This place is so fun! Live music basically every night in the summer -Check out Richard Peña, such an amazing Jazz artist!- small $5 cover fee, and a long list of drink (including non-alcoholic drinks!) options. Very much good vibes inside with a very cool vintage look! The bathroom was a work of art with all the graffiti, it gave me a good laugh! Great location, check it out!

love this space - for events, just to come dancing or go get a drink it's always active and the bartenders are great at what they do. Love to go for dj sets or notes on masculinity event!

very cute atmosphere and vibe but we were incredibly turned off by the bartender. when we walked in the door and took a look at the menu, he instantly says “welcome to a bar, you have 30 seconds.” super condescending
and i know he wouldn’t make that joke at a group of men. such a bummer because we like the vibe a lot but that was such a turn off from returning:(

Such a cool jazz place. My friend and I had followed this band from another spot but this was top notch. I like the red lights and the drinks were great to match. Had some malort which the locals begged my friend and I to drink 🤷🏻‍♀️ Would come back again when visiting Chicago

I enjoyed this bar - recommend going when there is a DJ or music type you know. It attracts a pretty diverse crowd and is wheelchair accessible. $5 cover not bad at all!

Cool decor but horrible techno music. Like shrill, screamy house music that hurts your ears. Not chill at all. Kind of a chaotic crowd, no organization at bar. We wanted to love this place but it was just bizarre all around. If you want a true cool, easy lounge vibe, go to Sportsman’s down the street.

Great management, awesome community, free weeknight events occasionally, it's always lit! Love the NA options.
