I'm relocating back to the Chicago land area, and I have not been in a bar in over 11 years since my fiance passed! But I must say that I feel comfortable there and everyone is like family, and you definitely get your money's worth with the drinks! I love the atmosphere of the place! It's my cousin's favorite place to mingle, and now it's definitely one of mine as well! It's always a blessing to meet good people, because it's not too many left in this cold world!

Vibe was cool and bartenders were nice

I use to go here, it was a decent place at one time.. The music is too damn loud for a place that size. Many people I know stop going there because of it. I've noticed some of the clientele has changed.

Licorice Lounge embodies the Southside Chicago lounge experience. The atmosphere is incredible, drinks are reasonable, DJs are fantastic, bartenders are fun, the owner is engaging, and the outside patio is what's up!

On Mondays they've added karaoke with Showtime (which is so much fun), but the bartender literally denied making our drinks because she say they were too much work for the tip. It was a LI and I still had a tab open. I've never experienced someone at their job, not doing their job, talking about customers who want her service, and the customers had no attitude. It was so off putting. Like mind boggling... Getting a tip, telling the person who tipped you it's not enough, so just stopped making the drink, and doing work at her job.

Drinks were good when we finally got service. Other than that, it was a nice atmosphere with an adult crowd. I can appreciate that.

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE! Booked a space for a party. Had to cut a deal with the DJ for use of his personal speaker because theirs didn't work. Booked the spot for 8p-2a. But was told at 12 we had to leave the back area. When asked why was given a reason of a 'city ordinance' and was told that we weren't ordering drinks, which was untrue. The disrespectful manner in which i was spoken to by the owner was disheartening. And it really upsets me that 'Black' local business treats its customers this way and then wonder why its more desirable to do business ont the other side of town. STAY AWAY from this dont bre the nexr horror story.
I have this to say you can not sit at NO BODY bar and not buy a drink if that the case stay home if you coming in the Licorice lounge you have to buy a drink to sit on the bar( Essence Elms)... Second, it's NO mold in the bathroom. The bathrooms are clean daily (Taffy C). This is a lounge, stays home with all the negative. If you had a problem with the bathroom, you should have come to a manager. We have great customers that come support us every day... Thank everybody who comes out to support us ????
