Diego is a fun West Town spot that advertises itself as a dive bar but is actually a fantastic Baja restaurant. They have excellent burritos, tacos, and a tuna tostada that interrupts our train of thought more often than we’d like to admit. And if you stop by their colorful, graffiti-streaked space during brunch, you can do some very scientific research to see whether the tuna tostada tastes better before or after a few glasses of bottomless mimosas. You only get 90 minutes, though, so—in the name of science—get going.

The Deal: Bottomless mimosas $20

Broken Barrel’s three dining rooms and patio are all equipped with bars and plenty of TVs—the ideal setup for catching an early weekend game while enjoying savory brunch dishes like steak skillets or chilaquiles. But even if you have zero interest in screaming profanities at a screen, the $25 bottomless mimosas make this Lincoln Park spot worth the visit. And unlike many other places on this guide, the food is better than expected. Get the excellent wings or the burger disguised as breakfast thanks to the addition of bacon and a fried egg.

Chicago isn’t just a deep dish city, as evidenced by Robert’s. The highlight at this pizza place is the flavorful, airy, slightly crispy thin crust. You'll find a variety of pies on their brunch menu, like smoked salmon and huevos rancheros, along with unlimited mimosas and dishes like chilaquiles. Plus, they have a lovely patio on the water that has a view of Navy Pier.

This Asian-fusion vegan spot in River North is the rare plant-based restaurant where the food is really good and enough of a scene to earn its downtown address. Planta Queen's space is sleek, plays thump-y club music, and the long menu is full of dishes that are objectively tasty, whether you’re vegan or not. There’s a scallion pancake egg wrap, spicy tuna hand rolls, banana waffles, and bottomless brunch cocktails like sake sangria. For a boozy brunch with friends, this large space has plenty of big booths.

Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba! is the River North outpost of the original in Lincoln Park. Expect the same tapas concept—a large menu, ample portions that are easy to split, and solid Spanish classics—plus a lively space where no one will be annoyed if your friends get rambunctious after too many glasses of sangria. $30 bottomless sangria is enticing, but so are the special weekend brunch tapas like fluffy torrijas with blueberry-lemon compote and crispy patatas bravas garnished with a sunny-side-up egg. Especially when they’re eaten on the sunny patio. 

The Deal: Bottomless red or white sangria glasses for $30 (with food purchase)

We're fans of Tanta's brunch, so we were delighted when they started offering a bottomless deal. It's $38 per person for unlimited mimosas, which includes the booze and a selection of two juices: either orange and chicha morada. $20 more will also get you a Peruvian brunch dish including things like arroz con chancho, dulce de leche french toast with pisco-infused berry compote, and steak and egg chorrillana.

The Deal: Bottomless mimosas for $38 ($58 for bottomless mimosas and one brunch special)

Recess in the West Loop is a theme bar and restaurant that’s good at its gimmick, so it doesn’t feel forced or over-the-top. The theme is literally “school recess,” which means the space is brightly colored and has games like giant Connect 4. The brunch has fun starters like chicken and waffle fries, and dishes like lemon ricotta pancakes or breakfast burritos. The space is huge, including an outdoor patio and plenty of tables. It’s a great place to day drink, or for lots of different activities, like bags or Jenga.

This Italian restaurant is one of our favorite options for bottomless brunch in Hyde Park. Ascione is always busy, the service is friendly, and the menu is filled with dishes like linguini carbonara, Nutella French toast, and gnocchi topped with pork belly and a poached egg. The restaurant is nice enough where you can get a little dressed up for some day drinking, but you can also come here in your workout clothes before going home to go back to bed.

The Deal: Bottomless mimosas for $18

Bandit is a spot in the West Loop that feels like a party, but is still low-key enough for a casual brunch to listen to your friend confess they’re secretly glad they had to cancel their wedding last year. For $35, you can get unlimited mimosas and Bloody Mary’s or Maria's, along with dishes like eggs, chicken and waffles, and chilaquiles. One of the best things about this place? The bathrooms are decorated with wall-to-wall posters of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, respectively.

Lark in Northalsted has a fantastic plant-filled back patio, and on the weekends hosts drag brunches or has live DJ’s spinning themed soundtracks like “‘90s” or “girl groups.” You can get bottomless mimosas, Bloody Marys, sangria, and bellinis for 90 minutes. And oh yeah, there’s food too—eggs, biscuits and gravy, breakfast pizza—you get the idea.

The Deal: Bottomless mimosas, bellinis, Bloody Marys, sangria, and select canned cocktails for $32

Park & Field has a buffet to go along with a $50 unlimited drink package of mimosas, rosé, and beer. The buffet has things like waffles, omelets, charcuterie, and benedicts. Plus, the giant patio has Adirondack chairs, fire pits, and a camper-turned-bar.

This busy Spanish spot in Fulton Market is originally from New York. And while the food at Boqueria isn’t very memorable, their sangria is, and overall, their brunch deal is pretty great. For $25, you get your choice of bottomless mimosas or sangria with the purchase of food. They also have a deluxe deal for $35, which comes with all of the above plus Bloody Marys, Estrella, or shishito margaritas.

If you’ve lived in Chicago for any stretch of time, you’ve probably been to El Mariachi in Lakeview. The large back patio is a popular spot for group get-togethers, specifically the ones that involve day drinking. While the OK Mexican food here isn’t going to win any awards (the menu has standards like breakfast burritos and tequila french toast), nothing costs over $16.99. So, honestly, you really can’t afford to not come here.

The Deal: Bottomless mimosas $19.99

This upscale French restaurant is located inside the Pendry in the Loop. And they have bottomless brunch daily—this includes mimosas, Bloody Marys, Aperol spritzes, and rosé, and serve things like duck and waffles with honey and butter, and a croque madame. So, if you have out-of-towners visiting, consider meeting them here for a fancy brunch before taking them around the city for some boozy sightseeing.

We didn’t see this one coming, but this rather quaint French restaurant in the Gold Coast has a pretty affordable ($24.50) mimosa special for brunch. Bistronomic has dishes like eggs benedict and avocado toast and offers a quiet alternative to partying with a bunch of unruly drunks. There’s also a 90-minute limit—so it’s for sophisticated drunks with excellent time management skills.
