Ive passed this bar for sooo many years finally checked it out. I like to sit at the wells and watch them make drinks (only sit there if you’re going to leave the bartenders alone, they are busy!) good bartenders and I had a bar snack that was so tasty. It was torched sardines with pickled onions and a honey mustard sauce. So good, will be back for sure

Great bar with lively atmosphere. I should note we went there for the food, which was great. Got their cheese potato nuggets, loaded fries, pull apart pizza bread, Oklahoma party melt, and chubby smash. All were amazing and some of the best burgers I've had in Chicago.

An amazing cocktail lounge. The mixologist here are awesome. The drinks take a little bit longer than your average bar, but its worth it. These drinks are made with love. As someone who has worked in the service industry I can tell this place is labor lf love, and should be appreciated. Everytime I've come here i felt welcomed. This is a quality cocktail lounge. Julie, and Joel were nothing short of amazing. They were a great conversation, and were very welcoming when I came in!

I went for the Spilt Milk x Kasama food event. The staff was transparent and friendly to everyone waiting for the event. Bartenders were moving! They were great at getting drink orders out and checking in with patrons. The sandwich was so good! The sesame bun was soft and buttery. Meatball was cooked to perfection. The cheese added a touch of saltiness. Giardenara tying everything together. A true Chicago meal. It's boozy cocktail that was paired with was refreshing. The meal per person was $25 (before tax and tip) per person. Glad I had the opportunity to attend one of these events. Overall, highly recommend! Their house cocktails were too tasty. RBS and Marvelous Miss Basil are heavy hitters. WILL VISIT AGAIN.

Great drinks and the staff was attentive despite being quite busy on a Saturday night. Surprisingly, not super packed and cute patio in the back had plenty of seating as well. Drinks were nice and strong!
I had such a wonderful experience at Spilt Milk in Chicago! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the smash burger and absolutely loved the combination of cherry peppers, fried onions, and their delicious chubby sauce. A perfect spot to enjoy great food with great vibes.

service feels rude and inattentive. cocktails just don’t have the same care they used to.

Can’t fairly review the bar or its service because the bouncer kicked my friends & I out before we could experience it. The white bouncer was incredibly racist, assaulted one of my friends, and kicked us out without providing any reason or rationale. When we were outside the establishment, we were approached by other people who agreed that the bouncer is a problem and they’ve had issues with him as well. If you’re a person of color, I would proceed with caution when going to Spilt Milk, especially if they don’t fire this bouncer after all that has occurred.

Came for the cocktails and vibe but the most amazing part was the Chubby Boys kitchen inside. Seriously maybe the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. You order at the back and get a buzzer when it’s ready you pick it up. The fried chicken sandwich was on the perfect Texas style toast with a huge serving of chicken, smothered in a spicy brown gravy style mustard sauce, they call it Chubby Sauce. The fries are curly fries, perfectly crunchy and soft. The smash burger took us back to childhood nostalgic memories and was the perfect blend of grease and meat. Honestly. Divine. Cocktails were good, bit small but atmosphere was loud and vibrant for a Saturday night in Chicago. Highly recommend for the food!!

The vibes are immaculate when Joel’s working, the dude can run the bar blindfolded with his hand tied behind his back. Music taste slaps as well
