Carbon Arc Board - Chicago

We were impressed by bartender Ian's exceptional cocktail-making skills. The vibrant atmosphere of this place is truly enjoyable. We highly recommend it for drinks!

We visited the restaurant on a Thursday evening before going to see a movie. We sat at the bar and ordered two servings of fish tacos and a beer for my husband. Because I am pregnant, I requested a non-alcoholic mojito. The bartender, Ian, was very kind and accommodating. The drink was delicious. The fish tacos were excellent, and we also ordered churros for dessert which were amazing - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with an ancho Chile dipping sauce. The food was fantastic, but what really stood out was the service. Ian was welcoming and attentive, even inquiring about our movie time to ensure our food would arrive promptly. When the bill came, Ian did not charge me for the mocktail and applied a Thursday special discount that we were not aware of, resulting in a total bill of only $35 for two meals, drinks, and dessert. I left a $20 tip for Ian as he truly deserved it. He even provided us with to-go cups for our water for the movie. The service was exceptional, and Ian was a genuinely good person. We are looking forward to returning every Thursday to enjoy a meal, watch a movie, and be served by Ian again. We will definitely be back.

Thought this was a little bit more posh eclectic but it’s basically for if you want to grab a quick bite before the theater or to bring into theater. Food is mediocre but price point is fine for what it is. Good selection of craft beers though. Vibe is decent. Don’t really suggest unless you’re going to movies and it’s convenient. A bit disappointed bc was hoping this was going to be a good add to the Lincoln square strip of fun cute restaurants

Love this place. It is our go to place to eat in the neighborhood. I love the flat breads, highly recommend the Green Eggs and Ham one and the Smash burger is so good. Sunday Brunch offers bottomless mimosas for and their version of the Smash burger but in a breakfast burrito. Love the fries and need them with about everything I get. Staff is great and friendly, and makes you feel at home. And they usually have something on TV that I really want to see.

Carbon arc has a large ambiente, a lot of tasty cocktails and tasty eating.
