My lovely wife and I are familiar with Estereo in Logan Square, so we were happy to check out its newer location in Fulton Market the other day during Happy Hour (Monday through Friday from 3 to 6PM). Although we did not order any of the HH specials, we were indeed happy to try a beer here without having to shoehorn ourselves into a really loud holiday party crowd. Having said that, the crowd did pick up here once we left at 6PM. I enjoyed my Casa Humilde Media Naranja beer on draft, while my love was good with her can of Monopolio, an IPA from Mexico that I've not previously encountered. Peeps next to us seemed to like their empanadas, which are from Cafe Tola. The big ol' disco ball added vibrancy to the interior. The bouncer was friendlier than the average security personnel, while the bartender was a bit dry. Note the bathrooms are downstairs. Good to see that Estereo gives us another fine option should we want an adult beverage in the Fulton Market area. read more

idk if they had/ have food but they did have some freaky treats in a food warmer of some sort on the other side of the bar, I was kinda interested. We did both Estereo's on Juneteenth. My friend Jacob was DJing. Vibes were vibing fa sho. The service once again was incredible, didn't get the bartender's name but he had an Amiri hat on, he looked out for us and was super cool. read more

I had such a fun time at Estero! My friends and I came here after having dinner in the West Loop. Coming to their Yelp page, I learned that Estero is a coffee bar during the day which is so cool! At night, it's a super lively bar. A DJ was playing fun, Latin music and there was a really fun energy in the place. There is a large menu of specialty cocktails, so I asked the bartender for whatever drink drink was most akin to a spicy margarita (since I didn't see that on the menu). The drink he decided to give me wasn't my favorite -- It tasted like beer on fire (and I'm good with spice!) It really didn't go down easy and I had to abandon it after a couple sips. The drink was beer and jalapeño infused tequila, mango, arbol chili, casa humilde viva la frida hibiscus & lime sour. It wasn't for me but I'm sure it was for someone. After that, I went with a skinny margarita which was great! The atmosphere is really great, and if you're out in the West Loop I definitely recommend! read more

This bar is so cute! It had the cutest decorations with the disco ball and lights. It seems to be a latin bar. They were playing cumbia and salsa when we were there. We ordered a round of drinks with a very attentive bar tender. I got a mango slushee and my friends each ordered different drinks. The drinks were pretty good and the vibes in there was overall so fun and great!They have 2 separate smaller dance floor areas and folks were dancing and looked like they were having a great time. They also have seating at the bar. Would definitely come back and recommend this place to folks. read more

Chill and colorful mezcal + tequila bar with fun disco energy The bartender was super kind, gave a generous pour, and offered great recs! Love that the windows open during the day for a breezy vibe, then close up for a more intimate nighttime feel. Music was mostly good playing salsa/latin beat, and would have been enhanced if it was an actual dj playing music! But overall the vibe was cute and fun. A definite perk was that the prices were a good price point AND there was no cover even later in the night try it out if you haven't been! read more

(G)o or no go - GO! For brunch or to party - Estereo does both and it does it well (W)ow factor- the decor had me screaming! It's styled like an old timey dance bar with mirrorballs, bar seating, velvet curtain, and jukeboxes. Retro and funky is the name of the game here (A)ge- mid to late 20-30s (M)enu - lavendar latte was delicious, I'd love to try their empanadas next time read more

Estereo - lavender latte and donuts - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Truly have never had worse service at a bar. Just walked out with my mom because the bartender blatantly ignored us for almost 25 minutes as he took shots with his friends that were visiting him at the bar. Not only unprofessional, but completely and utterly rude. He looked at us multiple times and a second bartender even came out and also did not even bother to greet us. It is truly sad what the service industry has come to to and that bartender does not deserve that position. We tip well and I come here often but I never will again and will be telling all of my friends who live in Logan to steer clear of this craphole. read more

This small bar is full of Mexican culture and you can tell they strategically select their ingredients. Our bartender was very knowledgeable and patient, we were a group of 7 and took great care of us. Only about half of our group were in love with our drinks, while the other half ordered traditional bar drinks or canned drinks. They are limited on what traditional bar drinks they can make, because as I stated, their ingredients are selective. Their drink menu was definitely unlike any other I've seen before, but just keep an open mind and I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy. I tried the coffee drink and one other. I enjoyed them both, but they are pretty pricey. read more

