While the space isn't huge, after about 10 minutes two seats opened up so if you're patient, you can probably find a seat. The cocktails were very good and had a lot of variety. For all the ones with a fire next to them, they literally light them on fire! And not just a little either. It's very fun!

We were able to get a table outside, which was perfect. The dark vibes inside are personally not my favorite, but I appreciate the intimacy of the space. We did not order food, and just had some white wine. It was the perfect spot to end our fun night filled with good times, good wine, and laughs while I was visiting Chicago.

I visited right as they opened on a Sunday to avoid crowds. Their menu is curated with 16 specialty drinks as well as some spirit free, wine, and beer options. The bartender told me that their most popular drink currently is the Cosmic Stardust but he enjoys the Caught in the Rain, Spanish Caravan, and Used Book. We ended up ordering the Nights Like These and Used Book. The Nights Like These had a sweeter note in taste, subtle smokey flavor, and smokey scent with the burned cinnamon stick. The Used Book was very spirit forward but extremely balanced. Drinks were $16 each which is fair for the city. Highly recommend this spot if you love a unique cocktail profile or want to try something you haven't before.

The bartenders are always very friendly and check in often which is always appreciated. You're always immediately given little pretzels to snack on which I love as a unique touch.

I would definitely recommend Elixir to anyone looking for a spot to grab a quick and delicious cocktail!

On our first night in Boystown, Jamie W and I were pretty overwhelmed by the crowds at Sidetrack…read moreand Roscoe's, so we ended up coming here to make Jamie's virginal gay bar debut. It was the right move because it had the kind of chill vibe we were seeking after a long flight from SFO. Fortunately there were two seats at the bar with our names on them. Figuratively speaking. They had quite a signature cocktail list on hand, and we felt it was our obligation to try as many as we could. At least that was what we said to ourselves as the evening wore on. Each cocktail was $14. We started with a couple of familiar libations. Jamie ordered the Mint Julep, a delightfully Deep South mix of bourbon, simple syrup, and fresh mint (photo: https://yelp.to/u-td8LdPLj). I went further south with the Pineapple Margarita which was emboldened by a tropically potent mix of pineapple infused tequila, lime juice, and agave (photo: https://yelp.to/V-Sf6Q_2qK). We got a bit bolder with our second round and found mixed results. Jamie had the Not Your Mom's Daiquiri which amped up the margarita by blending pineapple-infused tequila with Bacardi 8-year rum. Along with fresh lime and simple syrup, this one definitely had more of a kick (photo: https://yelp.to/1ZijDf6wMV). However, my order, the Pontiac Pony, was a spicy miss for me. It was a rather oddball mix of apple-cinnamon infused vodka, pear liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and ginger beer (photo: https://yelp.to/5dQoFdzG98). There was just a harshness that didn't sit well on my tongue. Oh well, the mellow vibe was cool.

This venue is easier to get into compared to the one in the Loop but both are a good time. At this location there is plenty of meter parking off Lincoln Avenue and garage nearby. Be careful though as they have weird hours of enforcement. Plenty of food venues to score some tasty bites to include some dessert places that are nearby. Check this place out if you wanna belt a few tunes and need a chill venue to hang out.
