    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.

    See all

    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.

    One of my absolute favorite Chicago bars. The cocktails are excellent, bartenders extraordinary, and the place just feels like home.

    They also have a shuffleboard, so if you have never played it get there soon and learn, it is rather addictive.

    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!

    What a cute place! Stopped in for happy hour on a Tuesday around 430pm. Deals are pretty good…read more Cocktails for $8, draft beers for $6 and there was a deal on wine too. The place had a few other small groups around with two bartenders available. Service was top notch and the bartender we spoke with was very knowledgeable about the menu and spirits in general. You could tell he took pride in and enjoyed mixology.
