I came here on my own to check out their happy hour because I have heard good things but I was a…read morebit disappointed. I came in right around 5pm so it wasnt very busy yet. I ordered the horchata 2 ways cocktail which was $12 for haply hour and is typically $16. $12 is the highest amount for a happy hour cocktail that I have ever paid and I dont think it was worth it. The 1st sip was good but it was a very sweet drink and I was over it by the end. The drink also was half a very heavy cream so when you drank it you were drinking the liquid but not getting much of the cream. So you either had to lick the cream off the top or drink on the liquid and then either leave the cream or somehow scoop it out with your tongue so not really a well conceived cocktail. One of the fun and unique things about the bar is they bring out free tapas every once in a while similar to bars in Spain. They brought out edamame to the people at the bar right around 5pm and a group next to me asked at around 530pm if more tapas would come out and the bar person said the come out every 45 mins. I was there til around 630pm and another round of tapas never came out so do not expect that if you go. They did not give you water unless you specific ask for it which I though was odd, I heard 3 groups besides myself at the bar who had to ask for water, especially since this is supposed to be a nice cocktail bar and this is just one of my pet peeves but the water did not contain ice and was closer to room temperature which is not how I enjoy my water. Despite not being super crowded I had to ask for the check from 2 different people and it took 15 mins for them to bring it so if it is crowded I expect they will have pretty slow service. They do bring you a fortune cookie woth your check where you can potentially win a discount on your check or other prizes which is fun. Unfortunately the fortune cookie tastes a bit stale. I would say that this place is not worth it for happy hour but it had a cool but very dark vibe in there so it might be good for a romantic date depending on how good the food is.

Remedy is excellent. From the giant fish tank behind the bar to the sign outside that just says…read more"BAR", you'll know this place's vibe the second you step inside. The happy hour is pretty much unbeatable here, EVERYTHING is half off. I can walk out of there after an hour of drinking having only paid ~20 bucks, including tip. On top of that, the cocktail and beer selection is really solid. And, the music is always bumpin' and seems to be whatever the bartender on shift likes, which I think is great. Can't say enough about the service here. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and efficient behind the bar. This place is truly a hidden gem on Milwaukee ave.

Ordered the "Asshattan" which was basically a really well-made Manhattan... Strong, delicious, no complaints. The space is small but cozy. Loved all the plants hanging around everywhere. Overall, solid spot for decently priced cocktails (they had specials/happy hour advertised too). Good vibes, friendly bartender... can't really ask for more than that.

My guess is that on the weekend you might want to get a reservation. The concept of a Midwest Topography based menu was brilliant and engaging! I loved reading through the full book, there is such richness to the descriptions and Midwestern rootedness! You can also just skim through and find the drink that sounds the best to you if reading isn't your favorite (). My husband got the Cattails drink and I got the Water Lily. His was bursting with tropical juiciness and mine was complex with umami and floral flavors. We both loved our drinks and were sad we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely be back again in the future, and come with hungry tummies for some of the delicious sounding bar snacks! The space is intimate and warm. Great for intimate gatherings, not for big groups. Clean and tidy. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and collaborative. We loved it and look forward to our next visit!

Bar Bambi just opened a little over a month ago in West Town. Of course we came for the cocktails,…read morebut we also wanted to get something to eat so figured we'd try the food as well. We were greeted by the owner, Katie, who I was excited to see there. She brought our food to us and asked us how everything was. I hope this bar becomes more popular because the food and drinks were amazing and very unique, and the ambiance was super fun. The first cocktail I got was a margarita with mezcal, and it was probably one of the best margarita cocktails I've had. The second cocktail I got was called skinny dip, which was a cream soda cocktail. It was soooo delicious and to me it kinda tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. Both are definitely new favorites of mine worth coming back for. For food, I tried the fried pickles, chicken nuggets, and french fries. The fried pickles were the most interesting fried pickles I've ever had. It's funny because I was expecting them to be like regular fried pickle chips and the guy next to me was also expecting that, but instead came out fried pickle spears over a tangy spicy sauce and topped with a blend of shredded cheese. They were definitely some of the best fried pickles I've ever had, and all the flavors just worked together. The chicken nuggets were perfectly fried and crispy, and the white sauce + sesame oil combination on the side was delicious. I don't typically see chicken nuggets offered at restaurants or bars, and I thought it gave a nostalgic, childlike vibe to the restaurant which I love. I think more restaurants need to start offering their own chicken nuggets for adults (if they are this good!), because it truly is a great bar snack. Lastly, the french fries were hot and fresh. They looked similar to McDonald's fries but tasted 10x better. The mayo and herb oil they serve on the side was delicious. The service was also great. Everybody at the bar was very attentive and friendly. Hazel and (I forget the other girls name but I think it started with an A) were extremely nice and always checking on us!

Anyway, a friend brought me here and of course it was filled with people taking pictures of cocktails! I have to say some of the best service and best cocktails ever in Chicago. Definitely a good date spot. I had this cocktail that they make with olive oil on it. It was insane. The oil is in an ice cube and drips out as you drink. Maybe basil too? Idk. So good. I think it might be my favorite cocktail I've ever had. It might have been called the Mandela Effect? Anyway, it was wonderful. The other cocktails were good as well. I took a picture of one and I think it was called the Miss Scarlet. That one was a bit sweet for me, but the Mandela definitely try that. Very interesting. Coming back for that one and others soon!

We watched our waitress make multiple attempts to pick up my husband's drink from the bar, spill, set it down, pick it back up and spill more, and finally give up and run it to us. As she set down this sticky, wet, under-filled mess, I asked her exactly how much of my husband's $16 cocktail she had just spilled. She said, "Yeah, the bartender over-poured," and walked off.
