    Love this place ! Interesting cocktails, great snacks, super eclectic tunes, plant shop ambience. Reasonable prices. Friendly helpful service. Highly recommend you check it out. They have a late night weekend space, Nightshade, as well (never been as I live far away and am old !) but I'm guessing it's pretty great too!

    I came to this bar for a quick drink. I loved the decor and ambiance of this place. Service was also great. Even though it was busy the bartender was quite fast in checking in and making drinks. I would definitely come back.

    Mediocre food at best (simultaneously bland and too sweet). Non existent ambiance (uninviting and too aggressively loud). Apologetic service (nice enough but unengaging). Limited bar selection (rookie level cocktails). I guess if you're used to pounding Tito's shots at a truck stop sports bar while stuffing your face with McDonald's, this place might be a slight step up. But not by much. No, it's not a sports bar. No, they don't serve McDonald's here. Yes, it's dimly lit and has exposed brick. By the way, exposed brick and plants don't make a place feel "cozy"; on the contrary, it feels like you're sitting outside of a building. I'm baffled by so many 5 star reviews. No idea what happened in 2023 since it seems that most reviews are older. The overall vibe is that of a scratch card, shiny on the outside but inevitably a losing lottery ticket under the surface.

    great food great cocktails great vibe. place was packed when we came in but was still able to get seated immediately.

    The ambience is very nice and staff nice as well. I only tried a drink. They do not have domestic beers if that's what you are looking for. They have speciality drinks and other beers, like ipa etc. I would like to go back and try their food. This place actually looks like it would be nice to go to for a date night. Update****Well I stand corrected! They do offer domestic beers as the owner has responded. I think I did not explain it properly, they do not have a wide selection of domestic beers as you would find in most bars, for example your bud lite, Budweisers, and the Miller beers, etc. Hope I explained it better this time! I do not want to give out misinformation, that's for sure! But if I once again I did, please correct me! My apologies!

    I came here for a Halloween event they recently had and really loved it! They had really cool activities set up and it was nice that the downstairs bar had a different menu and experience than the top floor. After grabbing drinks in the bar area downstairs and enjoying the vibes we decided to head back upstairs to sit and enjoy the food menu. I got the new moon burger and we shared the Brussels sprouts appetizer and both were excellent. The burger had really great flavor and I especially appreciated the touch of chili oil. The brussels sprouts had a wonderful glaze with a harissa feta sauce and I thought the cashews were nice touch. The ambiance is very cool and eclectic. The service was also friendly and accommodating. If you're in the area and are in need of unique drinks and/or a delicious meal be sure to stop by Moonflower, you won't be disappointed!

    Loved our cocktails! The favorite for all three of us ladies was the Late Bloomer! It was textured, fresh and boozy baby! I love a good Gin drink! The space is dim and comfy, casual and chill speakeasy vibes. Happy Hour lemon drop was a little too tart for me but happy hour is always a plus! Visit and enjoy!

    Rice cake skewers, cheesy corn spaetzle, and tostone latkes off the new menu was amazing!!! The rice cake skewers were chewy and cheesy. Something very new for me but I dig it! The cheesy corn spaetzle was sweet, salty, cheesy and very delicious. Now the tostone latkes. I didn't know what to expect but this was a flavor bomb. It taste like an alcapuria, which is a Puerto Rican a round mashed plantain meat stuffed fried ball. These latkes were wild. They def nailed the flavor. I topped a latke with some of the spaetzle, so good!

    I was at a work event up on ohare and needed a breather, randomly searched a bar. This showed up and had 5 stars so o had to try it! This spot is truly a gem. The cocktails are so creative and delicious. I had the honey dip and it's so refreshing!! We shared a few skewers, tostones, and the corn dish. Everything was sooo tasty and the place was cozy and vibey.

    Nice chill bar in Jefferson park. Great happy hour menu. Didn't get to try any food but the drinks are definitely good. If in the area looking for a drink definitely stop here.

    This is our neighborhood bar. Love that we're just steps away from this establishment. They now have a chicken entree dish! It's really good. So as their toasted sourdough bread with tofu tahini hummus. Service can be slow when the place is getting packed but you know they are trying their best to keep up! -pics were from separate visits

    All because a few years back my brother took me to his favorite cocktail bar in Detroit and I hated…read morethe drinks and was a sourpuss about it he usually refuses to take me to his other treasured places. However I think the holiday spirit got to him a couple of weeks ago because he took me to Consignment which is one of he and his wife's faves. The name is as it says - the bar doubles as a secondhand store and whatever is on display is for sale. I adored it! The service was awesome - I always love chopping it up with Black bartenders - and the crowd was very very queer. I was legitimately in heaven. So much doesn't feel safe right now - especially with the J6 goon squad running amok in Chicago trafficking people. It was nice to be among my people enjoying great drinks in a buzzy atmosphere. Because we are old, we got there by 730 on a Saturday and surprisingly it was already packed! Patience won the day though and within 45 minutes we snagged some stools against the wall. I had a great time here and hope to return!

    What a cute place! Stopped in for happy hour on a Tuesday around 430pm. Deals are pretty good…read more Cocktails for $8, draft beers for $6 and there was a deal on wine too. The place had a few other small groups around with two bartenders available. Service was top notch and the bartender we spoke with was very knowledgeable about the menu and spirits in general. You could tell he took pride in and enjoyed mixology.
