frozen #1 - salted mango, real del valle tequila, lime
Joanna O.

Great open air spot for grabbing a cocktail. Vibrant space with friendly staff. Good happy hour options- including empanada snacks!

rey campero mezcal!
Diana K.

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!

lavender latte and donuts

(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

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.

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.

Chicken and green Chile empanada
Khadijah H.

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.

Bar & Menu
Reyna R.

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.

coffee* - horchata, averna, cañada oaxacan rum, 4lw cold brew
Quiana S.

Great vibes and drinks. Looking for a spot for a quick drink with friends this is your spot. A little loud but in a good way. Bar team was very friendly and informative.

Gin and soda
Shannon P.

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!

Katie G.

You have to get the Ube latte. Seriously so good. I want to go back to get another, and my friend literally got one to go as we were leaving she loved it so much. It was sweet, but not too sweet and the perfect summer drink out on their patio.

Step off the streets of Chicago into a beautifully dimly lit fondue experience is so cozy inside…read morewith the music of a live Spanish guitar that really create a private magical experience. All the premier dinners come with salad, cheese, fondue, and the chocolate fondue - You are just choosing what protein you would like. The Prince Geja combination has a little bit of everything. However, we most liked the seafood which includes lobster and the scallops were to die for! Also the beef also cooks well. Favorite dipping sauce included the pimento mayo, chimichurri, and garlic butter. The cheese fondue is quite rich and the bread is quite filling so maybe get as much cheese as you can on each piece of bread. The chocolate fondue, I think is actually the best course as the Belgium chocolate melts so well and has a decadent but not overly sweet flavor. It pairs well with all that is provided for dipping, which includes poundcake, rice Krispies, strawberries. They also have some liquor that they light on fire at first so you can roast the marshmallows. It is such a well thought out experience. Service flows very well from two waiters who take your order set up your fondue pots for each course, but be prepared to spend at least 2 hours on this experience. Check out the Groupon but also I read a review that they just tack on the extra $50 so it's not really too much of a savings. Not sure if this is true.

Had a fantastic evening at this classic spot!…read more Food was super tasty and fresh! The seafood was probably my favorite! The full dinner with chocolate and cheese was perfect! Also appreciated that they were accommodating for the vegetarian in our party. Everything except the cheese course can be made vegan friendly as well. The service was top notch! Appreciated that they called me ahead of time to confirm our reservation and ask about food allergies. All the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They were quick to refill items and answer any questions we had. The location is classic fondue restaurant, cozy and romantic. However, also perfect for catching up with a friend. I love the history in this place and really enjoyed the mood lighting. Pricing was fantastic for the quality of service, food, and drinks! Look forward to many happy returns!

Back Again - Gemini Pt 2, but this time for brunch!…read more I enjoyed my first dinner experience here so much last week that we had to come right back to try their weekend brunch. From the start, the hostesses were inviting and lovely. The restaurant is very pretty, warmly blending a modern style with a touch of classic French bistro elegance. I'm mostly so impressed with how versatile the restaurant actually can be, shifting seamlessly from an elegant, upscale dinner setting with its beautiful U-shaped marble bar to a bright, whimsical, and enchantingly airy brunch setting. The fully opened bifold windows are adjacent to the pergola-topped patio, letting a glorious, cascading breeze drift through the space to create a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and a lively weekend energy. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered: Super Green Vegetable Salad: The kale, broccoli, avocado, asparagus, and peas were crisp and fresh. We loved this so much during our first dinner visit last week that we had to order it again for brunch! Spectacular! Nova Lox Platter: The wild salmon topped with diced red onion, capers, and hard-boiled egg crumble, served with an everything bagel and a side of chive cream cheese, was excellent. French Onion Frittata: The rich gruyère and caramelized onions were wonderful. If you're a French onion soup lover like me, this is a can't-miss!! Definitely will be reordered and often. Fantastic! Daily Omelette: Ordered from the special menu, featuring black truffle salsa, mascarpone, and Calabrian chile honey. It was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked, and the flavor combination was incredible. Our server, Sarah, was excellent and made the experience even better - we even share the same name! The management team was also incredibly warm and attentive, stopping by our table to welcome us back. Returning twice in one week says it all. This restaurant has made it into my regular rotation and is hands down one of my new favorites!

Not too shabby. I…read morelike this place for an impromptu early dinner. I've been twice and always sit outside in the patio area. The restaurant itself is pretty as is the outdoor dining area if aesthetics are important to you. Service is also great. Food wise...good portions overall. However, all I want is a little bit more: a little more butter for the delicious bread, a little more time in the oven for the Brussel sprouts to soften them up, and a little more cream to accompany the carrots. Also, a few more croutons in the Caesar salad! All that being said, the steak was well seasoned and who can ever object to a tasty side of fries? Dining here, you're getting a healthier experience as opposed to heavy seasoning, butter, sauce, etc, but it's good overall.

Right before starting writing this one, I wrote a review for Kibbitznest, another phenomenal…read moreChicago bar with a totally different theme and vibe. That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.
