This was my first time coming here at night, and I have to say I had an amazing experience! I ended up going out both of my days off—Friday and Saturday.
At first, some girls were complaining about the bathroom line, but the female security guard handled everything so well. She kept everyone in line, stayed professional, and made sure things ran smoothly. She was honestly one of the main reasons I came back on Saturday—she was amazing!

Expat is simply the best! Between the delicious food, warm ambience and unbelievably kind staff, You won’t find a better place for a cocktail or a bite in Chicago!!! I have hosted a private event there for two years and somehow it just keeps getting better.
