Please don’t go to this place and I’m definitely going to pull the race card because it was a race issue. Myself and my two other black friends came to this place to celebrate my friend’s birthday and was told that we needed to be on the guest list and then they proceeded to tell us if we could buy a table and spend at least $750 on bottles, then we could come in. That was a straight no for me and I stood there as they let many non-black people in, who were not checked for on a guest list or buying tables. I asked the bouncer why he let these two white women in without questioning them and he had the audacity to tell a flat lie and say they paid $3000 for a table. I hate establishments like this. Super unprofessional and doesn’t deserve to be in business! Just take a good look at the pictures on this page and you’ll notice exactly what I’m talking about.

I can only speak to my own experience at this place and I hope everyone has a better experience here. The “security/bouncer” said if I gave him $40 would he would allow my friends and I to cut the lengthy line. He charged me and my friends $40, I gave him a $50 and he said he’d return with my change. Nevertheless, he “forgot” to give me my change. Soooo.. yes, I guess it’s my fault to allow this establishment to believe they can be honest. Please save your money and don’t let them steal your money. Aside from this, it is crowded inside and drinks are overpriced.

Stopped by here for few drinks with my husband last night. We loved the atmosphere and music was really nice. Guy with blond hair( didn’t ask his name) at the door was very accommodating and nice. Service was also good. We will definitely come back again!

One of the worse night I had here for being Queer person, I was dragged and humiliated physically by the guards because I am part of LGBTQ. Shame on you guys. #LGBTQ are also human beings.

The lack of transparency from bartenders on drink costs, the music and environment were mid/not anything you’d feel bad about missing honestly. There’s so much more one can do in downtown Chicago and have a good time, or at least a not-bad time. This place does not have good vibes.

It was a fun place to go. It was a little loud for my liking but that is just personal preference. The drinks were also very expensive. I only got one. If you are looking for a cool place to go that has a club vibe this is your spot. I just enjoy a quieter bar.

If you’re an African American Woman expect to get turned around by the bouncers / security at the door … very rude to dark skinned women .. very aggressive as well .

$40 for a cover is steep, but something I can accept if the bar itself is worth it. It’s open later than most, cool. It was a fine club. Good atmosphere and music. What I can’t accept is $47 for a watered down gin and tonic. I left immediately after hearing that price. Sadly, I had already ordered expecting it to be a reasonable price. I drank it and left with no fuss. Would not recommend unless you got money LITERALLY burning a hole in your pocket.Also, side note, not “20s” at all. Nothing like the speakeasies of old, as in the website’s description. It was all modern music and style. Very much a scam.

I went to see a friend of mine play in the live band here. The atmosphere and music were great but the drinks are VERY overpriced.
