We passed Point & Feather on our way to Mother Hubbard's, and the curb appeal caught my eye driving by. We just so happened to visit this place on that evening, and really enjoyed our visit on a bustling weekend evening after dinner and drinks. There was plenty of seating and the setting was fairly unique in a good way. It was cool to walk through the place with all the different decor and settings throughout the building. The service was top notch and this place exceeded expectations! read more

I rarely leave one star reviews, but unfortunately after coming twice (a year apart) the experience is the same. The ambiance is beautiful with very clubby vibes depending on time of night. I haven't tried food, but I have ordered two different drinks both times and could not finish either one because they were terrible. I never leave drinks unfinished. read more

This pretzel was everything I needed when I stopped at point and feather. Do you see how large it is. Two people definitely ate off this pretzel. read more

Stopped by with friends on a Friday nights. Theres plenty of nightlife around the area, but this place seemed to be the only one with seating haha. With that being said, I really loved the drinks! The Swedish dove was my favorite and wasn't too sweet read more

Stopped here while bar hopping in the area. They should have more people cleaning on busy nights because this entire place was a sticky mess. I might try it again but during the day. read more

Gave my girlfriend a tequila and grapefruit when she asked for vodka and grapefruit. Then told her she asked for tequila even thought a couple people heard her say vodka, but did made her another... and then charged me for both. Didn't raise the concern with the staff but the bar tender was shockingly rude and poorly trained. Avoid basically a scam They charged a tip even though i scratched out the tip option. This place is a scam read more

The "white horse" was honestly delicious if you like cucumber cocktails! and all of the bartenders I interacted with were incredibly pleasant. I liked the music and remixes the dj played and the vibe was cute besides the slightly cheugy neon signs. The multiple darts areas were also a nice touch. I'd definitely come back here - maybe over some of the other bars on this street! read more

Had the absolute worst experience trying to go to Point and Feather over the weekend. If I could give them zero stars, I would. I was with a group of three other Indian people and we were rejected from Point and Feather on Friday night. We were meeting some friends who were already inside and when we stood in line the white, male bouncer told us they were only allowing in people with reservations. We told him we had friends inside who had a reservation. After that he changed his story and said they were "at capacity and not allowing anyone in." This bouncer along with a black, male bouncer then told us we needed to leave the line and clear the sidewalk, so we walked a little away trying to figure out what to do. After that, one of the bouncers yelled at us to leave their sidewalk entirely and that we couldn't stand near them at all. So we moved a little over to the restaurant next door to let our friends know we couldn't enter. A few minutes go by and we see the white bouncer letting in all the people behind us who were somehow allowed to stay in line, for free and without asking if they had reservations. We noticed all of the people let in happen to be white as well. A few more minutes go by and a black guy tries to enter and he's required to pay cover before he can go in. Absolutely one of the most racist and worst experiences I've had trying to go to a bar/restaurant in the city. Highly DON'T recommend. read more

The name it self is interesting. I love the security he was so personable that I knew this was the reason for place for me. When you step in you will be happy with the space. It is relaxing They have a pool table nice interactive activity. read more

"Dress code" only applies to people of color. We were initially denied for someone in party wearing a hoodie despite having friends inside already who were wearing similar outfits and hoodies. Went back and forth with bouncer who reluctantly let us in and said "just this once" but we saw many others in the bar with hoodies on also but hadn't been stopped at the front. After seeing other reviews, seems like this happens often. If you don't have the exact dress code posted online with what is and isn't allowed and aren't enforcing for all, seems like an unethical way to keep certain demographics out. read more

For a "darts" bar, there doesn't seem to be a big emphasis on darts...They're definitely not the highest quality dart boards or darts. The drinks are fine and the servers are friendly but I admit I often go for a couple pints of whatever's on tap. Maybe I just went in with higher expectations but I find it a bit more generic but I do enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Good chill spot for the neighborhood. Multiple spots for folks to play darts and pool but since there isn't a time limit, it's pretty easy for groups to take over the space. The menu included an average number of items for the area but I stuck with a beer since a group of us were playing darts. Ambiance and decor are nice but don't expect too much service from the staff. read more

Amazing place! We went on a Friday night and absolutely loved the vibes. And the DJ was on fire! The place is spacious and has interesting decor. You can play darts or pool. We could not taste the food as the kitchen was closed, but the drinks were good. read more

So this is the type of place you go to when you just want beer, mixed drinks or seltzers. Their cocktails aren't that great and neither is the food, but the music is usually great and a game of darts with good friends is always a good time. The place is pretty big so you rarely have to wait for a drink at either of the bars and the dj on all 3 occasions was great! Played some fantastic mixes and had a lot of ppl moving to the music. It's a no frills bar with a lot of darts boards. If you want better cocktails; I'd suggest checking out flight club. read more

Will definitely be returning but I think this bar is more about the ambiance and hangout-ability versus the specialty cocktails! I ordered the Ojo Del Toro because I like spicy sweet cocktails and it hit the spot! But I don't think it's crazy special over another bar's which is why it's 4/5 but I still need to try some other drinks too. Definitely was more self service and walked to the bar to get the drinks. But the ambiance definitely was the standout of the whole place and will come back with friends for drinks and darts. Loved the couches and the interior decorating! read more

