Come here with coworkers pretty often and let me just say I recommend this place to everyone!! The bartenders know what they’re talking about, the drinks never disappoint. Food is also phenomenal!!

Lovely cocktail bar with an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the Baton Rouge along with a few other classic cocktails—each one expertly crafted. The staff is warm and attentive, and the overall vibe is perfect for a relaxed evening out. Highly recommend for fans of timeless drinks and cozy settings.

Proprietor Jeremy is the star of this Evanston gem. The drinks are superb—if you’re a spirits aficionado, and don’t like trendy drinks for the sake of trendy drinks—Ward Eight is your antidote. Their Negronis are 100/100, and their whiskey selection has always been dreamy.

Bar snacks are reliably delicious and very fresh. As a gluten free eater—I have always found their menu full of things that are easy to adapt or just enjoy as-are.
