I loved this bar! A group of us came in on a Saturday around 1:30, it was empty (andddd making this review 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 read more

Had to stop by Estereo once we saw the open windows and cute bar set up with rainbow lights on the ceiling. 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. read more

I loved Estereo. We went to Estereo for a little drink pre-dinner at Mano a Mano down the street. The vibe inside was so fun, funky, and cool. There were a few super cute dogs (always love a dog friendly place!). Being from MPLS, it was so amazing to see that Estereo had a drink that donated some of the profits to the Immigrant Law Center of MN!! I loved that they had pisco, too! Amazing pisco sour! Bartenders were kind and quick! Great place to visit! read more

Estereo - Anti-ICE drink - Wine Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've driven past this spot almost daily and finally stopped in last week while hanging with friends. The spot is made cool. The shape of the bar leaves seating around the perimeter and some tables near the large open windows. It makes for wonderful people watching. The upbeat Latin music was a vibe. Their premixed drinks were actually really good. I really enjoyed their mescal and rum based drinks. The service was good. Depending on how crowded the place was, I'd certainly stop back in. read more

awesome space, large triangular bar and with garage doors on the perimeters that all open up. the drinks are just ok but the vibe/music is awesome read more

no food. service is always good but for Juneteenth it was immaculate. s/o to Julian, he took care of us and then did a shot w/ us at the end. I used to live on Linden Pl years ago (way before the Target) and I remember what this place came from, great vibes. read more

Love this spot. Gotta say the drinks here are always amazing. People who know- know. If you're a cocktail lover, this is your spot. Their rum and tequila & mezcal offerings are awesome. I'm going to keep this review a hundred. I come here for their frozen drinks. Namely their coquito. Hands down the best frozen drink in Chicago. The staff is always nice and welcome. Shout out to Lena at Logan Square. Also, they have two locations (Logan Square and Fulton Market). Logan Square all day (just sayin'). If you know, ya know. read more

Estereo - Their frozen drink, coquito, is the best frozen drink in the land. Hands down - Wine Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

What attracted me to this bar was the open-air concept when walking by. Luckily I was able to get a table for my girlfriend and I. I found the cocktails to be strong and unique; definitely eat before or afterwards! I do like the Latin-inspired cocktails and the music was on point. I had no issues getting my check and the drinks were made in a timely manner to be served. I would highly recommend this bar if you are looking for a quick spot in Logan square. One thing I would note is the menu has about 8 cocktails so you are looking for a big menu, you wouldn't find it here. read more

I've had two very different experiences here, making my review a little complex. During my first experience, I was out with two of my girlfriends who were visiting. They went to the bathroom together and were promptly kicked out. Apparently there was a sign on the door that they didn't see stating one person at a time. The staff was very rude about a simple misunderstanding by a couple of out-of-towners. I've never heard of two girls being kicked out of the bar due to going to the bathroom together.. Isn't that what girls do? Makes me think that this place might attract the wrong kind of people.. The experience was hugely off-putting and I would never have come back, except I forgot the name of the bar and agreed a year later.. My second experience was great. The bar tender was super nice and informative. They served some lesser known Latin American Spirits. The menu consists of types of alcohol and the flavor options. I got the Pomegranate Pepper Cachaca and it was a nice change of pace for me, even though it wasn't necessarily "my thing". They played some latin american vinyls on the night I was there. Great vibe! Some of the staff/bouncers seem to be the issue here.. and other reviews seem to concur. read more

Estereo - Pomegranate Pepper Cachaca - Wine Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As a visitor from Los Angeles, walking into a new spot in Chicago can sometimes feel a little intimidating, but Al at the door completely changed that experience for me. From the moment I arrived at Estereo, Al made me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. He has a way of reading people and creating an atmosphere where you feel like you belong, even if you're from out of town. He was professional, respectful, and genuinely went out of his way to make sure I had a great experience. What stood out most was that he didn't just do his job as security... he helped with local recommendations and made me feel like more than just another customer walking through the door. People like Al are a big part of what makes a place memorable, and Estereo is lucky to have someone like him representing the front of the house. read more

This is the perfect place to have drinks before or after going out to dinner. I highly recommend the frozen rum drink! The bartenders are all super friendly. We had an easy time finding seats at the bar! read more

Cute place, cool layout and good drinks. There was a dj last night, and we sat at a corner table. We weren't there for long but would definitely coming back to try out their other drinks. read more

