The atmosphere was great . 7:15 reservation stage view seating show starting 8:30 with only 3 “ dances “ show was done before 9. Bill was 100 for two beers and two non alcoholic drinks

Very cool vibe in there. DJ was great and cocktails were great. Biggest disappointment, however, was the fact that they advertised “shows” yet only 1/4 of the capacity can actually see said show due to the poor layout. Our group was seated in the second room and you could not see any of the show. When you try to stand and come up towards the front, the staff yells at you. Maybe reservations should make it clear if you have a show view or not or at least have separate shows for both seating areas

Spent my birthday there It was cute. The drinks were pretty nice. But the place was tremendously smaller and situated nothing like the pictures on their site. The burlesque “show” was more like a burlesque snippet. It was okay but not somewhere I will purposely seek out again.

I have to say this place was not what I was expecting at all. First of all, there was no warning anywhere that they were closed till 11 pm because of the private party. Since we came to Wicker Park to get into Bordel, we decided to grab a bite right downstairs at Black Bools, which is the only plus to this place!Second, they had a very loud instead of speaking easy Tuesday when that finally opened! Too many people in that tiny space. The band was not playing, which was why I wanted to go to that place. And the bartender was rude when I complained about it. He said that since I've already waited 2 hours, I can wait another 30min till the band starts playing. It was the last drop, and we just left.Also, I was not too fond of the layout of the place, and you can only see the band or performer if you sit in the first part of the place and only can order a drink from the bar if you are in the second. I mean, really?

Second floor from Mama Delia restaurants and entrance door behind the green grass wall. Seat so comfortable but for drinks not for eating food and food brings from downstairs restaurant. Really good cocktails and mocktails. Intuitive and fast services. Price was not bad at all but charging 3.5% credit card fee. It's look better than staff support?

my newest favorite wine bar. huge place! lots to look at. the patrons are nice, staff is super friendly. our server was knowledgeable on the wine and cheese selections, and didn't rush us when we took a while to make our decisions. the menu is very extensive, certainly something for every palette. the wine flights are my favorite!! i want to go back to try all of them eventually. great variety in varietal and geographic sourcing. definitely recommend for anyone in the city that loves wine.

What's not to like? A variety of wine country tasting rooms all in 1 location. The location is great and the space itself is very cool. A good selection of wineries to choose from as well. This place gets a rare 5 star review from me.

Zero stars. This place sucks!!! Staff is extremely rude, unprofessional and classless. They talk to their guests like trash and just want your money. You will pay $15 per person in your group on show nights for a 15-20 min show and after 30 minutes as soon as the show is over you will get kicked out once your tab is closed, even if you are still finishing your drink. Will never come here again. Place has changed drastically.

Biggest disappointment in a long time. The ‘show’ times weren’t listed so we made a reservation way too early with awful food choices and waited for a ‘show’ that wasn’t at all as advertised. A pathetic excuse for a charged entertainment. Waste of our time, and a huge waste of our money as on top of the entertainment charge, the drinks were overpriced and awful

Was extremely disappointed by this place. Was charged $15 each for an “entertainment fee” that lasted 15 minutes (a rando dude tap dancing). Drinks were straight up bad, and wayyyy too expensive. So much so that I ended up sending back almost everything we ordered and got generic drinks instead. Food options were also horrible and overpriced (sardines and oysters). Spent over 4 hours here waiting for more entertainment that never came. Save your money and bar hop instead.
