About

Handcrafted, playful, and rooted in Rockford.

You’ve found Culinary Underground, Rockford’s NEW restaurant and bar where bold flavors, craft cocktails, and local energy come together. Our American-style dishes and drinks take nostalgic favorites and give them a clever twist — thoughtful, unpretentious, and just a little bit rebellious, exactly like the city we call home.

The room itself is part gallery, part playground: murals, vintage photographs, games, and neon that invite you to linger and laugh. We’re here for locals, late-night diners, and anyone who believes great hospitality should be colorful, creative, and a little loud.

Park it, pour it, let the good times roll.
