Really cool atmosphere, the craft cocktails are delicious. I’m excited to come back in the summer when the garage doors can be open!

I’ve never been more disappointed of this place, a place I personally have recommended over and over to friends and fam and come to every time I have a chance. The first drinks were served by a female bartender, we ordered 2 mezcal drinks .. after an hour or so and before leaving we ordered one more to share between my husband and a bartender with a scarf brought us a drink that by color, was extremely watered down - we always have the mezcal drinks which are yellow toned and whatever he brought wasn’t even yellow, it was crystal clear. When we questioned him, he started yelling and claimed the music was loud so he used a louder tone. We asked to close the tab and over and over told him the name of my card and he refused to listen with the most gross attitude walking away. The female bartender walked back, super defensive attitude, and said “It’s your drink and he served the end of the draft” Anyone with 10% brain would deny or decline that but for whatever reason they thought we had to receive this - drink we declined twice. The third bartender, with a gross smirk on his face — dismissed us and told us “Have a good night” Coming from someone who’s done this job, this is a disgusting way to acknowledge customers and dismiss them regardless of the fact that they wanted us to sip on a drink that was “the end of the draft.” I don’t know how much you care about this, but you have forever destroyed our love for estéreo & estéreo FM — for 100% we will never come back or pass word of mouth to an establishment that behaves this way — this isn’t how you treat people unless you assume everyone is drunk and you get away with this behavior! With our Latino industry hurting, I am more than ok with sharing the disgusting service we received tonight. From a biz owner to another — check in your staff, shittiest, lowest service I’ve seen a while. DO BETTER! Whoever is catching these you’re clearly ignoring all your recent reviews about the staff you have behind the bar - check yourself or close it up. GROSS!

Whoever the bartender wearing the ascot was last night, don't quit your day job sir. My husband ordered a beer and a paloma. You forgot the beer, and the paloma was single handedly the worst drink anyone in our group has ever had.

Formerly one of my favorite bars in the area, and I’ve recommended it to many people. I even brought my parents there! Never again. Went on a warm, sunny afternoon, it was less than 1/3 full, so ample seating at the bar or by the walls (wide open to the fresh air). At first the music was ‘surprisingly loud but tolerable’. Over the course of 30mins, it became so loud that I could barely hear the afternoon blue line trains less than a block away. There were children passing by in strollers, covering their ears. Just awful. You truly cannot hear yourself think, let alone converse with others. Estereo used to be so chill, people brought their dogs here and you could make friends. Yes it was loud at night, but this was broad daylight and nearly empty. At this point, they’ve actively ruined a good thing.

I think this place is nice with its location and cheap drinks but the bouncers have attitude. I had been trying to use the restroom for 10 mins but everytime I went over there the stalls were busy so finally my sister and I go over there and go in real quick since it had taken so long to wait and exit after probably 2 mins. I am immediately stopped while heading back to my table saying that I now have a verbal stern warning for using the restroom with someone else. This message wasn’t delivered in a chill understanding way rather he scolded me like a child. Will truly never return, I understand policies exist but being physically stopped as if I had committed some insane crime felt insane to me, truly RANCID vibes.

Everything is imported from Mexico this place has a flair of contemporary meets 1960s. This place has a legitimate record player where they actually play music from. Different music is playing from different parts of the world mainly it sounds like from the 1960s and maybe 1970s a lot of different Latin music as well as other parts of the world.
Two large disco balls that could probably fit in a huge hall absolutely beautiful.
If you're coming out to a hip spot to have some nice fresh classic drinks with a twist this is the place for you.
We did not get an opportunity to look at the rooftop but apparently this is for special events so feel free to reach out to the establishment so you can book a time and a date.
Staff is very knowledgeable on their drinks and is very friendly.
Come on out you will not be disappointed.

So, my 2nd visit to Chicago I couldn’t wait to visit this bar again the drinks in August of 24’ were amazing and so was the Lady Bartender! This time September 4,2025 around 5:45pm the Bouncer was someone to be desired, the Bartender the same! My daughter and I waited close to 20 mins. No acknowledgement what so ever! Photo from 2024!!!!

I was so excited to bring my friends (all girls) from outta town here Friday, 09/05. The bouncer (bald guy with glasses)was so rude, that we just decided to not even go in l. I have no reason to go back. We all went to Welcome Back Lounge down the street and had such a great time!! I will never step foot at Estereo and warn any group of girls not to go here.
Always a dependable spot to hit up on a week day or weekend. I’ve also loved taking visitors here who equally appreciate the vibe, aesthetic, and drinks menu. Service is usually quite prompt even on busier nights. The original Logan location is better than West Loop/Fulton’s, imo, but both are intrinsically Estereo.

The bouncer (8.16) was very rude. Giving power trip and priority was not to keep people safe as is job for security. Also spit in our face.
Left before going in because his energy WAS NOT IT.

Loved this place. If you are a mezcal, or tequila fan. Please stop by, you will enjoy their unique cocktails. Not only that, but you will try other unique Latin spirits that I guarantee you’ve never had; such as Raicilla, pisco, cachaça, etc… Clementine and Ariel were awesome mixologists. They know their drinks, the history, the process, of how their spirits are made. You want a good vibe, good drinks and good shots… this is your spot. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend having the mixologist give you their recommendations.
PS. Don’t ask for Casamigos, or Don Julio.. those aren’t real tequila. You will see after this place.

Stumbled in for late night drinks, and glad we did! The servers and bouncers were friendly, the vibe and music was cool, and the mix drink specials were plenty. I highly recommend the Paloma (one of the best I’ve had) 👌

I’ll keep this short- just like my time spent at Estereo. I truly hope this place goes out of business. The way they treat people, especially women, is unacceptable. The bouncers are beyond rude and aggressive for no reason. While I was being yelled at, another woman who was clearly too drunk was causing a scene - but they didn’t care, because she was still buying drinks. It’s obvious this place prioritizes profit over safety or decency. As a local resident, I’m ashamed that an establishment like this exists in my neighborhood.