The interior is very vibey and super cute! We stopped in for coffee around lunchtime and their Ube Latte was fantastic. They don't carry alternative milks outside of Oat Milk so my sister opted into getting their spicy lemonade refresher which was also very yummy. It was perfect for sipping on to beat this hot weather. Their mezcal cocktail was well balanced and was another perfect drink to beat the hot weather. The service was quick and the barista was kind. I would love to come back here at night and have a more cocktail bar feel. read more

Can't say enough great things about this cocktail spot. Very tasty cocktails, well priced. Friendly bartenders. Hip vibe. What more could you ask for? Great meeting spot for friends before heading out to dinner. My wife is lovely and so is this place. read more

The security guard Thursdays is super chill ! Love him but once I came in the Bartender with black long hair is extremely rude, made lots of faces like she didn't like working there or I don't know and just awful to customers! Don't recommend her ! read more

Dropped by during daylight hours, when the crowd is low, to see what the hype was about. Barely anyone was present so service was quick. Our server was super knowledgeable and took time to educate us on certain liquors we never heard of. Ultimately, we settled on frozen #1 and #2. They're the only two drinks that are frozen. Super tasty and incredibly liquored heavy. One tip to note is all the drinks are basically on tap so there's no real concern of getting a "weak" drink during club hours. We paid $30 for two drinks the size of a toddler's sippy cup. While you may leave buzzed, your pockets are going to leave broke. So I wouldn't recommend this as a place to party or pregame. You come here already lit and this would be to top it off. They source their empanadas from Cafe Tola, who I believe has two locations in Chicago. At the original establishment, the empanadas range from $4.55-$6.00 per. Here, with tax, I paid $8.50 for one empanada. Yes, you read correctly. We spent basically $40 for a decent time. I personally wouldn't knock this place but now that I've explored, I wouldn't be inclined to return. read more

What a joke. Joint has absolutely no character or any redeeming quality's whatsoever! Bartender disengaged, high prices, shit clientele and rude door man round out/ end of review. read more

We went in early in the day and were the only ones there. I assume it is much more of a vibe, later in the day. I wish they had a larger variety of specialty cocktails, as only one option actually called my name. I did think it was a little overpriced. The service was very friendly and helpful. read more

This was SUCH a fun place to grab drinks before dinner. In fact. We liked it so much we went back again after dinner too! Bartenders were quick to ask if we wanted another round and were great at suggesting different cocktails to try. I'm not a big tequila drinker and normally stick to gin and soda/gin and tonic but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the few different margarita flavors per their suggestions. Ambiance - pre dinner it was still pretty quiet, maybe half full? So it was very easy to carry a conversation. After dinner it was LOUD. But honestly it fits the vibe so it didn't bother us and it wasn't like I had to shout to the person next to me to be heard. Plus, who doesn't love a disco ball?! All around a great time. We'll definitely be going back next time we're in Chicago! read more

When I found out Estereo had opened a Fulton location I was ecstatic- one of my favorite spots to grab a cocktail in Logan opening up in walking distance to me!! But then I found out they have coffee during the day?! Game changer. If I could make my ideal coffee order it would be an Ube latte made with coconut milk-- and GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE. YOU GUESSED IT! I'll have to add to this review when I can go back and get a pic before chugging it down next time! Gonna be a great summer in Fulton Market! Ps great service here always. Chill staff read more

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They make sitting at the bar fun. The place is kept clean and of course I love the disco balls and open windows. You must try the Breezy. The house soda is so good! want only that mixed drink going forward. read more

Cute bar giving retro vibes on Fulton. Totally reminds me of a bar you'd find walking along South Congress in Austin. Love the cocktails but also that they have a full cafe in the mornings. Great place to sit on a nice day when all of the windows are open. Friendly service. Definitely coming back to try an Empanada! read more

Having frequented the Logan location, I was worried if it would be possible to replicate the same level of quality. That said i was pleasantly surprised at the West Loop bar, it had its own flair and uniqueness you'd expect from Estereo but also different elements that were appreciated . Beer on tap, food options, and new drink Options were some of the many pleasant surprises. Our bartenders were super welcoming and took the time to answer any questions we had. While I love the cocktails they offer, I'd strongly recommend looking at their spirit list, especially the agave ones. Fans of mezcal and sotol will really enjoy the vast selection they haves read more

