“Had a great time celebrating my sister's birthday! Great music! Great drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Grabbed dinner at Four Moon Tavern and it hit just right. Went with the pimento burger and a side of those beer battered onion rings. Burger was juicy with that cheesy kick, rings came out crispy and not greasy at all. Place has that classic pub feel, jukebox going, couple folks playing pool in the back, patio was open so we sat outside for a bit. Bartender was chill and kept the beers coming without any wait. Solid neighborhood spot when you just want good bar food and a laid back vibe.“

“Thank you for hosting Open Mic night. Wonderful experience. We’ll be back.“

“Went there today for the first, but definitely not last time. The food was extraordinary.“

“Highly recommended for first dates, or just going with a group of friends. Been here twice, and everyone there is super friendly, definitely a place to have a lot of laughs and make great memories. 10/10 🙌🏼“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“Owner/s put a lot of effort and time to create a welcoming atmosphere and lively safe space within the community. The drinks are carefully crafted and true to their descriptions. Lastly, despite not being the center of the menu, the food is delicious and their basque cheesecake is always a must-have!“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“If you're looking for a place in which you can get a real quality Martini, this is it.

Not only the martinis in here are great, but the place itself and the atmosphere of it, makes it such an unique place. Enjoy. 🖤“

“I love rainbo club but had a really icky experience there tonight. Bouncer with a “lex” tattoo was a real prick. Snatched my ID out of my hand and literally jabbed it in my face giving it back to me (fully legal age/ID) and was all around really frustrating to all of my friends in line. Maybe just be a tad bit kinder? Or don’t work late night if you get cranky? 😅“

“Great rooms and very friendly staff. They did a great job at helping us understand how the rooms worked and how we can pick the different songs of our choice. Bartenders are very kind and helpful. I would recommend this spot if you are on the search of something to do with friends“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“Great music by Ivan Singh!“

“I am indescribably grateful to have moonflower as my neighborhood bar. The sunday scaries deal is unbeatable (except for the tuesday grilled cheese deal), and includes the best caesar salad i have ever had. Everything i’ve consumed here has been delicious and everyone on staff is a joy, special shoutout to Marvin. If you’re not already here you should be!“

“I like this place I just wish they could actually serve you a pint at a reasonable price. Literally every beer is a 12 oz pour. Cheap beer is cheap at least but I'd still just want a pint if they offered them. Vibe is great though and they have a small patio to the side of the building.“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“Friendly staff, great place to be and the chips and salsa are so good!!!!“

“Liar’s Club has some of my favorite bands on the regular, so I find myself there a lot. My band has played there too, and it’s a great experience - the room sounds good, with a solid PA system. Gary and the rest of the staff are awesome - the polar opposite of the snooty, hipper-than-thou attitude you get at some rock & roll joints. Drink prices are cheap, and parking is always pretty easy. The clientele is consistently asshole-free. Can’t think of anything bad to say about Liar’s.“

“The interactive coin op playground of the Chciago arcade / bar scene. Priced for a cash night out- cc welcome and there is an atm. Street parking is easy but ya know how that is- taking CTA or Rideshare to Logan Square is simple. Order bites and shareable from Fry Like An Eagle next door and they deliver! Say hey to Dr. Z and be kind to the staff they are great humans there to make sure you have fun!“

“We did wine 101 at Deep Red and it was fantastic. The perfect level of information to start conversation and you had experts on hand to help answer any questions or provide recommendations. The pours were generous so well worth the reasonable price. We got advice on a bottle to take home and came back a week later just to experience a bit more of this place. Highly recommend if you’re looking for either a casual glass with friends or you’re looking to broaden your palette. Really appreciated the customer service here!“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“A great place to meet friends and see Drag Queens every other month“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“I hosted my wedding welcome drinks here and it was AWESOME!
From booking to the actual day everything was smooth!

Brian was so great with all our guests and everyone had an incredible time! We had
~65 people and did a cabana rental, it was cozy, but there was plenty of room and everyone who wanted to play, got to!“

“We recently rented out the entire space for our wedding welcome party and couldn't have been happier going with Desert Hawk. The staff was on top of it all night, the food (which we had catered via Shorty's 312 that operates out of the kitchen) was a huge hit, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. Can't recommend this place enough for a private event, or a casual night out!“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“Total local joint. Love stopping in when I’m in town“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“Awesome retro bowling ally with awesome drinks and great staff.“

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“Such an easy place to fall in love with as I have. Perfect vibes and the sweetest bartenders on the planet, drink menu's always rotating with interesting and delightful flavor combinations. Hosted a birthday party here and staff were so helpful and kind throughout the night. This place has my heart forever, long live Consignment Lounge“

“New owner’s are friendly. Staff is great New menu is awesome. Just a great place to hang out!!!“

“everyone there is like family“

“Quite a bit more subdued than its reputation suggests on a rainy weekday evening. It's a comfortable room with a decent hum of conversation, not the packed cacophony I'd braced for. The drinks were good, though perhaps not worth the hype.“

“It's a relatively decent place to have a cold beer or a cocktail.
I'd say the best thing about this place is they're awesome patio. Some nights their DJs are great some are just okay. If you can get a booth, hold onto it during busy hours because this place gets packed fast. If you're in Logan, it's worth stopping in for a pint or two.“

“Came into town just to watch Euros at this bar. Brian and the crew were outstanding bartenders!“

“Great spot for live music.“