Absolutely abysmal service. We went for a friend's birthday. I ordered the steak sliders and was served burgers instead. I raised this issue with the staff, and he questioned me on what I ordered - his response was "you ordered these". This guy, mind you, was not even my server. I raised it with the server, and her response was "they are the same thing". If that's the case, then why do you have both burger sliders AND steak sliders on your menu? Then, I ordered water three separate times from a staff member, and he did not say a word back to me nor did he bring the water. I had to go to the bar to get a carafe of water and glasses for myself and my 8 friends. On top of this, as a dart bar, every one of our darts were broken and bounced off the fake, plastic dart board. If you're a bar centered around darts, then why not have an actual cork board? The service and darts here are extremely sub-par. I highly recommend checking out a different bar, or Flight Club (2 blocks south) if you want to play darts. Spent over $1000 at this bar for terrible service, darts that are broken, and mediocre food and drinks. read more

Point & Feather refused entry to my friend because of his disabilities. When I explained to them his situation, staff/bouncer confirmed that was the reason he wasn't welcome. The owner never bothered to follow up, despite asking for my number to call. An apology was beneath them. This place clearly has no respect for inclusion or human decency. Avoid it at all costs. Unsure if they are familiar with ADA. Destroyed my friend's self esteem, who just wanted to feel like everyone else. read more

So many dart boards! Vibe was great. The server Alli was amazing! So friendly and attentive, drinks were great too!

We went there post to dinner. He had no trouble getting in it requires proper attire to enter. slightly upscale bar. Plenty of seating space with darts and pool tables. Drinks are okay, not great but definitely overpriced. Everyone i observed, made faces after their first sip. It wasnt busy but servers were rarely to be seen. read more

Went to Point and Feather on a late Thursday night. Laura's section of the bar was closed, but she gladly opened up her section and made us drinks. Laura is beyond sweet with a smile on her face. Whether Point and Feather makes it or not, Laura is a hit and should work in hospitality anywhere read more

Finally came here last week and loved it! We all got carded at the door but I took it as a compliment as the guy at the door said I didn't look my age lol. Anyway, Point and Feather is a very cool after work spot, especially if you are in the mood to play darts or pool or just have an awesome specialty crafted cocktail. There are many different seating areas and they have great music and happy hour specials. I came with a few friends after work and everyone enjoyed. Loved it so much almost wanted to go back the next day, but I will wait until next week! During happy hour which last until 7 pm, all of the appetizers are half off and there are some good drink specials as well. This is definitely my new after work spot! Check it out ! read more

Not a place I plan to come back to. We stopped in here on a Friday night after having dinner across the street at Bar Goa and I kind of wish we would have stayed there. The two stars are for the inside which was swanky with plenty of seating. That's where the stars stop. The drinks were fine (definitely overpriced) but the service was terrible. We had to get up three times to find the server. It was busy but not busy enough to account for the lack of service. Also they added a mandatory 20% tip which I have never seen at a bar or for a group of 4, but given the quality of service, it makes sense. read more

I love the atmosphere here, they have darts and pool and lots of seating. It's the service that makes it really hard to go here. The girl bartenders are always rude. Last night I asked if they could make a good dirty martini, she said yes. This was by far the worst drink I have ever had, I'm pretty sure it was just vermouth. I would go somewhere else if your looking for good cocktails and above average food! read more

Honestly one of the cutest bars I've been to in Chicago. The spot was definitely bigger than I had expected it to be from the outside. Drinks pretty reasonably priced too. They do have a dress code though - my friend wore sweatpants and wasn't let in :/ read more

Always packed and always fun and good music. This is definitely the place to have fun with friends . read more

Point & Feather - Yesterday was fun. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you're looking for a trendy chill spot to have drinks and appetizers this is a great choice. Plus you get free darts which is always a crowd favorite. I've been a few times and it's always been laid back with a chill vibe. Never had a problem with service and I believe they have some pretty good happy hour specials. I've had an assortment of the appetizers and enjoyed them all and they have a good price on PBR tall boys, pairs excellent with dart throwing ha. Also very spacious inside shouldn't have a problem finding a seat. This is a nice change up from the normal Hubbard street bars where loud music and packed bars reign. read more

Beer was good and super cool bar with nice set up but to be marketed as a darts bar and not have darts was kind of frustrating. I asked almost 5 different employees and no one could get me darts. read more

A group of us went on a Friday night. This used to be Mercer. Likes - We were seated by a dart board. Not sure if you need to reserve it or what. When the tables next to us stopped playing and left, we played for a little - Drink: Queen of Thorns (beefeater gin, pineapple, lemon, dried rose) was great Dislikes - My friends arrived first and asked for a table for 6 but was given a table for 4. -Drink: Matcha Pea Shoot (fords gin, thyme liqueur, lemon, sugar snap pea, matcha, egg white) was interesting but not good enough to get again. read more

