About Bernard’s

Bernard's is a sophisticated cocktail lounge located on the 2nd floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. This elegant and dark atmosphere pays tribute to its namesake, Bernard Heerey, through its dedication to charitable causes. The mixologists are creative and well-trained, known for their Japanese whiskey Old Fashioned and Old Serrano cocktails. The menu offers a variety of drinks in the $20-$30 range, including spirit-free options. The staff is generally kind and attentive, with some bartenders bringing great energy and professionalism. The bar focuses on cocktails, and their signature sidecar is particularly nice. Although they sometimes run out of popular choices, the bar manager is helpful and brings in special bottles from the restaurant when needed. The atmosphere is cozy and very nice, creating a romantic setting perfect for drinks and conversation. While some reviews mention minor inconsistencies, overall, Bernard's remains a stylish and unique destination praised for its fabulous drinks, great ambiance, and welcoming service.
