
