Came here with friends to hang out for an evening. We arrived to a fairly empty spot and we picked a seat by the dart boards. We sat down and were given menus when immediately a waitress came by for our drink orders. Since we just sat down, we asked for some time. After a few minutes she checks on us. A friend asked about the happy hour specials and she didn't know, reading her list and then handing it to us. My friends opt for $5 wine special and I got the pea shot matcha. After looking at the menus for snacks, we each three discovered we had a different menu. A waiter stopped by to check on us and we asked which menu was correct. He helped sort it out, but it seems like the ones they had sitting around were different. Staff was quickly trying to remedy this. How is it that there are so many versions for such a new restaurant? Our waitress was eyeing the situation the entire time and looked very annoyed that another staff helped us. We placed our order (burrata and crostini) and was then informed that the crostini wasn't available. We opted for the corn dogs instead. The food comes relatively quickly, way before our drinks. We waited for a bit and started to play darts. Finally, the drinks come. The wine glass my friend received had a lipstick stain.... My cocktail was okay, bit bland. As for the food, we enjoyed the corn dogs and burrata. The bacon jam with the burrata was a winner! It didn't come with much bread, 4 pieces, for the amount of cheese and jam. We ended up finding someone for more as our waitress couldn't have been bothered all evening. As we were wrapping up, we asked for the check and found the bill to be off, none of the small plates were half off per happy hour specials. They also charged for the extra bread.... I walked to the waitress about the happy hour prices and she was convinced it was right as her manager did it. Math doesn't add up, I point out and she finds him. The manager apologizes and we get a correct bill and are off. Definite miss in service. Our waitress clearly didn't want to be there. The venue is nice, particularly for a winter evening. We appreciated the darts games being free. The food was good. However, the negatives outweigh the positives. read more

This place is racist. We are a group of brown people who waited in line. There was a group of white guys in front of us wearing shorts and tennis shoes. They were allowed in. When it was our turn, the owner came up and told the bouncer to not let us in because we weren't following dress code. We were all dressed to go bar hopping. But the dress code didn't apply to the guys in front of us? Because they were white?? Racist af. read more

They wouldn't let us in because we had backpack. We just got in from a flight. Also the Bouncer was rude about it.

I only came here for the happy hour deals but I am sure that I will be back. Great deals for a gin and tonic or a vodka and soda that I would recommend making this a stop before going to any other restaurant or bar in the area. The space is pretty big and when I got here around 5:30 it was still pretty empty but it slowly started to fill up on a Thursday. Now I just need to make plans to go back to play darts since it looked like a really fun time. read more

Went here for some drinks with friends while in Chicago and had a great time! The drinks are reasonably priced and we happened to be there during happy hour which was a plus! In addition to the drinks we got the burrata. It was really good and I would definitely get it again. The interior is also great and the staff is great. They also have a lot of dart boards free of charge to play with. This was a nice addition to the experience. I would definitely come here again! read more

Point & Feather is the place for playing darts if you prefer throwing darts while dressed to impress and sipping a fancy cocktail rather than playing in a jersey at your local sports bar. I visited on a Friday night around 1am. Although Hubbard street was lively, Point & Feather was quieter and had quite a few dart "nooks" open. My friends ordered drinks at the bar and we started playing darts. I enjoyed the comfy seating in the nook area and the bartenders were nice. The bouncers kicked us out around 1:45am. read more

One of the few places I can tolerate on a Saturday night out on Hubbard Street. Had a nice time playing pool and getting a beer. The ambiance looks pretty nice, kinda classy with the library look and the free darts and billiards a huge plus in this neighborhood! Wish there was a shelf or something to put my drink down. Typical loud music, luckily the windows open up and I can be outside with the fresh air. I'm sure the place is a bit more relaxed and quieter on non-busy days. read more

Overall I was very impressed by this location and it's availability of seating. I'm glad I booked a 8 person table ahead of time or else it would have been impossible to find space on a Friday night. If you have a big group i would highly recommend booking a table. It's always crowded but the specials are great. Half off apps and $5 drafts and $7 cocktails were an excellent value. Our favorite appetizer was definitely the nachos Bc they were massive. Would definitely consider coming back. read more

Came in last night with my sister, I tried to order an antihero on tap and the bartender, tall skinny white dude with waxed back hair, told me I'd have a tequila sprite like my sister. I told him that I wanted the beer and he pushed for the other drink again, I caved, we each got one. I'm a lightweight and one tequila soda should take me out for at least an hour or so, especially after pregaming. Basically I just hydrated. There's no way that tequila wasn't watered down. A lot. Free darts and pool which was fun, but the actual darts are kinda shitty and the cue sticks were light - only one had a tip. read more

This was a great place to hang out in Chicago while we waited for our nearby dinner reservation. The drinks were flowing and the conversation was lively. Very comfortable place full of fun tavern things to do. I recommend the drinks although I did not get to try any of the food. read more

This place is despicable. We were a party of six with three black people and three white people. They only let the blonde hair white girl in and told the rest of us we need a reservation. ZERO STARS. read more
