All because a few years back my brother took me to his favorite cocktail bar in Detroit and I hated the drinks and was a sourpuss about it he usually refuses to take me to his other treasured places. However I think the holiday spirit got to him a couple of weeks ago because he took me to Consignment which is one of he and his wife's faves. The name is as it says - the bar doubles as a secondhand store and whatever is on display is for sale. I adored it! The service was awesome - I always love chopping it up with Black bartenders - and the crowd was very very queer. I was legitimately in heaven. So much doesn't feel safe right now - especially with the J6 goon squad running amok in Chicago trafficking people. It was nice to be among my people enjoying great drinks in a buzzy atmosphere. Because we are old, we got there by 730 on a Saturday and surprisingly it was already packed! Patience won the day though and within 45 minutes we snagged some stools against the wall. I had a great time here and hope to return! read more

Anyone who enjoys both vintage and a tasty libation will love Consignment Lounge! The decor (most for sale) is outstanding. Some prices were not too bad, but some things were rather costly. While I have so far only been there one time, I would imagine the decor switches often, since it's mostly all for sale. So always something new to see! I got the vibe that many regulars stopped in, as the bartenders were familiar with many faces. The service was excellent, even for us, a couple of first-timers. This bar may not be ideal for large-ish parties, due to how seating is. For instance, we go out often with two other couples, and I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable showing up with a group of six, in case they were busy, and we could not all sit together. I failed to ask if they reserve the bigger seating areas, so maybe that is an option. Draft beer folks may be let down, as they seemingly only ever have three taps, with one being seasonal and not noted on the website. Their "lite" beer option is not listed on the website, but rather noted to be posted on-site. Since this place has been on my radar, Son of Juice is constant on the draft beer menu. Worth noting is that they do have a longer list of bottles and cans. I have not tried any of their craft cocktails, but it's not a bad list. Must mention that they have a cool little basket of vintage pins, in case anyone reading this is into those. I found one that was from an annual tractor pull event near Green Bay, WI that I used to attend almost every year when I lived in the area. read more

Consignment Lounge - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My lovely wife and I checked out Consignment Lounge on a rainy Saturday afternoon recently. We had heard about a mysterious bar on Diversey that also offered vintage items on display that were also on sale, so we had to pay this place a visit. There's a bar and some seating options in the front room. The back room looks like your elder relatives' basement with random stuff on display like clothing, buttons, books about weather vanes, and even some baseball cards. They have a back patio too, and there was a food popup going on during our visit though we did not try anything. We each enjoyed Maplewood Son of Juice brews in these vintage-y glasses, and also some cups of water. We wonder how well the secondhand merchandise moves, and hey you just might want to buy that ceramic camel on display after downing a few adult beverages. read more

What a cute place! Stopped in for happy hour on a Tuesday around 430pm. Deals are pretty good. Cocktails for $8, draft beers for $6 and there was a deal on wine too. The place had a few other small groups around with two bartenders available. Service was top notch and the bartender we spoke with was very knowledgeable about the menu and spirits in general. You could tell he took pride in and enjoyed mixology. read more

I've mostly come for the Pierogi Papi pop-ups (run don't walk) but even without them it's a really chill spot with good vibes for a drink and plenty of cute little tchotchkes to look at. Service has been great every time. read more

I absolutely loved the vibe of this place! It's a cute bar in the Logan Square area with all sorts of items just like in a consignment store. Everything has a price tag and you can buy whatever you want! And the drinks were solid too, some great cocktails! They have small booths upfront and an area at the back to lounge and chill. Very cool lighting as well! Would definitely go back! read more

Great spot! It's full of consignment items, thus the name. Cocktails were solid and reasonably priced. There's tons of cozy nooks, making it a great spot to catchup with friends or as a date spot. I'd come back! read more

Love this place! You can but anything on the walls. Great staff that's very friendly and knowledgeable. I actually felt welcomed. Good drinks with decent pricing. read more

Consignment Lounge is a cozy, chic bar for sipping and marveling at thrifty goods. Step inside & it feels like you've entered a friend's home- it's warm, quirky and trendy (in a relatable way). It's especially homey with the current holiday decor! The cocktails are good. The decor is superb- it's clear the owners put in a ton of detail, from the wooden cutout wall pieces to the custom neon sign out front. There are some character quirks that make it really special, too: glass cases of collectibles built into the bar. Miller Highlife in glass bottles. A beer & shot experience called the Elbow Bump, which appears to be a take on the Chicago Handshake. Even a silly wifi password. The place is quaint- I'd guess it seats about 30. It's perfect for a date or catching up with some pals. You can buy most of the items in the bar- just shop it up and add 'em to your bar tab! This is a new favorite spot, for sure :) read more

