If you're looking for a chill place to get delicious craft cocktails, with an intimate setting, but…read morestill have enough space to have a conversation without worrying others around you, this is the place to be. They only have one TV in the corner, and it's showing the albums of the smooth jazz music. They're playing over the speakers. This is a place to congregate with friends, family, or perhaps to meet strangers. Don't expect to have the local ball game on. But I think that's the whole idea, encouraging human interaction. Both the bartender and the server were incredibly kind and friendly, and I already feel like I've made new friends.

My lovely wife and I have been here a handful of times, but recently we enjoyed the Happy Hour deals. Yes they have Happy Hour specials until 6PM every day. $6 gets you drinks such as an Old Fashioned, Lemon Drop or Margarita. You can also fill up on a New Moon Burger with fries (one griddled meat patty) or a pair of Moondogs with fries for $12. Everything was tasty - the burger, the corn dogs, and the crisp seasoned fries. Come to Moonflower and enjoy the drinks, food and the soundtrack too.

Have to say it's not much to look at. The drinks are the main thing. Basic looking bar in a mostly residential area. It's the second home for a lot of regulars who live around here. That makes sense. Not a whole lot else is around. Of course they won't ever have to worry about parking. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and mixed with whatever. Basic. There's free popcorn. Good prices compared to other bars. It's located on Higgins at Major. The closest transportation center is the Jefferson Park station.

The reason we love this place is because the place is nice and modern with a nice comfy decor, they have an EXCELLENT whiskey and bourbon selection amongst all other spirits, but mostly because of the SERVICE! The staff, from the owner to each of the bartenders, they treat you like a long time friend. The drinks pack a punch and the ambiance is always upbeat. They strive to provide different events weekly and even nightly. They have a back patio for private parties or you can host your event inside. This place is just great, but Uber since parking is street parking and common sense dictates you should. See you there, and let's enjoy a drink!

A bar within a bar inception…read more Nightshade is the basement bar of Moonflower. We came to the opening weekend to check out the vibe. There was a healthy amount of folks coming through, but not too crowded. It's dark, closed off with a smaller bar and also additional washrooms below. Vibe is sparse - at the moment, it's simple with the centerpiece of the red glowing bar, side bench seating, a few lamps off to the side, painted in a dark green/black floor to ceiling color. I think the reason to have this secondary space is the potential to do more fun, experimental drinks. Though space is cozier, it's nice to see seating was designed to accommodate groups too. I think it would have been easy to talk to other table groups if the music was just a tad softer. Son of a Gun - it's a tortilla chip in drink form. It's savory with a hint of cilantro. Sneaking Suspicion - nice apparent flavor of chamomile balanced out with a slight, creamy sweet flavor of yogurt. If you're into exploring unusual flavors and forms, Nightshade is a place to check out, and of course Moonflower offers another menu so you can do 2 in 1. Kitchen closes at 10pm.

Delicious ribs. Great cocktails. SO LOUD…read more Went on A Saturday night at 7pm. Busy time. No problem. Server had a lot of tables. Then the jazz trio started playing. Bass, electric guitar, snare drum. Could not hear one thing after that. We had to shout at the server when ordering so she could hear us. Couldn't even talk to the person across the table. The trio was good but the space is Way too small for live music. They were three tables away. In an alcove. Wrong time and place. Put the live music in the bar at 8 or 9 and let diners eat. Told the manager - he didn't care Said something to young man at front desk. He just mumbled " we're real busy" Do not go on a weekend!!

They have a solid selection of craft beers, the old-fashioned I ordered was nicely made, and I really enjoyed it. Great service by the friendly staff. Overall, a great experience.

This place was a miss for me…read more Sign at bar says order here. However, people blocking the bar so couldn't get to bartenders. Customers were really spread out, so had difficulty ordering. What really annoyed me is that it's super small inside, and there were two small children running around the tables. Doing laps. I got sneezed on by some random child. Completely grossed me out. This is a brewery, right? Not a daycare. Just kinda disappointing and beer was only ok. I will say they have a decent selection of beer.
