Whiskey Bars in Chicago, IL

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Tofu bun, fried rice and edamame hummus were great, in fact first time I had tried such a hummus and it's highly recomendable! I would have given the food a better rating if it wasn't for the spice level in the ramen. I ordered the tan-tan san, which indicated it has a kick of spice in it. When asking about the spice level, I was told that they would makse sure that it wasn't as spicy by not adding any kimchi or oil. As soon as I tried it, this was not the case as it was way too spicy to eat.“

“Wonderful evening! We had an amazing dinner & dessert with attentive service with care.“

“Excelente servicio y atención y todo está de 10 súper recomendado 👏🏼✨“

“I left with the biggest smile that a Chicagoan can produce! The drinks… Amazing! The service… Amazing! The bartender who went by the name “ taco ” can make an amazing shot using only simple ingredients that were available at the bar! I will definitely come again; for the service, for the bartender, for the atmosphere… but especially for the football! Go birds! 🦅🦅🦅“

“Food was awesome, service... Ehhh“

“We were in town for NYE and settled in the Whiskey Girl Tavern to bring in the New Year as there was a Moulin Rouge show included! When we went to buy the tickets, the highest package ticket was the only one available for $30 but it was never explicit what that entailed. When we got there, we were able to get a table. Live singer and guitarist were great. Loved loved loved to see the LGBT community in a safe, authentic, expressive environment. Glad we were able to enjoy our drinks and a bite to eat before the show. We ordered the white pizza, I don’t think that is what we got. It seemed like any other cheese pizza. It was okay but wouldn’t order again. We were very much looking forward to the burlesque show but to be honest it was just alright. DJ was pretty good, just wished the show was actually a show. We could barely see or hear anything from a table with what should have been clear sight. Overall, the NYE experience was just okay but we want to come back and give it a second chance to catch a game next time we’re in town.“

“Small, cozy space with beautiful drinks. Very nice staff.“

“Cozy neighbor bar experience. A very nice draft beer selection. Wednesday’s are 1/2 off wine bottles.“

“I’m bringing all my friends here. Tonight was my first time but absolutely not my last. Lauren Hall was so delightful. The staff was also very kind ❤️“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“

“Nice vibe in this place, although it can get really noisy if there is a party going on.
Our server, Nate, had a nice chill vibe and took good care of us.
The Ginger mocktail was very good.
Brussels sprouts were tasty if a bit overdone. The CBR smash burger was yummy.“

“The Bub team did an incredible job hosting us for the Super Bowl. Everyone was really on top of it and there were no issues with being able to watch the game. Our out of town family was impressed and we were so happy to have such a great place to share with them. Jeffrey was so enthusiastic and hospitable. Thanks from Elizabeth at RPM Italian!“

“Little Toasted is one of those spots that just works no matter what kind of day you’re having.

You can bring your laptop and knock out some work, host a casual meeting, or simply kick back and relax. The space is unique, very inviting, and surprisingly spacious — an easy place to settle in without feeling rushed.

Drinks are solid, and Johnny behind the bar is a big part of the experience. He’s quick, personable, and genuinely knowledgeable, always open to conversation and happy to guide you on what’s pouring that day or what might fit your mood.

Whether you’re working, meeting, or unwinding, this place adapts to you. I’d absolutely take advantage of the space in any of those scenarios — it truly fits whatever kind of day you’re having.“

“Great drinks, food, fun.“

“Revolver instantly earned a regular out of me — and it starts with the bartender.

Shoutout to Tommy — well-versed, welcoming, and truly dialed in on his cocktail craft. This guy knows his stuff and takes great care of you from the moment you sit down. If you stop by, definitely tell him I sent you.

The cocktails are thoughtfully made, balanced, and clearly handled by someone who respects the art behind them. This is the kind of bar you come to when you want quality, not just a drink.

I’ll absolutely be back here often and will gladly recommend Revolver whenever I can. Bonus points for the daily happy hour from 5:00–6:30 PM — honestly a no-brainer.

Meet me there… or save me a seat so I can slide in.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-star bar“

“Coming from St. Louis! The BBQ was perfect and the blackened shrimp 😳❤️❤️🙌🏼 Great service, great people, AMAZING food, stay later for the drinks and music. We will be back! It’s a whole vibe!“

“Love this spot. Always a great time and great staff“

“Bourbon on Division is the heart of Division Street. Beyond its gruff exterior (metaphorically), it boasts some of the most eclectic variety of live music and amazing DJ's in all of Chicago. I've met some of the best people in my life there. Management all the way down to security create a fun safe environment. Also 5 stars for the bartending tonight on Emo night. Chris and Krue were great!“
