    Christmas decor
    Clara S.

    Great hidden bar in soho house with excellent espresso martinis. It is a lot cozier and smaller than I expected, but we were still able to snag a seat on a Friday night. The Christmas decorations were pretty but not as decked out as I thought it'd be either. Otherwise a fun time to grab a cocktail!

    Tiny little speakeasy upstairs at SoHo. Usually a DJ. Very dimly lit in the best way.

    Cool decor

    Best bar in Chicago, possibly in the world! The bartenders are personable and fun to talk to. Shoutout Robbie, Tim, Santi, and Kesley. The barback is a spry and spunky little guy who's super hot and is really good at picking up glasses and cleaning them. I heard that the barback also draws everything on the mirrors, they're a very talented artist! My new favorite spot in west loop, I hope that every time I go, that funny little barback is working!

    Having a girls' night with some friends and this has been on my list for quiet some time. It is a cozy spot and we got in there early enough on a Thursday to snag a table. I did not like my drink but I enjoyed the vibe. As it for a little Later, the music was super loud and the place got crowded so it was definitely hard to have a convo.

    Cute hidden bar upstairs at SoHo. Go up the south stairs and look for the swinging doors that say bar service only. Not sure why it says that when you can order (pizza) pies?

    Cool atmosphere

    Me and the bestie took a stop at this gem after seeing a concert at the United Center. It was a little busy, but great atmosphere. The drinks were decently priced, especially for the amount of alcohol in them. (I couldn't even finish mine!) I would def come back to try a different one!

    Cool place to enjoy some well-crafted cocktails. We came before a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant, so it was earlier in the evening and not too busy yet. Since it's basically a little tucked away room with less than ten tables, I was happy we were able to snag one. We also snagged a phenomenal bartender! While my friends both ordered off the regular cocktail menu, I was being annoyingly indecisive; without hesitating he asked what type of base spirit I liked, followed by a series of other questions, and offered to craft me something special. Hell yea! It turned out amazing, and both my friends liked their cocktails too. An all around win for fox bar.

    I love Fox bar - it's tucked away and I don't think I would have found it if my friend hadn't shown it to me. You go up to the second floor of SoHo House and through some swinging doors on the left to enter a cozy space. They have Polaroid pictures up on one wall and wooden decor. Overall this bar has an intimate atmosphere that makes it a perfect place to take a date. The cocktails are phenomenal! I highly recommend them. If you have questions, the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Just tell them what you're in the mood for and they'll point you in the right direction. Cocktails are $13 a drink. I tried 3 different drinks: the Top Shape Cocktail, the One Man Army, and a drink with absinthe in it. Definitely try the Top Shape Cocktail! The bartender recommended it as one of the best drinks and we weren't disappointed.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

He's deeply involved in the beverage scene, and with a partner who is starting a mezcal company, they're always on the hunt for standout cocktail programs. This time, we ended up at Gus' Sip & Dip, located at 51 W. Hubbard St., Chicago, IL 60654. While we were there, a friend mentioned that Gus' Sip & Dip has been recognized among the top food and drink destinations in the country, and after my visit, I can absolutely see why. The atmosphere is fantastic, think modern speakeasy with a touch of 1940s charm. The space features rich green tones, cozy booths, and an intimate layout that works especially well for small groups. Larger parties can take advantage of some of the bigger tables throughout the space. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Just be aware that this place is popular, so depending on when you visit, there may be a wait. As for the food and drinks, everything we tried was excellent. I didn't manage to get photos of everything, but a few highlights included the burger, the Italian beef dip, and the chicken pot pie. Every dish was flavorful and well executed. The cocktails were equally impressive, every drink I sampled was thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I would absolutely come back. The only thing worth noting is that it's a bit on the pricey side, but if you're looking for great food, exceptional drinks, and a memorable atmosphere, it's money well spent. If you have the budget and good company, Gus' Sip & Dip is a true gem in downtown Chicago. 5 out of 5 stars.

Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for a great dinner, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit. The service was phenomenal. Our server checked in frequently without ever feeling intrusive, and we always felt taken care of. That level of attentiveness really elevated the entire experience. The drinks were outstanding. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the most unique versions I've ever had. Smoky, strong, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced. If you're a cocktail lover, don't skip the drinks. We started with the Little Gem salad, which was fresh, tangy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. For mains, we tried both the steak sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, served on great bread, and paired with delicious sides. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. But the real star of the evening? The Sweet Corn Agnolotti. My. God. This dish completely stole the show. It was one of the most unique pasta dishes I've ever tasted, and I still think about it to this day. The flavor profile was complex, creative, and unlike anything I've had before. Every bite brought something new, and it absolutely blew our minds. Amazing food, incredible cocktails, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Ila's delivered on every level, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal in Chicago.

Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and despite having been here multiple times before, I won't be returning.
