Loved the old machine in Wicker Park, the new machine in River North is just as good if not better. The atmosphere, the service, and the food and drinks are all wonderful. They have zero proof cocktails as well, which is nice.

SUCH a cool spot!! My husband and I stumbled upon this on accident and now so happy we did! The whole staff is extremely friendly and having been a regular at their sister bar next door I’d expect nothing less. We live just blocks away and know we will be back.

If you loved the old machine like I did, the new machine won’t disappoint. After only a week open again, they are finding their groove and serving up excellent cocktails. Staff are friendly and the lighting and atmosphere are tre cool.

Machine-Cocktail Bar was a beautiful experience. Truly, you can’t beat great staff, cocktails and ambience. Our server, Lore, was the absolute sweetest. She was so knowledgeable about each cocktail and passionate about creating an experience and delivering masterpieces to every guests. Truly, she was one of the best servers I have had in a long time— genuine and full of wonderful energy. I would recommend going to Machine 1000%, and if you’re luck enough to have Lore as your server your experience will be even more unforgettable.

Your date or group of friends will be delighted by the decorations and roaming florist. Servers enthusiastically describe each dish to you in detail and check on your experience with gusto. Food is ultimately lacking in oomph but cocktails are stellar.

One of my favorite spots! The food is great and drinks are creative and delicious. Most of all, I appreciate the pride the employees have in what they do. It’s a great sign that things are going right. One of the employees even surprised us with a sweet mini bouquet for our little one. Adorable!

The most notable thing about this restaurant is how nice everyone was. From the host to the bus person, everyone was super friendly and informative. The food was great. I had the cherry miso salmon and it was fantastic. They asked if this was a special occasion and it was my birthday, so they gave us glasses of a liquor to toast with and lit a candle in my dessert. Nice atmosphere,very pretty with the flower theme.
Amazing cocktails, and service. Had a great date night at Machine. Lovely restaurant that has spent attention to all the small details. I will definitely be back again. Loved everything about this place.

Food was mid. Customer service and drink were good. I recommend getting there during happy hour because they are a bit on the pricey side ?.

I've been here several times before this experience and was always pleased. Unfortunately, this last time was not the same. One of my friends ordered a burger well done and it came out medium. They made her another one and it had a hair mixed into the patty and the bun. The staff was very apologetic, removed it from our bill, and gave us free dessert.

The menu is trash, they wouldn’t let me add a side of mashed potatoes.The steak comes with a side of rosemary and thyme lol. What is that? It’s really sad. Drinks are also not well made. Not worth it.
