Completely different than what I've ever experienced and will definitely be back!! The four of us ordered the woz, the sephia, De bello, apple cinnamon bourbon tea, and last but not least, absinthe!!

I had two appetizers, the parmesan fries and fried ravioli, which were both delicious. My girlfriend and I had cocktails, The Waz, Yellow Jacket, New Jersey Devil, and the Soyko. Our favorite was the Soyko Martini (delicious lemon!) The servers were super friendly and personable. They attended to our every need. I totally recommend this place!

Stumble across Red Barrel...the drinks were good and the appetizers sweet sticky chicken was decent the fries were tasty. But my pasta dish was FULL OF SALT. I couldn't finish it.

The kid meal was a good deal and my 10 year old enjoyed it but it wasn't big enough portions so we ordered too. Will I be back? No but it was an interesting experience

I always passes here and thought that it probably was really old fashioned. Well I was wrong, the place is bright yellow and the dance floor is a pretty big dance floor considering that the place is not showing its true size from the outside - impressive Polonia. I was impressed also with the fact that they decorated the heck out of this place and it was really tastefully done. The colors were bright and the place was magic for the party that was about to begin. I also must admit that the family style dinner that they serve is really good quality. Of course for being a hall, the food was really good. Since most of the time the foods served are bland. But I must admit that the pasta dish was in fact over salted. What can you do right? The rest of the dinner as well as the night was pretty nice. Parking is pretty ample, except I did notice that the girls who were serving the meal made sure as soon as you were done, the plate would be removed. Not cook, but hey they are trying to get home so I can totally appreciate the effort. Till they get a fork in their hand, than they understand.

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!

He even went the extra mile and stayed an extra 40 minutes to finish the first mix after a 10 hour day. We would highly recommend Chicago Sound Lab and had a great experience!