My lovely wife and I have been to Estereo a couple of times now. It has a cool spot at the corner of Milwaukee and Sacramento, good for people watching inside and out. This place always seems to be busy, so that is a good sign. The music is a bit loud, but at least it is an interesting mix. We stopped in on Saturday for a couple of adult beverages and were happy to snag a table with a couple of stools. My love enjoyed her Agricole cocktail, while the Hopewell Italian Ice beer hit the spot for me as it was just like a summer shandy. read more

Exteremely disappointed and shocked. Bar tender working today ignored me and my mother for nearly 30 minutes taking shots with his friends that were visiting him at the bar and completely ignored us, not even a greeting. It was not only unprofessional, but quite rude as well. I work at a bar nearby and will be telling my team to no longer support this place. Sucks because I enjoyed the vibe. Yikes. read more

This would be a great bar to either start or end the night at. We were all obsessed with the Cachaca drink, I think I could've had 10 of them. Perfect balance of not too sweet and still delicious. The only thing was it got very busy very fast and there's not a ton of standing room. Besides that service was good and the drinks were amazing! read more

Cute place for a drink on Sunday afternoon. We came in for a frozen drink because it was hot out. We were able to get a seat at the bar. Our bartender was not very friendly or informative. Felt rushed and unwelcome. We enjoyed our frozen specialty drink but left shortly thereafter. So many places to burn money at...this location was not one on this day. Unfortunate because I really like the Fulton Market location. Drink was a solid 5. Music was good on this occasion. Maybe would go back...maybe not. Federales is across the street and they were so friendly over there. read more

Estereo - Frozen Banana Daiquiri - Wine Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Memo and his team are amazing! We got sent here on a recommendation from a friend in Dallas and it did not disappoint! Ambiance A+, drinks A+, service A+. The space is well planned out, the cocktails are delicious and the staff is friendly. I couldn't ask for anything else. I'll be back in the summer to experience it with the walls open to let the breeze in and have a few more cocktails. read more

Estereo - Paloma, seasonal frozen and the always needed water - Wine Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Al at the door was the best, 10/10 guy. Plus the decorations were cool, would come back another time

We swung by Estereo to quickly grab some drinks after dinner. The place screams Latin America, with the old school colorful furniture, disco lights and Spanish music. We tried the mezcal, the tequila and the cachaca cocktails. The service was fast and the drinks were reasonably priced. The seating is limited so you mostly cannot plan on staying here for long. The food menu is very limited with empanadas being the only option. A decent place to casually grab drinks while you are out and about at Fulton Market. read more

Took forever to get our check. Someone who claimed she wasn't a "bartender" but somehow served us was entirely rude when I asked her for the check. I wish I could've liked this place but I honestly can not fathom the disrespect I received, mind you I was sober while my friends were drinking. Other than the service this place was great. I just wish the lady would've been kinder considering I DID ask nicely for our tab. Also meanwhile waiting for someone to close us out I saw the lady taking a shot instead of asking the bartender to close us out :)... what a wonderful way to end the night indeed. While I understand having a rough night I truly do not understand the attitude behind someone asking to be closed out after waiting a while, when they're asking nicely. Again this place was great but the service was indeed horrible. read more

Love this spot for drinks! Cocktails are delicious and it's a cool atmosphere, especially when the doors are all open. Space to mingle and stand as well as sit. They definitely have a line that builds as they monitor how crowded it gets, which is nice! read more

I really like this place, especially during week day afternoons when it's quiet. The bar staff are always friendly, the clientele interesting, the drinks are awesome and the vibe is cool. If it's available, I highly recommend the hibiscus-tequila cocktail, you will definitely want more than one! read more

This place has been on my list for waaaay too long and I was so excited to stop by on a super chill Monday night. The giant open windows and rainbow string lights drew me in, but I had NO idea I was about to be taken off on a vacation. From the latin music to the tropical drinks, if I closed my eyes it 100% felt like I was on a beach. Yep, you heard me right. Looking for a lil getaway? Just swing by Estereo and it'll take you there. I got the Agricole rum cocktail and OMG it was dangerously delicious, if you know what I mean. I truly could taste all the different awesome elements: passion fruit, lime, and coconut. It was AMAZING. Also props for the pebble ice. Who doesn't love pebble ice? Can't wait to come back!! Seems like a great date spot too, wink wink. read more

Good vibes and good drinks at Estereo! I loved the mezcal cocktail on tap. They were playing salsa music, and everyone was having a good time. The bar service was fine! No complaints! I would definitely come back here again. read more

Meh. The music was good, the drinks were alright. The bartender was a bit sassy. It seemed he didn't like answering questions about the menu... I left after one drink and took my business elsewhere. read more