I've been here many times! And it's always a great choice. The music is usually really good and it's a great place where you can still have a full conversation but also get up and dance. If you are looking for a place to have a good time in Chicago, then this is one of many places to visit! read more

Came here for a drink and the aesthetic is super cute I have to say! It reminds me of a 90s bar with nice pops of color. It was a Thursday night so nothing really happening so super easy to find a spot to sit. It's quite small so I can see it getting busy fast on a weekend night. You have to go up to the bar to order. They had some empanadas sitting in a heater that looked interesting but I had already eaten so I passed on them. It was quite random haha but probably good! The drinks are definitely on the pricey side. The cup you see was $16.77 after taxes and wasn't really worth it. read more

I have been to Estereo in Logan Square and was so happy when I heard they were opening up one in Fulton Market. I will say when it first opened the ambiance was so odd and there weren't menus on the walls and it was pretty bland. I decided to go back after a few weeks to give them a chance to get settled. It doesn't have the liveliness as Logan but not necessarily a bad thing. There is one thing that brings me back though... if you love Frozen drinks then you have to try this combo: They have 2 frozen drinks on the menu frozen #1 - salted mango, tromba tequila, lime and frozen #2 - blackberry, lime, convite mezcal. I ask for a swirl which is both of them (see picture)! It is honestly fantastic and a great drink to grab before going out to dinner at one of the amazing restaurants on Fulton. The bartenders are really nice and very attentive! I never have to wait to grab another drink. read more

The vibe of this bar is perfect. From the stone marble counter tops, to the menus on the wall, to the disco balls and the music that is playing! You will even find some reasonably priced drinks as well. I tried the "Breezy" and that hit the spot just right! Me and a few friends came on a random Sunday, and we stayed a decent amount of time and we had a great waiter as well! Can't wait to come back again! read more

Great place to talk shop and bs with your friends. Drinks are a little expensive for premade cocktails. But I dig the vibe. The door man is nice if you open the door for your lady. They notice! Don't expect this to be family friendly since this is a bar. read more

Finally stopped by to check out this place after walking by in the area numerous times. Definitely was not disappointed! While most know this location as a late night bar hangout with booze and beats, many do not know this one is also open during the day for a more laid back experience. We stopped by on a Sunday morning to indulge in their delicious coffee. I had a "Meryenda" which was an espresso with Ube and coconut milk. My husband had " Manila-tary latte" which had Ube, Matcha, cocoa and espresso with his preferred choice of oat milk. Both were delicious! They also had some empanadas and donuts available but we only got coffee this visit. Loved the chill atmosphere with loungey music, casual in/outdoor seating, windows open to street level on the otherwise busy Fulton Market scene. read more

The physical location and vibe is great. I went out with a friend and I had a great time there. Music wasn't too loud and the bartenders were attentive. Unfortunately I was charged two different times. One was my actual tab which I signed off from the other was additional $66 to my card. I've tried to call to figure out the confusion but there's no number associated with the establishment. Be aware. I will most likely have to contact BBB if I cannot dispute the charge with my bank. read more

Great drinks! Estereo is a good place to start your night out. It's a good vibe any day of the week. Service is always good.

Tbh I would rate 0 if I could. I paid $15+ for a drink that had a special cup to remember my first time in Chicago and the busser that was at the door snatched the cup as I was leaving. I will never be back and don't recommend it since the staff is so rude. read more

My husband and I came here for pre birthday cocktails. Nothing too fancy. We had to walk to the bar to place our drink order and to pick up our drinks, after we had sat at a very wobbly table. No big deal, we were just killing time. I had the Paloma, which was delicious he had some frozen drink with mezcal and blackberry and it was ridiculously sweet and he did not care for it, but he drank it anyway. read more

I've only been here in the evening (before 8 PM or so), so I can't comment on the late night scene. However, I've had good experiences at this place: I like the vibe, the bartenders are helpful and efficient, and it's one of the only places I know in the area that has a solid caipirinha. It's expensive, but so is West Loop. read more
