I don't know why it took me so long to try this place but I'm so happy I finally did. This is now my go-to for delicious cocktails in Chicago. The bartenders paid attention to each drink, keeping everything well balanced. I'm craving for the Empress cocktail as I type this review.

The cocktails are fun but unbalanced. Cosmo was too sweet, and not tart enough. It almost tasted as if they used lime cordial instead of lime or lemon juice to make the cocktail. Vibes were fun. Service was ok.

Meh. Crowded. Okay. Good drinks. Would come back on a less crowded night. Dark and moody

Too hoity-toity for my taste. Overly priced drinks that cannot compare to nearby Marty's. I did enjoy the casual, quiet atmosphere.

Stopped in in a whim hoping to get a proper cocktail and I was more than satisfied with the drinks we got! Great bartender, drinks we’re fantastic and so delicious. Good environment and nice patrons. Looking forward to returning.To the bartender: Mil gracias por hacer un buen cóctel! Quizá yo te vaya en España!

Had time for a drink before dinner reservations in area and absolutely loved this find!!! Just off Main Street on side corner but so glad stopped by! Lucky enough to get front couch area which was relaxing and felt special! Server was excellent and friendly/attentive. Drink was spot on and reasonably priced for experience! Will be back!

Recently visited for a friend's birthday and the service was perfect! Absolutely perfect! It makes a huge difference when the guys working behind the bar are also doing service. As someone that doesn't drink, most places don't really have the skills to make an interesting non-alcoholic drink so I am normally stuck with a lemonade soda. Last night was a major exception. Not only did Ryan make me a custom mocktail. He made 3 different ones throughout the night. I didn't feel left out and my friends were jealous at how good my drinks were. I saw some of the other comments regarding how busy it gets. I've been here before and it can get quite busy. Busy days tend to be the warmer days, so chill, relax, and have a good time. Definitely will return.

This spot is a more high energy cocktail spot - which is they totally make work. They executed the classic cocktails perfectly and their seasonal list was fun, and super tasty. The Apple Bottom cocktail definitely was the highlight, the oat milk apple cider horchata offered a ton of depth flavor wise but also a velvety consistency, so definitely interested in popping in again to check out more of their specials.

Perfect place for Tuesday night, if you are visiting Anderson Ville

I usually only write positive reviews but felt this was warranted from my experience last night. Awful bartender was so rude and weird. I smiled and simply asked for a menu and he refused and started tweeking, and kept rudely repeating "just tell me what you want". I was very taken aback and tried to ease the situation he created. I asked about the drink menu as i have been here many times before and enjoyed what they served. No other words, no explanation. Just kept repeating "ya no... just tell me what you want" in increasingly rude tone. This place is known for unique drinks, which is what i wanted- i didnt come here for a rum and coke. Offered to search the menu online from my phone and he got increasingly agressive and uncomfortable. It was strange how unhinged he became simply through being asked the most basic question a server is asked. I walked out. Will never return.If you come here, make sure you telepathically know what they serve and don't you dare ask for a menu.
