Very fun bar in the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago. We went for a friend's birthday and had…read morethe best time at the open bar! I really loved their alcoholic milkshakes and was so stoked that those were part of it as well. All employees were really awesome and really seemed like they were enjoying their time working! I loved the free mini bowling that they had. The only issue was that the balls kept getting stuck every few rounds, so we would have to get an employee to come help us out. Other than that, it was really a great time and a fun atmosphere. I cannot wait to come back soon!

A hundred times "yes" I will come here again. Kindest service and the retro interior is just…read moreadorable. I could literally have sat here all nice enjoying all the amazing drinks they whip up. It's such a great spot for gals.

I loved this bar! A group of us came in on a Saturday around 1:30, it was empty (andddd making this…read morereview is how I find out they opened at noon, so keep that in mind lol) the person at the door was friendly, the bartenders greeted us immediately, so I was sold within 30 seconds. Before I get into the drinks, the space has a nice vibe, and I love that they play records! And my favorite part, Rotating purse hooks all along the bar, and at the tables! All other restaurants owners, bars, take note, rotating!!!! It makes a huge difference! The drinks were tasty and the bartender was knowledgeable and kind. I'm not in this area often, but maybe I'll try out the Fulton market location one day. Based on the drinks I would recommend, but take my review with a grain of salt since it was like a VIP experience with how empty it was

Had to stop by Estereo once we saw the open windows and cute bar set up with rainbow lights on the…read moreceiling. Their drinks were great and the ambiance with the open windows was just what I needed. They have many craft cocktails to choose from but I settled on a traditional Moscow Mule and it was still 10/10. Music was good and not too loud so you can still have a conversation with the person across from you without yelling. Service was quick and friendly.

Heard about this place with live music and craft cocktails and was really excited to check it out…read more Went with a few friends on a tuesday night for the Kabir Dalawari Quintet. The show started at 9pm, so we got there right around 8:30. There was plenty of seats when we got there (though it did start to fill up by around 9:15/9:30). It's no reservations and no cover, which I think makes the experience a little more relaxed. I ordered the red diamond cocktail, which came with mezcal, cognac, hibiscus, lemon, lime, & absinthe. The flavor mix was really good and I'm hoping to try more drinks there. The jazz quintet was great as well. We just stayed for the first set which lasted until about 10:15, but really enjoyed the skilled musicianship. Definitely enjoyed my experience a lot and hope to be back!

We went again last night, and my husband and I had a table and sipped on a few drinks. We were enjoying the music and talking, but the music just got louder and louder to the point we were screaming across the table to hear each other. I just got more irritated, and we decided to leave.

Went to on a Sunday for bottomless brunch to celebrate with family and friends for our anniversary…read more Food was amazing and the mimosas were spot on. Nick was awesome. Came back for some drinks with friends after leaving a local restaurant and did a round of shots as a night cap. Nick was there and was extremely friendly also the other bartender was a vibe. We will be back for sure!

"Welcome back." I…read morehesitate. I know with absolute certainty that I have never stepped foot in Chicago. Yet, the bartenders greet us with such a warm and friendly energy that I know with absolute certainly that I have been a regular at this bar for years. Decades. Centuries. I know within my soul that this was my go-to bar in a past life (and hopefully in the next). Just as welcoming as the awesome people are the $1 PBRs and $3 shots of tequila. And of course they hand out free hot dogs every night at midnight, which in my (intoxicated) mind was cemented as the definitive Chicago dog, even if it comes with no toppings whatsoever. And fittingly complementing the amazing energy of the bar is a 10 hour Youtube video of that memed Ukrainian kid dancing at a club playing endlessly on the TVs. Rocking sunglasses and looking like a stud, absolutely grooving without a single care in the world, and effortlessly matching every single song on the bar's playlist. That kid truly embodies the spirit of this bar. No matter what day it is, what time of day it is, or who visits, the bar's energy always works. Vibing to Black Eyed Peas on a Monday night never felt better. Imma be... back one day, rest assured. I genuinely can't wait for the next time I'm greeted with, "Welcome back."

So good. We of course started with the homemade ruffles and French onion dip. For real- I could have drank that dip! The pasta special calibran pepper ricotta and butternut squash ravioli pockets...just shut up and get in my mouth!!!! Me and three others shared a four pasta plates so we could get a taste of a smattering of the options. Two bottles of wine and a very delicious old-fashioned made the dinner complete. Service was terrific and the restaurant was lovely and fresh. It was my brother's birthday and they brought him a slice of a chocolate torte which he enjoyed for free. Such a lovely night - definitely check this place out!

The cocktails are unique and creative; great quality without the crazy price tag. I heard they have DJs on weekends too. Pro tip: Don't miss the famous tamales from Claudio, the Tamale Guy. 6 pieces for $12 is a steal.

A good mix of classics as well as some fun cocktails(a frozen baja blast?!?!) In any case, a decent old fashioned, a wonderful espresso tini, and a fun tiki drink all were savored. I love a place with balance. Like many chi bars it has the "dive bar design" where it isn't a dive bar, but still feels like one. Super fun spot to hang, chat and booze!

They partnered with them for the event and we even had a free shot to try it out. They gave us mini shot glasses and a cute chapstick. Our book was Ninth House for the month of October and we had a raffle to win a basket of goodies including the next book along with tote bags. Our server was amazing and very attentive. She asked us of any dietary restrictions and if we had a preference of alcohol. She recommend a good white wine to pair with our appetizers. The whole resturant was decorated for Halloween and we had the entire back section just for our book club. There were candles and spiderweb and even a cute motion picture background. I had a blast and will definitely be coming back next month for the next book.
