MBar - Millennium Station — Restaurant in Chicago

I recently stopped by MBar, located inside historic Millennium Station in downtown Chicago. Millennium Station, known as one of the busiest railway stations in The Second City, makes for a convenient spot to grab a drink when waiting for a Metra or Amtrak train.

MBar offers nice views of Chicago's impressive skyline from its floor-to-ceiling windows. On a blustery day, it's the perfect place to escape The Windy City weather and warm up with one of their craft cocktails. The drinks are creatively named with train-themed monikers like 'The Commute' and 'Express Track.'

In addition to its cocktail menu, MBar serves small plates like truffle popcorn perfect for snacking. The space has a modern, sophisticated feel with dim lighting and dark wood decor. It seems like a nice hidden gem for travelers passing through Millennium Station, the City's main downtown train depot located just a stone's throw from iconic landmarks like Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain.

Whether you're a local looking to start your evening downtown or a visitor needing to wait out a delay, I recommend stopping in to MBar to relax with a drink and soak in views of the vibrant city skyline along Lake Michigan. Just be sure to check the departure boards still—wouldn't want to...

Terrible experience. The bartender with the fake blondish, brownish, curly hair was extremely rude. Upon entering the bar, she greets my party with an unpleasant “you can only order your drinks to go.”

It was around 10:10PM, and the bar doesn’t close until 11PM. There were people sitting at the bar, music blaring etc. In so many words, there was time to be able to sit and enjoy a drink. The bartender’s attitude easily dissuaded us from doing so.

My party and I stared in astonishment at her unpleasant demeanor, as she then had the audacity to quirk “this is a business, we have to make money, so order or leave.” We hadn’t even taken seat yet, looked at a menu (wasn’t offered a menu) or anything.

We decided to leave. I refuse to support a business that treats their customers in such a manner.

I have never had an experience like this before, and would like to speak...

Bartender was especially rude. My phone died and was trying to call my mom. I asked if she had a phone charger I could borrow she had the audacity to say i could only use the charger if i bought a drink. I walked back to the table to grab my phone and was then told i could only stay in there if i bought a drink. She was incredibly rude. It was an emergency and she’s only concerned on selling drinks? I will be calling the bar to speak to a manager. Her attitude was gross. She had blonde hair...
