My favorite bar, so I'm a little biased. In any case, great cocktails, a big beer selection, and friendly clientele. PLUS if you're bored, you can always watch folks getting tattoos next door via the CCTV feed.

walked here after meeting up with my sibling and his friend. had such a fun time and ended up getting my nose pierced on a whim. bartender was nice but my piercer, Adrian (or maybe it was Gabriel?) was so incredibly sweet and welcoming. 60$ for a super quick and painless piercing. hygienic and professional. gonna come back here for all my piercings.

My sister and I got tatted here. Cute bar, good vibes! I'd be going back for drinks and not necessarily the tatts again though.

If you ever have a thought about getting a tattoo, come to drink and ink. Not only are the professionals able to inform you appropriately, but the place is so cool to get inked up. This bar next door to the tattoo factory is the best place to watch someone get inked while having a nice drink. The bartenders are great, and honestly the bar is nostalgic. The bar itself is lined with tattoo sketches. There are video games to play. There are also decorative jewelry (for piercings) lining the bar too.Overall such a cool place.

We were a large group that had many people getting tattoos and a larger group of those offering support while hiding from the needles! We had great service and a fun atmosphere! Drinks & Ink made a special drink for us. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Very nice bar!!!

The name alone should tell you not to do it here. Especially if you get bobby Sox.

My favorite hole in the wall bar. Cheap drinks, great staff and you get to watch the patrons next door get tattooed on the tv behind the bar. Stop in and play dominoes with Josh while drinking a Maxwell (shot of whiskey and a PBR)
As bizarre as it is, my friend and I went into Drink and Ink just to sit and talk at a bar! We didn't order any alcohol but our barista was kind enough to offer us alternative options to drink (this amazing sparkling water and pineapple juice) it was great! It can get pretty rowdy but not too overwhelming, this bar is amazing! I will have to come back.

Love this place! Stopped in there twice, by the 3rd time the bartender knew us! Small place but awesome atmosphere. Friendly service and good selection. Regulars that go there all super friendly, always a good time! They even have a N64 with the classics! Josh is awesome! Plus...:you can watch the people get tattooed next door.

It is the best bar in Chicago in my humble opinion
