The Boundary Tavern & Grille
Located in the heart of Wicker Park and the Division Street corridor, The Boundary has much to offer. Spacious booths and plenty of tables offer an array of seating options in a cavernous space that features a barrel roof with exposed beams, brick and flagstone walls, and an expansive bar opposite a wall with a fireplace. In warmer weather, two large garage doors open up to let fresh air into the restaurant and a 16 table patio plays host to many patrons all summer long. Plasma TVs let sports fans keep an eye on the score while eating contemporary bar food with a few creative twists. A brunch menu with a make your own bloody Mary and mimosa bar is a favorite destination on weekends.
The Boundary also features a hefty beer selection of over 100 beers and a long shuffleboard table stretching along the back wall to keep the sportier locals happy.

"Me and my wife went here to see a Bulls game and it exceeded our expectations. Our server was very friendly and the food was great. We went at dinner time during the week and there was plenty of seating and plenty of televisions. The beer draft selection was very good as well. Place was very new and well designed. We'll definitely go back there. Very good place to catch a game."

"I lived in Chicago a few years ago and this used to be one of my favorite spots to grab brunch, especially for its Bloody Mary bar. When I returned for a wedding weekend, I met up with 12 friends for brunch. The Bloody Mary Bar was just as I remembered it -- read: perfect! -- but the food was not as great. No worries, it was the perfect ambiance for a group and with all of the TVs, it's a great distraction for kids or sports junkies. Will be back next time in Chicago, for sure."

"A good, stable neighborhood "go to". Food is always good and reliable. Upscale bar atmosphere with comfortable seating and the view of a TV from any table. Brunch includes a bloody mary/mimosa bar, there is good outdoor seating, and the crowd is always friendly and casual. My favorite place on Division to grab lunch."

"On the plus side, Boundary has a fantastic beer selection and wait staff who are very knowledgeable about it. On the downside, we had a group of 14 and the wait staff dropped one of the trays carrying food to our table; half were done eating when the last people got their food. Stuff like that happens; it would have been nice if the manager had done something to make up for the disaster."

"We were disappointed by the Brunch Menu selection. We came to the Boundary during football season and the menu was incredible. Their off-season brunch menu, however, features ONLY savory items - there was not a single sweet breakfast item. I don't understand why they would limit their brunch menu in a city where brunch is what people do, especially given that the brunch items they offered previously were so terrific. And although the Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar were still there, they really aren't the same unless they are paired with an awesome menu. I would have rather just eaten lunch, omitting the bar and brunch entirely."

"When this placed first opened, I really, really liked it. Great place to go with friends and watch a game and have some good grub and drinks. While the bar choices are still pretty good, the food menu has really taken a downturn in the last year or so and more so in the last few months as it appears they dumbed it down yet again. Gone are many of the awesome burgers, pulled pork bbq sandwiches, and other tasty appetizer and menu items. What's left is just very average - both choices and quality. Not sure why but I am sadly disappointed. I don't know if it was coincidence but I was here on a Saturday night and it was DEAD. Very strange. Anyway, it's still an OK place there are much better choices in the area for food."
