I love a good cocktail bar, and this spot definitely delivers. I am already a fan of Erick Williams…read morerestaurants, so I was excited to check this one out, especially after learning it focuses on tequila and mezcal, which are my favorites. It is also conveniently located on the same block as two of his other spots. I have been twice now and had a great experience each time. I am especially glad they did away with the reservation deposit. It makes planning a visit much easier. Most recently, I stopped by for their all day Sunday happy hour, which was a great vibe. They have expanded the food menu since my first visit, and everything I tried was solid. The empanada was my favorite, the quesabirria was really good, and the chicken torta was delicious. On my first visit, I only had the guacamole, which I also enjoyed. The decor is beautiful and intimate, creating a great atmosphere, and the music is always on point. The staff has been friendly and welcoming every time I have gone. This place is definitely staying in my regular rotation.

We tried the Jushu which I loved the glass it came in and the drink was great but definitely not mango-y. My friend ordered the tamale and I tried just a bite to see. We think it's not very spicy and wish the tomatillo came through more. For me as a vegetarian, I think this is a great place to get drinks but I wouldn't come here expecting a full dinner. Which, I think is the point with their small menu! Everything came out super fast, everyone was very attentive. It was early on a Saturday so it was very quiet but they had good music playing. Definitely a cute addition to the neighborhood!

The escovitch snapper was absolutely delicious. Crispy, seasoned perfectly, and topped with the right amount of pickled vegetables. I literally ate the whole fish without struggling once . That alone tells you everything. The cabbage was flavorful, the rice hit, and the cornbread? Whew. Easily some of the best cornbread I've had at a restaurant. Soft, buttery, slightly sweet... dangerous honestly. The drinks are good too, and the whole place has a vibe. Good music, good energy, just an overall feel-good atmosphere whether you're pulling up for brunch, dinner, or drinks with friends. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

The line to get in was a bit long (however covered since it was raining which was nice). The venue is located upstairs so we waited along since a long set of stairs with everyone else. The security here wasn't rude or anything which was a good sign from off the bat, and once we got inside we had a lot of space to roam around towards the back when we wanted drinks or whatever which made it easy to not stress about needing to be at the very front of the dancing floor space. Drinks weren't outrageously expensive which was nice, and we genuinely had a good time here! We saw Chance the Rapper make an appearance in the crowd and he was standing right by us which was super cool! Overall - nice space, and I know they always have events here and apparently food(?). I didn't see food, but I see reviews mentioning food. Anyways, would recommend.

The cauliflower appetizer had tremendous flavor and was also artistically plated. Delish'! Our other app, deviled eggs, were, well, deviled eggs that reminded me of many a church basement. But, it too had an artistic delivery to it. The étouffée was tasty and nicely prepared w grilled (not boiled) shrimp. It's a lovely atmosphere and not overly noisy for how many people it holds. If I were to make any complaint it is that the overhead lights are turned on fully & brightly at 10 pm. Not a gentle increase over a few minutes but an immediate, full-on "get out, go home, leave NOW" feeling. Considering the prices and the otherwise wonderful evening, not cool. What gives Mesler? :-( All in all, a fun experience with tasty food. Don't not go, there is lots to like, but be sure you are done & gone by 9:58. Sincerely, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL

Hello I feel something has gone wrong to change. About a neighborhood restaurant called Mesler…read more It's a small restaurant that serves the Hyde park community but as everyone is aware the a part of the city of Chicago that is frequent but a nation of people due to the facts that the Obamas once lived in the area. Anyway, I never eaten there but I attended with my small family of 2 and was turned away due too I needed to make reservations!!! Oh , they due accept walk-in, but it's and one hour wait and longer, I guess if the sitting guest doesn't feel the need to eat and leave. Because there's a Bar that guests may want to have cocktails while eating before and after. The fact of the matter it's a big restaurant but two third of it is closed during breakfast and bunch but open fully at 2pm. It's a turn off for breakfast eaters while still no place to seat and wait your one hour or more time to be seated. It not a good hospitality Kitchen. Something need to change.

They charge by time instead of game, which I can't really decide if I prefer or not. They charge $1 per minute, so it's $60 for an hour. With just two people, we got through like 3.5 games, which I think is pretty decent. The pins do kinda take a lot of time to reset. I like that on the screen they have how fast your ball went, which pins you knocked down, and how many. They also have the timer up on the screen, so you never have to guess how much time you have left. It was a very intimate and cute atmosphere. Didn't get to try the food, but their menu looked really good! My only gripe would be for the staff to be a bit more attentive/readily available. The bumpers were still up on our lane, we wanted them down, and we couldn't find the guy who helped set us up until like 35 minutes into the game. Very kind staff, though!
