Our new favorite place on Evanston. The drinks are unique and amazing. The brisket tacos will keep you coming back and order a bourbon chocolate cookie. The bartenders are knowledgeable and super friendly. Highly recommend

One of the best cocktail bars around!
Parking: Mostly street parking, but there is a small city lot about a block west of the bar on the same side of the street.

The owner Jeremy is a true artisan. He's a guy from the industry who is experimenting and loving his life. This place is creative, wholesome, organic, and real. Amazing atmosphere for a date, getting together with friends, or just to hang.

Ward Eight is a gem on Howard. Chef Chris pairs delicious dishes with the cocktails that the bar team magically concoctes. Simply, it's a laid-back vibe to chill and enjoy conversation with those you are with or the staff. No Tvs. No egos. Just good drinks, good tunes, delicious food and friendly faces. Don't hesitate to come and enjoy the experience.

We had after dinner drinks that were quite good. Definitely wish they had a better craft beer selection, but the old fashioned was excellent. Great serve at the bar from our bartender.
Amazing place for terrific cocktails and small plates. Chilli is ready delicious!

Since the pandemic, the new owner Jeremy and primary mixologist Adam are carrying on the traditions of Ward 8 that have made it one of the better neighborhood eclectic craft cocktail establishments . Jeremy and Adam are friendly and professional and offer exceptional craft cocktail offerings.We were there on a Friday night and it was the busiest we have ever seen it which was great. The only observation I made as a customer was that if all possible, Jeremy could add one more mixologist to help the team during busiest times keep the drinks coming to the customer base more quickly. I noticed they are two of the hardest-working, most caring, and attention to detail persons in the business! …and you will especially notice by how exceptional the cocktails and food offerings are!Still highly recommend is an essential craft cocktail bar in all of Chicagoland.
Parking: Always near impossible to find a parking spot on the Evanston (N.) or Chicago (S.) sides of Howard Street. You may finally find a spot one or two blocks West of Ward 8 on Howard.
