    In case you didn't know... this barber shop is a speakeasy! To get in, walk through the barbershop and straight through the secret door. Once inside it's dark, vibey, and has great music and art. Thursday had a solid dj set and a good crowd - not packed, but felt full in a good way. You should definitely visit on the weekends too! It's packed and poppin' with full-on dancing. Drinks? Always a hit. This is a solid go-to for a fun, not-too-basic night out.

    Uno tournament

    Sometimes the best times come unexpectedly. I was just strolling by when I saw the Blind Barber which I already knew was a speakeasy. There were lovely hostess in the front who asked me and my friends if we were interested in an Uno tournament. It was a unanimous decision and we all said yes. We were then taken to the bar area where we were served complimentary seltzers while we waited for our table and Uno session. The music was popping, everyone looked to be having a great time. I love that they printed out the rules of the game as Uno can get a little messy. Me and my crew enjoyed playing Uno and listening to the music. We were served complimentary pizza also. The pizza was just ok, nothing to brag about. I love that they had themed drinks for the occasion. The service was quick, the drinks were nice & the vibes were awesome. I'll be back.

    I love a good speakeasy! This place has a great set up. The barber shop is a functioning business during the day and then a bustling bar at night! The vibe is just right and definitely gives an exclusive feel! The drinks are really delicious as well and they have a good variety to please every member of the group.

    My coworker and I loved this place! They have a killer happy hour from 5-7 Monday through Friday-- cocktails only $8-10. I think most people come later in the evening when it is packed, but they turn up the tunes and have a great DJ there early too. We loved the music, the great bartenders, and the drinks. The Strawberry Fields cocktail was a hit. If you don't mind the red tint to the room, you should checkout this speakeasy. It's a fun place!

    Sidecar

    This was one of many stops this past Friday night. It was my second visit here. Food: N/A Drinks: I had a sidecar with D'usse. I don't know if simple syrup or lemon juice wasn't used but something was definitely missing because the drink was bland. That took me back to my first visit having Jack and Ginger Ale. That was bland. I'm starting to think the alcohol may be all well liquor. It's my personal opinion of course but 2 visits with bland drinks? I did have a shot of something dark and that was cool. The shot was actually better than the drink. Service: The servers were cool and attentive. The drinks/shots all came out FAST! Atmosphere: Chill, music, drinks flowing....it gets loud as time goes by-typical lounge to club energy. Final Thoughts: I wouldn't stand in line so I'd return early for a shot and some music/pregame! There was also a nice employee named Ashley who sat my friend and I at a table. Everyone these days seems bothered and/rude but Ashley was so nice! This review also made me realize that I didn't review my first visit from March. I'm not sure if he's still there but Tee (one of the bouncer's) was nice as well!

    Barber shop by day and awesome bar/speakeasy by night! Perfect place to chill and have some great drinks and listen to music that you can bob your head to. Even an old head like me enjoyed it! Our bartender was great and very attentive and my drink was very potent! I had a nice buzz after two drinks and totally enjoyed the atmosphere. I would totally come here again with a group of friends.

    My friends and I swung by Blind Barber on a Friday night to get some drinks. We had to wait in the queue for 10ish minutes before we got into the speakeasy bar. I liked the entry to this secretive bar which is situated behind a barbershop. Once entered, the bar was definitely packed with alot of people, it was almost chaotic and took us some effort to go to the bar. We all got Kamikaze shots at the bar! We decided to head out in a bit because the place was too packed. I may come back again as the vibe seemed fun, but will probably enter slightly early rather than after midnight to enjoy the place more.

    My friends and I swung by this place on a Friday night around 12:30 AM and to my surprise there was a long queue. It took us close to 15-20 mins to finally enter. They check ID on entrance....This place is like barbershop during day time and cocktail lounge by night so the entrance is a barber shop and there is a door to lounge. The place was packed late at night. We ordered a round of Kamikaze shots. There was a long queue in the restroom too. The song selection in this place was really cool. As it was so packed I left in 30 mins but this is a good place to hang out with friends over weekends...

    Blind Barber is Fulton markets hidden gem. Tucked away behind a functional barber shop, this place brings in the speakeasy elegance with modern day charm. It has artisanal cocktails with the best chubby style fries!! Low lighting with live DJ added to the vibe. My favorite drink was Permanent vacation which had a twist as the coconut milk was clear.

