There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)!
Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.

Pips has always had some of the most amazing mead I have ever tried. At this new location, they have expanded the vision to also include session meads (sometimes lower ABV), outstanding mead cocktails, fantastic classic cocktails, and craft beer. The people on the Pips team are just amazing… always a good time with them.
This place has been on my list for a couple of years and I finally made it in. Glad I did. I thought I knew what mead was until coming here. The selection and flavors are amazing. Best part is that many of their meads are available as 2oz pours so that you can try a bunch of them without over consuming. Atmosphere is laid back and comfortable with plenty of room. Bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Pips Meadery / The Parlor at Pips Meadery is a find in Gurnee, offering delicious handcrafted cocktails made with infused liquors, homemade syrups, and meads. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, with Joy providing exceptional service. The ambiance is cozy, with seating options at the bar, high tables, or couches, and games to play. The mead and cocktails are creative and fantastic, with interesting and unique flavors and pretty presentation. It’s a fun vibe for a date night, and kids are also welcome (just not at the bar). The owner is on site and very friendly, and there’s a variety of options serving wine, beer, mead, and cocktails—something for everyone. Everything tried is equally good in its own way, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a drink.
