a cocktail with olives
Grant A.

Saturday night was my second time coming last time was pre pandemic. I like that it has a coat rack, a piano, that they play jazz. I like that classic cocktails are in the bars repertoire. First drink I got was a Sazerac. The second drink I got was a Wisconsin Old fashioned. I like that the ash trays are sizeable on the back patio. I'm not a smoker but ocassionally throughout the year I might smoke a cigar. The way the bar is designed is really beautiful you can tell that it's been a bar for a while in the best way. There are some bar designs you can just tell from a certain era. I also like they play jazz on the jukebox or sound system.

Came for the old fashion cocktail, and boy it did not disappoint. Classic tasting with muddled cherries and orange. Also had a Manhattan and Wisconsin old fashioned. One of the only bars in Chicago to serve a Wisconsin old-fashioned cocktail. The atmosphere was laid back and had all retro vibes. The bartender was super cool and attentive. Would definitely visit again for drinks.

Usually, the nicer bars are located east of Kimball but I had no clue that there was this finer one right on the opp side.. in fact, just walking distance for me. I came here on a chill Friday night just to explore around, check it off my list and I was actually pretty surprised by it. It took me a sec to figure this place out from the outside look of it, it has no big signs or sorts. Once inside, the interiors were pretty dim-lit, gave me a rather retro vibe. My immediate attention went to the shuffleboard which I ended up playing for most of the night. It was actually a lot of fun! Just ask the bartender for the necessary shuffleboard stuff and he'll be happy to give it to you. Also, it was free. Bartender was really nice, he answered couple of my questions about the cocktail menu and made me go for the lions tail based on my preference. Drink was beautifully done, strong but not overpowering and definitely not a 'hole in the wall' bar kinda drink. Basically he knew what he was doing. Ohh and they also had a photo booth area which was cool!

Classic atmosphere, ok drinks and very disinterested service. When asked what kind of rye they had on hand, the dapper bartender simply pointed at the bottles behind him. Thanks.

Staff/owner was very rude. Came in with a group of 4 and we didn't even stay for drinks we were made to feel so uncomfortable.

So, I'll just say I came at the right time - time lunch on a Saturday and it was very chill which I…read moreloved when you walk in the ambiance is so nice and give a peaceful atmosphere which I loved! The host Nina was very friendly and attentive which was nice!! Nina was so sweet and all her recommendations were very helpful and good!! For starters I got the arugula shrimp salad but you do have the option to add beef as well! Oh this salad is so fresh and delicious the dressing was the key it was definitely balsamic and a smoky like favor that I was loving!! The entree was lamb chops with mashed potatoes ohhhh it was literally too pretty to eat lol but it was a nice portion not too much but enough to get you full! The sauce was another favorite and I had to ask for more as I'm a dipper it was very rich and flavorful! The lamb chops were medium well - so it was cooked to perfection!! Now can we talk about the drinks! Again based on Nina's recommendation I got the pink coco (2) and the upstate vodka fresh and I loved them all!! Overall the meals were great-reasonably menu with lots of option for beef, pasta, chicken, salad and sea food! They even had a few vegan options! Their prices in my opinion were reasonable for this meal of summed up to about $85 with taxes but did have 3 drinks and salad w entree! Guys it's such a hidden gem in my opinion as it's nestled close to a few restaurants, but I absolutely loved everything and recommend coming here for a dinner date, or even lunch!! I'll def will be back!!

The drinks are great and during the week it's half off 3-5pm. The service is so friendly and the…read morevibe is very cozy that you'll think you were at a lounge in the city. I'm adding this to spot to frequent in Elmwood park. Thank you for the chill vibes.

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!

Anyone who enjoys both vintage and a tasty libation will love Consignment Lounge! The decor (most…read morefor sale) is outstanding. Some prices were not too bad, but some things were rather costly. While I have so far only been there one time, I would imagine the decor switches often, since it's mostly all for sale. So always something new to see! I got the vibe that many regulars stopped in, as the bartenders were familiar with many faces. The service was excellent, even for us, a couple of first-timers. This bar may not be ideal for large-ish parties, due to how seating is. For instance, we go out often with two other couples, and I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable showing up with a group of six, in case they were busy, and we could not all sit together. I failed to ask if they reserve the bigger seating areas, so maybe that is an option. Draft beer folks may be let down, as they seemingly only ever have three taps, with one being seasonal and not noted on the website. Their "lite" beer option is not listed on the website, but rather noted to be posted on-site. Since this place has been on my radar, Son of Juice is constant on the draft beer menu. Worth noting is that they do have a longer list of bottles and cans. I have not tried any of their craft cocktails, but it's not a bad list. Must mention that they have a cool little basket of vintage pins, in case anyone reading this is into those. I found one that was from an annual tractor pull event near Green Bay, WI that I used to attend almost every year when I lived in the area.

"Welcome back." I…read morehesitate. I know with absolute certainty that I have never stepped foot in Chicago. Yet, the bartenders greet us with such a warm and friendly energy that I know with absolute certainly that I have been a regular at this bar for years. Decades. Centuries. I know within my soul that this was my go-to bar in a past life (and hopefully in the next). Just as welcoming as the awesome people are the $1 PBRs and $3 shots of tequila. And of course they hand out free hot dogs every night at midnight, which in my (intoxicated) mind was cemented as the definitive Chicago dog, even if it comes with no toppings whatsoever. And fittingly complementing the amazing energy of the bar is a 10 hour Youtube video of that memed Ukrainian kid dancing at a club playing endlessly on the TVs. Rocking sunglasses and looking like a stud, absolutely grooving without a single care in the world, and effortlessly matching every single song on the bar's playlist. That kid truly embodies the spirit of this bar. No matter what day it is, what time of day it is, or who visits, the bar's energy always works. Vibing to Black Eyed Peas on a Monday night never felt better. Imma be... back one day, rest assured. I genuinely can't wait for the next time I'm greeted with, "Welcome back."

I can't recommend coming here highly enough, especially if you're hanging out at the bar. First…read moreoff, their cocktail offerings are EXTENSIVE! Something for everyone, including those who want to venture into some funky flavors. But more importantly, their staff are incredible. I've been to a lot of tiki bars lately where the ambiance is great, the drinks are great, but the folks running the show aren't all that engaged. Here everyone was supporting each other, bantering about what drinks best suit a customer's request, and generally just trying to have a good time in the post-midnight-on-a-Friday delirium. That kind of energy makes for such a great time for everyone there. And it wasn't just one or two people working, but maybe about a dozen wrapping up the night. Kevin was more or less the star of my bar experience, but I wish I could have gotten everyone's name because they each played a part in my great time there. If you have one rum-focused bar you can visit in the Chicago area make it this one. You won't regret it.

Super cute spot for Halloween! The bar and indoor space have some fun decorations, but the outdoor…read moretent is where most of the spooky, scary magic happens. Definitely adds to the Halloween vibe! One thing to note is that groups of six or more are charged an automatic 20% gratuity. I usually tip that much anyway, but combined with the pricey, smaller-sized drinks, it felt a little excessive. Overall, a fun place to check out for some Halloween spirit!