Drinks: for sure, Prairie Dawn is worth getting again if you're a big honey lemon fan; the Hurricane Season was alright but not my favorite. it was definitely a mock tail of the Crowd Pleaser which was good but a little more watered down than I wanted BUT WILL BE COMING AGAIN TO TRY DIFFERENT DRINKS (TLDR: Prairie Dawn is def delicious & strong) Ambiance: well lit, adorably eclectic thrift store bar with the basement bar of your grandparents with all the knick-knacks they've collected from their trip across the states; I loved that they had cowboy bebop playing on all of their televisions Overall vibe: 5/5 will be visiting again being the vibe is so versatile & perfect for enjoying a first date, a hangout with a friend(s especially in the living room couch area) and just relaxing; definitely feel like this place is underrated and under reviewed for the amount of thought and energy put into the interior read more

FREAKING OBSESSED with this establishment and the model. Came at the recommendation of a local and it did not disappoint. EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE? How great is that? Their slogan is "More things, more joy" and I have to say I really agree. The drinks are also yummy: got the Prairie Dawn and the man behind the bar was so stinking nice. I felt bad it was just him on a busy Saturday afternoon but he did alright! The back room is more a lounge area that has been styled with all these lovely vintage items and some couches in the center. Vintage TVs play old footage from games and TV shows and there is bar seating plus booths and smaller tables up front. I want to move in. read more

Soooooo funky!!! Love the ambiance, the music and of course the tv playing Twilight. Great for a beer and a shot. Great selection of hats as well. Huge fan read more

Consignment Lounge is a hidden gem in Chicago- it's a treasure trove of thrifted vintage trinkets and knick-knacks that add a unique touch to the ambiance. The service at Consignment Lounge was attentive and friendly, and the drinks were creative and fun. Even on a Saturday night, it wasn't crowded, which made it an ideal place for a relaxed and chill night out. Such a fun place to look for treasures and have a drink in a quiet, laid back setting where you can actually hear people!!! read more

This place is awesome. It feels like you're hanging out at your uncle's house in 1988, except your uncle is cool, lets you drink beer, and doesn't talk at you all the time. Bartender was nice, I just ordered a beer so his job was pretty easy. The back room is where it's at. Very cozy. read more

Love this concept. Super friendly staff and one of the best bar atmospheres in Chicago.

Great ambiance and the nicest bar tender I've come in contact with in the longest time. Super vibey music and amazing decorations that are all for sale. read more

I wouldnt call this place cozy per se, but there was something familiar and comfortable about all the stuff on the walls and the lighting/music volume. I found it incredibly inviting. I like the novelty of "everything is for sale" and would like to think they sell stuff off the walls. we got a few rounds of the Yuzu Ricardo draft cocktail. Well balanced and easily enjoyable. Music was neither commanding or detracting to the ambiance which honestly says to me that both music selection and volume control were very calculated. I really appreciate that someone put thought into the idea that this bar is going to incubate an easy/fun place to have drink and conversation. 10/10 stars. read more

I hosted a happy hour here and had the most amazing experience. I contacted them a few weeks before and it was very easy to arrange. The staff was so kind, the cocktails were delicious, and the space is so cool! Sipping expertly crafted drinks and shopping for cool vintage hats & do-dads? What more could you want?! read more

Great ambiance and service! I ordered the Ricardo Yuzu, and it was refreshing and yummy. Would definitely come here again.

This place makes dranking dreeems come true and all the staff is chill! The owner was cool about us bringing our own vintage jello molds for some jello salad hangs, so you know, its a vibe. Don't sleep on those crafty cocktails and belt buckles Wheeeee Haw Hoo Hootin Toot! read more

This cozy bar popped up right after I moved to Logan. It's grandma and grandpas living-room perfection. It's a bar and thrift shop in one! What more can you ask for? The staff and the crowd is friendly. I probably wouldn't have found it if it wasn't a block away from me. Even if you don't live in Logan, this place is worth the trip. read more

I love the interior. The detail and woodwork was top notch. That's why it gets five stars. The drinks could have had a little more detail for the price. Maybe salt or smoke or something. For $14, I expect over the top. The bartenders weren't even sure how to make them. I will go back. I also wish they had some food. Maybe basic charcuterie or something. I do love the concept. Too many books for sale. I'd suggest more knickknacks read more
