Not sure why all of the poor reviews considering my experience, but maybe I just got lucky? I think…read morethis is a good place to go out if you are in a group and wanting to dance, but I feel like they can do something about the sound system here. They only have two speakers on the walls and they definitely need to lower the high-frequency. The music sounds too sharp here. The drinks are at typical prices (around $12) and they play latino & Reggaeton music which is exactly what I'm always looking for. The crowd is pretty diverse and enjoying their time there. I'd say the next time I come here, I'd start off pregaming elsewhere on 18th street or bar hop, and come here last. I'm not sure why they close by 1am on the weekends, but hoping they extend their hours in the future. Solid going out spot in the Pilsen area for sure!

Stopped by at 10pm on a Friday with my friend. It was my first time here. Space is somewhat small,…read moreand there were a few high tops and some stools at the bar. We just had a drink and the music was good (a lot of reggeaton ) Once it started getting more crowded, our stools from the bar were removed and the crowd was definitely younger (early to mid 20s) and way more men than ladies. Over all chill and got to listen to some bad bunny lol

Welcomed to the bar. A bunch of women screeching to a song on screen. I'm thinking so, when does the karaoke start and how do I sign up to sing? Bartender, was very nice, said if you don't have a reservation for a room, you have to fill out a request card/sheet. But, I asked where do we sing? Right here he says. So, in a bar full of drunken screeching women who have no idea of what singing means, I am asked to offset that f-up. NOT! This place may have been good 4 years ago, but it's definitely for the drunken tone deaf. If you're even mildly interested in singing, DON'T COME HERE!!!

I especially loved the pulpo in mole - a combo I have never seen before. It was delicious! Only feedback is that la chingona came on a small plate, and since it's massively tall it was a bit intimidating figuring out how to take your first bite. The shortrib was an elevated take on carnitas, and came with a choice of tortillas or bolillo. Overall, everything we ate and the professional yet laid back service made the whole experience exceptional. We're definitely going back!

Honestly, we had a great server who was attentive and gave good customer service. The food was subpar, and so were the drinks. It's definitely a college bar. Where can you grab cheap drinks and food? I had the carne asada fries. The carne was so tough, like chewing leather.....I couldn't even chew it up. The fries tasted okay. The onion rings tasted good. My coworker did enjoy her fish tacos. We all had martinis, and then we had green tea shots. The first bartender was great. When we got our second round of drinks, they tasted different. The green tea shots tasted like seltzer water. The music was enjoyable, and the service was good.

My wife and I were on our anniversary trip to Chicago and decided to enjoy the cocktail bar The…read moreAviary before our dinner at their sister concept - Next. I'll start out by saying that the time in the Aviary was the best cocktail experience we have ever had. Not saying the best cocktails (even though they were very good), but the best experience as far as interesting presentations and overall service combined with good cocktails that when you were drinking them did not feel gimmicky at all, but that everything had a purpose. My wife did the 3 drink progression and ordered The Partridge, The 3 Martini Lunch, and the non-alcoholic version of the Kyoto Plum. I got three cocktails, but because I opted for one on their barrel aged part of the menu, my progression was basically a la carte, not the 3 drink $75 price. We also opted for one small bite of food - The Truffle explosion. My drinks were the Cereal Killer, the In The Rocks, and the Blood and Sand. As far as favorites went Joy's Partridge was basically a Mint Julep with some warming spices, but the presentation was great. Almost every table got that drink so it must be well received. My favorite was the Blood and Sand that was just a really well balanced cocktail. I think that part of the menu does not get the elaborate presentations. We both also enjoyed sharing the 3 martini lunch which was a small version of a Vesper, a Gibson, and a dirty Martini. Two things about this drink, we like our martinis with gin rather than vodka (obviously a Vesper has both), but their rules are that there are no changes to their menus, so both the gibson and the dirty martini were vodka based. The Gibson and the Vesper were our favorites of the three as the dirty martini was too dirty. There was even more olive brine if we wanted it dirtier. Bottom line, top notch experience, great friendly service, and the atmosphere was awesome watching the room being served some of the drinks we had, and ones that we did not order. The Truffle Explosion was also a very good bite, basically a truffle/parmesan infused soup dumpling that exploded in your mouth and helped out with a little food in our belly while having all that alcohol at the same time. The only disappointing cocktail was the Kyoto Plum mocktail, interesting presentation, but tasted just like grape juice - no real character. A hostess from Next came and got us and took us to our table in Next for the 1987 Manhattan meal. Thanks for a great experience Aviary!!

We made a reservation for their three course cocktail experience for four of us which required a deposit of $75 per person. Only one of us ended up doing the experience (the rest of us were too full and already tipsy from dinner) but it was nonetheless, a very cool experience. Service was top notch. My partner has admired this place for a long time, as a bartender himself, and he has even learned a thing or two from their Bible-like cookbooks. So when the maitre d offered to allow him to step into the kitchen and help finish one of their cocktails, he was absolutely giddy. This was such a memorable and special touch for us during our visit to Chicago. I loved seeing how the kitchen worked together in a traditional kitchen line but only focusing on cocktails. It was an impressive thing to see. Many of the cocktails are presented in an incredibly theatrical way featuring interesting glassware, dry ice, and even a plastic bag filled with flavored air. I actually wasn't a big fan of the cocktail I ordered (it leaned too heavy into the BBQ flavor for my taste) but I enjoyed trying everyone else's cocktails at the table. I would definitely recommend checking out The Aviary if you are a cocktail enthusiast hoping to try something you can't get anywhere else. It truly is a fine dining experience with mixology at the forefront.
