- There's really two entirely different entities here: a quiet seafood-themed dining room in the back with gentle piano music, and a loud adjoining bar where power-yuppie patrons drink stiff martinis until the wee hours. – BlackBook
- From the outside this place looks like your typical bar in Wrigleyville, however inside its completely different! Dining room has a really nice ambiance, very intimate setting. – akm107, TripAdvisor

About Raw Bar
In the heart of Wrigleyville, diners savor Raw Bar’s namesake plate—fresh, raw oysters amid 40s and 60s art deco. However, the eatery’s seafood offerings encompass cooked cuisine as well, such as clams, lobsters, Dungeness crab, and octopus. Grilled frogs’ legs complement the aquatic eats, along with alligator meat smothered in creamy Louisiana mushroom sauce, and ostrich, a lean red meat discovered by far-sighted farmers who mistook ostriches for chickens. Mediterranean and Persian offerings, such as hummus and Persian chicken potato salad, round out the menu, and diners can wash down their meals with pours from the oaken bar, such as beers and hand-crafted margaritas.
