I hosted my birthday celebration at Darrin’s Lounge. While the space itself was okay, several operational issues affected the overall experience.
From the start, bartenders required customers to leave their credit cards behind the bar, which I found inappropriate. My father opened a tab for my birthday. Money was not an issue at all, as this was a celebration and he intended to cover drinks. The concern was that the final amount charged did not reflect what I observed being ordered or consumed, as drinks were added for people bartenders assumed were part of our group, without clear confirmation.
Later, my fiancé ordered a drink and his card was also held. A bartender stated she needed to keep it and contact her boss because his drink had been mistakenly added to another patron’s tab. That error did not justify holding his card. He canceled the order, and I requested his card back.
Additionally, I was directed to set up catered food in an area where mouse glue traps were visible on the floor, which is not appropriate in a food-serving area.
Overall, the concern was not cost, but lack of transparency, questionable card-handling practices, and cleanliness issues. These factors prevented the experience from meeting expectations, and I will not be returning.

Slid through Darrin's on 87th for a chill night. Caught their happy hour, half-off drinks from 6 to 8 pm. Grabbed a couple of strong cocktails and some $1 wings. Wings hit the spot, and the DJ had the place vibin'. Spent around $25 total. Only knock is the service can be a bit slow when it's packed, but overall, it's a solid South Side spot to unwind.

I went to a paint and sip there. The host of the paint and sip did a great job. The wait staff were nice, I didn’t care too much for the drink but my sister did. The space was small but it wasn’t too crowded so I guess that was okay. The music was good. Overall I’ll go back.

Never go here they're not serving the drinks that they advertise. I ordered a certain type of tequila I always drink and they gave me a different drink but it was in the bottle of what I drink

It's a nice spot to chill and have a good time without there being a bunch or drama or mess.

The tall bartender didn't pay me any mind. I was in her face for about 3 mins before the shortest bartender spotted and serviced me.
