What are terrific tucked-away little bar. It's a grown-up place for cocktails with a serious 70s vibe. The music is influenced by Funk and a pleasure to listen to. The bartenders are knowledgeable and the crowd is an appreciative mix of ages.

Upon arrival, the bartender seemed dismissive when we engaged in conversation. However, I ordered an espresso martini, which was enjoyable. Unfortunately, when I was ready to order another drink he refused to take care of us. When I asked to speak to a manager I was met with resistance, and, no one attended to my concerns. The bartender on duty, identifiable by glasses and tattoos, declined to provide his name, which is concerning given the industry standards. While the drink was satisfactory, the lack of accountability and customer service left much to be desired.Chicago is full of great cocktail bars with better service and less pretentious bartenders in the area.

We got there exactly at open because we are early birds and it was empty obviously so we got to pick the best seats and we just absolutely loved the ambiance. So cute and eclectic this place rates high on my list of quaint little cocktail bars. The drinks were fantastic and the staff was super friendly. Definitely check it out if given the chance!

I can't wait to come back. Vibes are immaculate. We arrived around 10:30 on a Friday and had no wait to get in Slippery Slope (downstairs) or The Heavy Feather. With standing room only we grabbed a menu (complete with photos of their signature cocktails) and placed our order just before a booth opened up. All the drinks were great and themed to the 70's decor and music. I was begrudgingly drug out the door after one drink to make our reservation down the street. I could have sipped cocktails and danced to ABBA all night!
