About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for happy hour
  • Kid-friendly
Briny Swine Chicago is a seaside-inspired smokehouse and oyster bar in the heart of Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood featuring Carolina-style barbeque, seafood and Lowcountry classics, served with a side of sass. It’s a local joint where friends and family gather to laugh and forget about life in the big city while they get in on some Southern hospitality and good eatin'. Rosé, bourbon, cocktails and beer are aplenty...and on a steady flow.

Whether you’re on vacation, passing by after a long day of work or catchin’ the big game, Briny is that place where all are welcome, from all parts, and no one cares about the rest.

Y’all, leave your worries at the door, take a seat, enjoy fine swine, wine and oysters while listening to the sweet sounds of rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass and honkey tonk.

We’ll take care of the rest.

    Fairly slow service /understaffed for a Sunday brunch. Food is ok but not worth the prices. Very loud inside.

    The food was tasty, the service was lacking. While there on a Sat PM, the place was not crowded and it didn’t appear they were short-staffed. We were told they were out of pulled pork for our platter for 4, but we could order sandwiches. We semi-jokingly asked if we could have pulled pork sandwiches without bread and were told we could. That makes no sense and we opted to let it go. We were not asked if we wanted a cocktail refill and had to ask for water refills. Know the place had been open for a bit, hope it survives, but concerned it won’t with this type of service. No need for us to rush back.

    We had a wonderful time at Briny Swine. The food is fantastic North Carolinian BBQ. Absolutely delicious. We went for lunch during a live music event and it was wonderful everyone was having a good time. If you’ve been wanting to try, now is the time. Get to Briny Swine.

    Understaffed all around, wait time for food and drinks slow. Everything was salty. Bbq ribs and wings reheated and had a shiny glaze like they were reheated in a deep fryer, not fresh, terrible. Oysters Rockefeller looked cooked but cold, must be frozen and not heated through. Corn bread had horrible smell. Basically all the food was inedible. Overcharged for food with discretionary pricing from bartender. Had to dispute our check with owner. Would not go back.

    Great atmosphere, busy so service was very slow (but they paid for our first round of drinks as an apology), was satisfied with the food and it was reasonably priced for the quality of the food! Will be returning :)

    They got off to a rough start last year, but they’re doing so much better now! The food was outstanding, service was great.
