The drinks here are amazing! I love the happy hour deals and the vibe in here. The smoky bear drink we got was really cute and we've never seen anything like that before. The only con is that the music here at night was bad and sometimes it's hard to get a table here around 5-6.

Totally fantastic! Our bartender Hasus was fabulous! Took time to explain the menu, and between service if a fairly busy Saturday night spent some time as other bar staff also did with us, drinks, and our appetizers were fabulous and spot on! Highly recommended this place, spacious, clean, and fabulous service! Will definitely return!

This place is a such a vibe! Dark lighting and covered windows gave it a speakeasy feel, and the drinks were delicious. I may have had one too many espresso martinis.

We stumbled across this place after dinner and quickly realized it is one of the coolest cocktail bars in town! We had so much fun trying out iterations of Old Fashioneds. All of them were so good. The vibe here was fun and respectful. All of the bartenders had great energy (and these cute little heart tattoos). BIG shoutout to Craig the bouncer (I told you I would mention you!). We will be back again - hopefully soon!

This is a great, elegant bar/lounge. Great for socializing in a sophisticated environment with friends. Cheapest beer is $7, and glass of wine $12. Not cheap. This had a chance of being a 5 for me in the city, but the lady bartender gave me some attitude after I asked her how much a glass of rose costs. Wasn't even for me.

Really fun spot with great friendly service and good music. I enjoyed the high ceilings and the crowd at the bar. Happy Hour drinks are extremely good value at $10 per cocktail for selected items. Definitely hope to come back.

I had a great time. I planned a last minute birthday celebration and they were very accommodating. Everyone loved the ambiance, atmosphere, food, cocktails, music, etc. The crowd is diverse. The music is diverse as well. Everyone asked how I found out about this place. I look forward to going back.

Went here to check out the mural I saw posted on Facebook and boy is that one amazing peice of art! The depth and color gradients are just unreal. Heard some serious tunes coming from inside and was hungry so went in to check it out for the first time. Food was absolutely excellent! I had chicken fingers, I know I know kids food but I love chicken fingers and so does takuto so s&$K it lol. They were bomb asfk btw I loved them. Takuto also approved of his leftovers and gave two barks of gratitude. The vibe in this place is tight and super chill. There were a number of hekkin good djs spinning some real awesome trance and dance. Met the artist that did the mural luckily! Illdes is his artist name and he was super cool. Very down to earth and kind. Also got to meet several employees and the owner and every single one of them was amazing. Hard to find a nice club like this in the city. Welcoming comfortable vibes, good food, reasonable drinks, hekkin good staff. I don't be throwin five stars to just anyone for just any reason. They earned it. Go see the mural, stay for a good time, thank me after when your like dang takuto and mark were hella right. You stay classy Chicago

Delicious drinks! The bartenders showed us an amazing time too. I was there on a Birthday date and the bartender was especially nice. We were super lucky to get a bar seat. MAKE A RESERVATION! The drink names are especially fun ?

This is definitely the spot if you want great drinks, good music and a sexy relaxed atmosphere! On the nights they have live music, its pretty much legit! Hot spot!