    We swung by blind barber on a Thursday night. We had to wait in line for about 5 mins before getting in. The entryway is so cool. It looks like an actual barbershop. I learnt that it is a fully functional barbershop by the day. On entering, you see an amazing speakeasy! They call it the back room. We tried their gin and espresso martinis and paired those with some fries. The cocktails were great! The service was average as the place was crowded. Everyone was very well dressed, which I loved! Must visit!

    Came here on a Saturday night. We didn't have to wait too long in line to get in. Definitely a fun vibe for the night. Service was okay. Bartenders were okay. Pricy drinks but I guess because it's the city. I do like the concept, functional barbershop during the da and club/bar at night in the back.

    Funk's Barbershop, downtown Chicago…read more Back in town for New Year's. Same trip my wife and I make every year. Same city that feels like an old friend. I needed a quick cleanup on the beard. What I walked out with was something else entirely. This was a full man pampering experience. And I'm not using that word lightly. Beard trim. Clean squared lines. Tight fade. Hot towel. Straight razor shave. Another hot towel. Beard balm and oil worked in slow and intentional. Then a clean aftershave that made the whole thing feel finished. Not rushed. Not sloppy. Done right. Joshua took care of me, and the guy is a surgeon with clippers. Quiet confidence. Knows his craft. Listens. Adjusts. Checks his work. Then checks it again. He also introduced me to Lawrence, the owner. Solid guy. Proud of his shop. You can feel that standard in the place. The vibe inside is Chicago. Cool. Relaxed. Real. No ego, but you know you're somewhere legit. You're not sitting in a chain shop where they push you in and shove you out. You sit down. You get taken care of. You walk out looking like you respect yourself again. And fellas, if you stop in, don't be surprised if you see a Chicago pro athlete sitting three chairs down. This place pulls a crowd. Highly recommend Joshua. Highly recommend Funk's. If you're in town and want to look sharp instead of hacked up, go here. Treat yourself. Let them spoil you. Then go about your night with some swagger.

Kenny Mac's had good reviews and a lot of good pictures so we decided to take a chance on them. Upon arrival, the place was super spacious and clean and the team was really welcoming. There was also convenient street parking and a nice area to sit while you waited for your haircut. Onto the haircut! We had the honor of having Kenny Mac himself cut my fiancés hair. He was super kind and easy to chat with during the haircut. We gave him an inspiration picture and he followed that perfectly, like it was incredibly spot on. He was super thoughtful too, asking questions and going back and forth to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. And the outcome was impressive. I think he will do exactly what you ask him to, so if you're not happy that could be on the customer lol. He recreated the picture we sent him perfectly. The fade was fresh and sharp, and the vibes were good. It was also a good sign that there was a decent customer flow. I was also waiting around and noticed that a lot of other customers had really nice haircuts too so you can tell they really take their time to produce high quality haircuts for everyone, no matter which team member it is. We feel a lot better knowing that we have someone in the city that can do a good job and we are glad that we took a chance on the right person. He also offers mobile services throughout the city so that is really helpful. I really wish we took a fresh picture of the haircut, because now it is grown out, but I think the other pictures you see online reflect the service you receive. Also the prices were really reasonable. I'd definitely try this place out if you're looking for a high quality barber!

However the customer service was sorely lacking. A membership is a different model and certainly a person's hair grows at differing rates. So when my stylist said let's not cut your hair today that was fine. A few weeks later I recieved a text message stating my appointment for that day was changed. This has happened before so I presumed something happened. Typically they reach out but I can't imagine a system errant sending a text for no reason. After I was called for being late to the original appointment time I was confused and spoke with Cassie from the front desk. She was dismissive and disrespectful when I merely tried explaining facts. When confronted her response was she was only being disrespectful because she felt I was being disrespectful to her. A wild thing to say considering the money I was committed to spending and I neither raised my voice, swore etc. After canceling due to her unprofessional attitude she then tried charging for services that were never rendered from the appointments mentioned above. This all could have been easily fixed by her remaining calm, allowing me to send the text, and we chalk it up to a system error. I could have rescheduled the appointment and they'd still have a client. To then even charge for an appointment missed resulting from their system error is disgusting. Thankfully I sent the proof to my band and we resolved it that way. Clearly Cassie has some maturation required for being in customer service. I've overheard her several times at the salon saying she doesn't care about things. And people should know how little they value a membership. Apparently they make less money on members per the stylist so I'm not sure why bother? Anyway go somewhere else where you'll be valued and respected as a client.​​