Cool bar in Logan Square, gives off a very local vibe. The drinks were stiff - so beware. I had a Paloma that I could see right through lol. My friends were all really happy with their drinks. The mezcal selection here was AMAZING (I love mezcal). There is plenty of space indoors. The garage doors were cool to, I could definitely see this place getting a lot of traction in the summertime when they open them up. Service was quick, and good. They were playing awesome music, and the vinyl player was behind the bar so the bartenders were choosing the music - which I thought was a very classy touch. There wasn't a DJ playing but the booth with the technics turntable was dope! read more

Ordered three drinks at the bar total came out to 32 dollars and I paid with card. I left 10 dollars in cash as tip since I'm in the industry and always overtip. Only to check my bank statement and seen they charged another 6 dollars afterwards on my card for tip. Greedy. read more

I have been here a few times on weekday/Sunday night and the vide is chill. The music is great and they even play vinyls sometimes. The bartenders are always nice without being too much and the drinks are delicious. read more

Bouncers are on a major power trip as many of the other reviews state. Followed us outside after we apparently went out the wrong door (it was unlocked obvi) and started screaming at us on the street. Made us walk back to the bar as we were already halfway down the block and go back inside through the other door. Crazy behavior considering this is a bar. If you have a ton of reviews saying your bouncers are a**holes maybe fire them. read more

I've been going to Estéreo for years. I recently went on a Saturday night. When it was 15-20 min before close, one of the bouncers was walking around yelling that the bathrooms were officially closed. This was odd to me because I've never once had experienced that there. A friend and I asked if we could use the bathroom, the bouncer rolled his eyes and allowed us to use it. As I waited for my friend, the bouncer thought it was appropriate to tell me that he was "carrying", meaning he had a gun. I thought this was very odd and made me very uncomfortable. The second bouncer was walking around yelling for customers to hurry up and leave so he could drink. Both of these bouncers were new faces for me as I go here often and have never experienced anything like this. I love Estereo, and this was a one night experience. I just hope this isn't the trajectory the establishment is going. read more

I stopped in here today with a few friends and had a great time! The drinks were delicious! I had a mezcal, which is mezcal and hibiscus. The vibe is like retro, earthy, mescal/tequila bar, with a DJ corner. It's also open until 3am on weekends. ONLY FLAW: the bouncer told us we had to leave because we needed a reservation TWICE and made us leave and then as we were out the door told us he was joking.... read more

Drinks are pretty good while they are making it correctly . I was ordering a watermelon mezcal drink . First one was good it was reddish color. The 2nd one was more pink and had a less watermelon taste . The third one was even lighter in color and taste . I think they either ran out of an ingredient or they were just rushing it and making it wrong. Beer is way overpriced due to it coming in the same cup as a drink. Tiny cup . Security guards are very rude when it comes to closing time. You will be kicked out 25 min before closing time in a very hostile way. Why sell a drink in last call and then kick everyone out 5 min later. read more

HEAR ME OUT - Estereo is a good time if you know what you're getting into. I will go out of my way to find a bar that specializes in mezcal, and this one fits the bill! I love the simple menu on the wall that helps keep service moving (so long as bar patrons know to look for it). You definitely can come here and order a vodka soda, just know if you walk up to the bar and order a Manhattan you're getting eye daggers from the bartender and everyone in line after you. My one grievance with Estereo is that its LOUD. Like scream in the face of your friends loud. Which I dont even want to complain about that extensively because Estereo is a great secondary location towards the end of your night, just don't bring an intimate date here if you're trying to talk to them. The only times I'm here before 11pm are when I'm grabbing a drink to wait for a table at Paulie Gees across the street. read more

Always a vibe. The drinks are balanced and well priced for the high quality. The crowd is low-key, so you could dress in anything from a couture to jeans and fit in since it's just chill hip. The music is Afro-Latin to Cuban beats, but consistently bangin. Not much dancing during the day, but that's typical for the area being so casual. Service is incredible- the bartenders have a 6th sense for when you need another drink. Definitely worth a visit, even from another neighborhood it's worth the trip. read more

The ideal place for a late Friday, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon when you want to relax. Come for the drinks. Stay for the music and the lively conversation. That's the review. What more do you need?! read more

Awesome bar in Logan Square. The bar team was great. The music was retro R&B cool. I had the pleasure of meeting the Symphonical Records Uk team James and Cassandra, that will be re releasing my song this fall. They were spinning records that evening. Ricardo the music director was a pleasure to meet. The club owner was a cool kat with great vibes and engaging conversation. I recommend checking out the club. read more
