One of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. We had the most uncomfortable, aggressive interaction with the server (who I believe may also be the owner but unsure after his weird trans joke) while trying to understand our bill and why we were overcharged.
The place was also a mess when we walked in. I love a neighborhood spot and usually keep my reviews to positive ones but felt this had to be shared.

amazing local neighborhood wine and cocktail bar. Good decor, vibe, drinks, and hosts — what more could you ask for!

Avoid this place. It's not a "dive bar". It's a bland "call bar". I ordered a gin and tonic that was golden in color and off. Next, I had an old fashioned that was just whiskey and ice. You might find a better bartender at Applebees. The place is weird, loud, uncharming, boring bar menu. I have no idea how this place exists in Bucktown. It's not a wine bar. No wine on the menu. Prices are average. Do yourself a favor, skip it.

Former dive bar - now a hip and comfortable spot. The Martini came with a sidecar. Gotta love that.

Great new spot in Bucktown!! We are so excited to have this around the corner. Customer service is excellent. Cocktails are 10/10. Atmosphere feels unique and artistic while also feeling warm and welcoming. Looking forward to more stops here!

Excellent place for a classy cocktail and good conversation. Owner was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable. My favorite drink was the margarita and the special punch (which changes daily). I also really enjoyed the espresso martini and the sangria. The vibes of this place are impeccable and so excited to have a new neighborhood bar.

Wonderful craft cocktail and wine bar in the neighborhood. The staff was friendly and had the prefect suggestions based on my preferences. This is a much needed bar in the neighborhood.

Loved their Manhattan(s) and complimentary infused water + Cheetos. Not as pricey as TRUCE. Vibe is more cozy, less noisy (as of now).

We are so happy to have this place open again! They’ve made some great changes and it’s a great bar with some fun cocktails and European wine options! It’s a quintessential “Chicago” bar, full of fun art, vibes, and conversation. Can’t wait to make it a regular spot.
So much love put into this place , will try to come regularly. People really know their stuff hear, best cocktails ever

The kind of bar they don't make anymore. The beer is cheap, it's open late, and you can get lost marveling at the lush decor. Just don't forget cash.

A must visit for the dive bar crowd. Great owners in a very unassuming location. Much larger than it appears. Fun games inside

You won't find too many places like this. A warm welcome for my wife and I - a pair of strangers visiting from Ireland - as if we were regulars. Incredible collections of ephemera stored in rotating display boxes (all built by one of the owners). Jukebox and some fun bar games - like spinning a wheel to determine your next drink.
