“I've visited Osito's Tap a handful of time, but now I definitely need to be a regular. I was here last night for their Preservation bourbon tasting. It was an enjoyable evening learning and tasting some great bourbon, plus a nice dinner menu created by Osito's Tap very own Executive Chef. I've missed out on similar tastings here before, so I was happy to make this one.

As for the bar itself, it's a speakeasy with a giant Mezcal menu. If you're looking for great cocktails, an easy going spot, and good company. Then this is a place to be at. Definitely a GEM in the Little Village neighborhood.“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“A great place to have a party, the ambience is great and I will be back here again next time, the drinks and food are delicious too!“

“Fun atmosphere and excellently crafted drinks.“

“Great bar with cool atmosphere and drinks. Dark Shadows was playing on the tv. The Electric Funeral cocktail is very tropical but I can’t wait to have the drink in the viper snake glass. Not sure but I think you can buy the glass. Bridgeport favorite Old Style and Malort has its own electric sign. It’s small and gets very crowded on the weekends but Thursday night was very chill so this will be my go to after eating at the Ramova during the week.“

Can catch Harry Potter, sports, or weird cooking shows at the bar if desired, or chat it up with the beloved staff.
Cute outdoor seating beneath trees with lights when the weather is favorable.“

“So exciting! Two titans joining forces, Kevin Beary from the world famous Three Dots and a Dash along with Bob Broskey from the RPM empire! This should be amazing and a great use of the space that's always been known for being a "best of River North"!“

The drinks are expertly crafted, with a creative menu that has something for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Whether you're grabbing a casual drink or celebrating a special occasion, this place offers a fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes every visit memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and inviting spot in the city!“

“The Aviary is all about cocktail presentation, The Office is all about the cocktail itself. Every drink is unique and very well balanced, they also have a massive offering of spirits that are hard to find. The environment is very intimate, dark and relaxed. Perfect for a couple or a maximum group of 4. The mixologists are more than happy to craft a drink for you, they are very knowledgeable and know exactly what to recommend. I 100% recommend this place, specifically for people that enjoy a unique drink. Other notes:
-You should reserve online ahead of time, specifically for weekend visits. Online reservations give you the option of an a la carte experience, an hour experience (comes with 2 drinks/person and 2 small bites), or a tasting menu that includes a taste of their most popular small plates, cocktails, spirits and vintage collections
-If you go during the week, you'll be able to get in without a reservation
-They have small bites only, no full dinne. But dang are those snacks tasty! They have a pizza popcorn that will have you questioning reality. So good!
-As of 2026, their menu did not include zero proof/NA options, but I'm sure they can craft a mocktail if you ask your bartender.“

“Fun pre dinner drink spot in the heart of Fulton market. A little tricky to find so make sure you enter SoHo house from the far right entrance and make your way up the staircase to your right. Then left through the saloon style doors into this tiny bar. Fun atmosphere with a ton of photos and memorabilia on the walls. Be warned there is only seating for about 40 people and it starts to fill up around 6:30. Odd selection of drinks on draft (twisted tea??) and Guinness not served in a Guinness glass but the apricot cocktail was awesome. A little pricey but so is everything in Fulton. Good stop for a date night.“

“Sunday Funday watching NFL“

“Watched UFC 327 here. Visiting from Columbus Ohio and had an immaculate time. I laughed at Johnny walker, I cheered for Paulo costa, and I cried for Jiri. Absolutely unforgettable night. Staff was attentive and social without being overbearing and very professional for your average sports bar. SIDE NOTE NEGATIVE: Wasn't aware of the street closure later on in the night and thought I maxed out parking time for the night because I couldn't add more but was given a $100 parking ticket.“

“Awesome tacos! Nice staff“

“Delicious pizza, great food overall, good daily specials. reasonable beer prices and friendly, attentive bartenders! I love this place.“

“I love a cute little bar, and this spot definitely delivers. I’ve been to Inkwell a couple of times now, and it always has such a great vibe cozy, stylish, and just the right energy. The drinks are really good too. I’d recommend getting there early before it gets crowded. Plus, there’s street parking available, which is always a bonus.“

“Love this place❤️so welcoming great drinks,great prices, the environment is so awesome everyone is sooooo nice. They also have banda days which are so much fun. And you guys have to come visit Liz she makes the best drinks hands down. Definitely recommend this bar.“

“Number one, lance was the best bartender we had in Chicago all day. He was so fun, easy going, and hilarious! He made our visit worth it. The space is so fun, speak easy, with a twist of Hispanic culture. So fun but chill at the same time. We spent 3 hours here without knowing. Highly recommend if visiting!“

“Great taco restaurant, great food and service. Edil, thank you for the great service, very kind and timely service. The best.“

“By far the best bar when it comes to service, they are very attentive and always greet you with a smile! The bartenders are lovely and definitely help create a fun and positive atmosphere🩷 Highly recommend!“

“Hands down the best hotel experience I’ve had thus far in life. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Chicago now! I will be sure to book here next time I’m downtown. Special shoutout to Nina (unfortunately that’s the only name I remember, but everyone deserves their own shout out). She was so so kind and thoughtful. I was deeply touched that she carried my luggage out because the bellman was away briefly. That’s what makes hotels like this stand out! 🙂 I actually got a little teary eyed writing this just upon reflecting on the kindness of the staff. All the best! - James Schauff 🫶🏼“

“Great place for a drink on the weekends, after work, and more. Kevin and his team are great peeps. Summertime take advantage of the patio. Food is delish!“

“This was my first time using 99 Haus Balloons for my daughter's 2nd birthday party and they went above and beyond!! Absolutely worth every penny and will be a repeat customer for all my balloon needs! Fabulous service, the product looked amazing and my daughter was in love with the balloons. Everything I could have asked for! So easy to pick up and ready on time. Thank for you such a job well done!! Highly recommend!“
