Cheeky cocktails, wicked cozy atmosphere and friendly service. This little room where you can eat delicious chicken, to the sounds of retro soundtracks is what Vancouverites need. Highly recommended if you're looking for something off the beaten path for a casual drink or snacks.

Went there on a Tuesday evening to catch up with some friends and they had a lot of tables available. They have a small dine-in space but the vibe of the place is quiet nice, very upbeat and a good place to get some after work cocktails + fried chicken. We asked for a table for 5 people but the table they gave us was probably only good for 4 people. They do have a bar table that can fit a bigger group but I would say if you are looking to go with a larger group, this place might be a squeeze. Their cocktails were really good! I wasn't drinking that day so I asked them if they had any non-alcoholic drinks, they said that they could make few of their cocktails without the booze so I did that and it was pretty nice! I got the mint cocktail which was really refreshing :) their drink menu is bigger than their food menu. For food I got their famous chicken and waffles and really loved it!! I got it with extra spicy sauce and jalapenos. The fried chicken itself was spicy as well. Compared to the usual chicken and waffles, these were much better because it had more flavour. My friends also got their wings, brussel sprouts, sandwiches, and salad. Everything was pretty good but the salad was not the best. This is more of a fried chicken place. I would surely go back again :) the staff were all very friendly and took the time to go through the menu with us.

Met some friends here the other night and was quite impressed with this intimate lounge! The place is small but has an uptown vibe, with exposed brick, neon, a few booths and some smaller tables. There were two guys working here when I visited, and both were awesome. They knew the food and cocktail menus inside out. I asked for a cocktail that wasn't gin based and more on the sweet side. They brought me out this drink that was unbelievably delicious - one of the best cocktails I ever had. No exaggeration. I had two of them! Everyone in my party loved their drinks. All were so so good. Food-wise, they get their food from Juke next door. The food menu is pretty small but they can make you some dishes to order that aren't on the menu. My friends had fried chicken and waffles, and various chicken sandwiches, and all these dishes looked and smelled incredible. My friends loved them. Unfortunately, I ordered a salad. It was $15 so I thought it would be...special, in some way, with some sort of protein in it, or some nicer vegetables or cheese (beets? Goat cheese crumbles? Something). But it was SO plain, consisting mostly of chopped lettuce, some radish and red onion slices, a few halved cherry tomatoes, a sprinkling of seeds on the top, and a few pieces of cubed orange cheddar cheese. Very very basic and, although fresh and decently portioned, not worth $15 IMO. To top it off, it was presented in a disposable circular cardboard container (like for take-out. Not even on a plate, despite us all dining in). Next time I'll stick to the chicken or rib food options. This place is great for cocktails, and for limited - but excellent - fried chicken dishes. With its intimate seating and dim lighting, it'd be a great date night place.

Great place for late night food and drink. I wish they had just fried chicken on the menu without the sandwiches. That would really make it perfect. I love the fries, brussel sprouts and coleslaw.

Their spicy fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had, and I loved the 80's neon vibe they've got going on. The service was pretty underwhelming, though.

I had been wanting to try this place so long time. Once we arrived late evening and it was packed. We drove past Sunday late afternoon and needed some energy before we went home to make dinner. This was a great quick drop for an energy boost.When arrived at their Happy Hour, any cocktails come with two pieces of free chicken. The cocktail called Ward 9 was very good. The chicken was alright.We had a junior juke sandwich. It was good. It was quite small as it was a junior so don’t expect it as a meal but more like a snack. We also ordered a side of waffle which was not that good. It was like warm and slight soggy, but it did the job.Excellent atmosphere as it is a cocktail bar after all.I liked how they presented their bill in a cassette tape!Parking: There are paid parking in Chinatown and will be a short walk to here.
Ok, well, we only had fries, but they were delicious, and that was the best drink I had all nigh: Kah Like it Hot? I think? Super yum anyway. The servers were really friendly and even remembered my friend from the one either time she was in. Really enjoyed the visit. We'll be back!

We ordered poutine but it did not taste anything like poutine because the gravy was something else but not poutine gravy.

If "pretentious hipster douche" was incarnated in bar form, this is what you'd get. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh because the ambience is cool and the drinks look great, but the customer service was not. If you're a hot dressed up girl or a suspender wearing moustache waxed hipster, expect to get treated well. If you're just an average bloke looking for a quick no nonsense drink, steer clear. I told em I was just looking to get loaded on my way to a show. They took their sweet fking time even tho there were barely any customers. I've worked in service for years and if a customer sits down at the bar and says they are en route to a show, take the hint and get them a quick drink. Majority of staff stood around while one guy tried to do everything himself (and made a big show of it too, must be what happens when all your customers are obsessed with instagram) 30 minutes later, all my time wasted, I had one piddly little weak ass drink in me and was 20 bucks poorer. Rogers arena would have been cheaper. Server failed to mention the specials and was totally unwilling to help me get the strong drink I clearly communicated to him I needed. My friend is better at speaking "pretentious douche" than I and had the sense to use the term "spirit forward" which the server seemed to respond to in a more helpful way. I know that a lot of vancouverites really enjoy this overpriced pretentious bullshit but it just wasn't for me. If you spend lots of money on your physical appearance, went to art school, and have a rich daddy, please, take my seat, this place was built for you. I'll be over at the shameful tiki paying a reasonable amount for a VERY strong drink in a more relaxed atmosphere; and it'll take about 5 minutes to get it to me even with a packed house.

Previously Juke Fried chicken, They decided to divide the restaurant into 2 parts, having a more "fast food like" Juke Fried Chicken and a more cocktails bar on The Chickadee Room.Went there with my gf on Sept 2nd, a Saturday night. We had 2 cocktails each and we ate several dishes of their "late night" menu. We were accommodated quickly and there was no many people there. Music is loud and light is dim.Cocktails were fine but worse than I expected. Been there before when it was called juke Fried chicken and the cocktails were better. I would say it's a good place to wait for Keefer bar XDMy problem this time was with the food. We ordered the fried chicken expecting to have some chicken from their sister restaurant and the waitress said "The chicken comes cold, is that ok?", as I wasn't sure what to expect, I said, "Sure...". Oh well, these people are selling literally Juke fried chicken leftovers that they put in the fridge and give it to you straight, no heating no any preparation and at the same price as freshly made fried chicken. This is OUTRAGEOUS. DISGUSTING idea.Cocktails, fine. Food, horrible.
