Great place to have drinks. I tried a few different drinks and every single one was top notch. We had Daniel as our server and he was absolutely great. Will definitely be coming back.

Daniel was so sweet but Lindsey the owner was very rude for no reason and made my experience unpleasant. At first she was upset that she had to remake a drink (our server told my friend that they would make her a new drink if she didn’t like it). We then told our server Daniel we’d like to sit at the outdoor seating area which he acknowledged but when we went outside to make our way to the outdoor seating area we weren’t sure if we had to go through the front or back and she came out with attitude once again saying we can’t walk on the side walk with alcohol. We were clearly looking to just sit outside at their establishment in the designated outdoor seating area.

The owner is entitled and rude. She lied about her mistreatment when confronted.

I started going to meaderies in 2018, all over the US. This, by far, is one of the diverse meads. The seasonal options, price, and knowledgeable staff. Seasonal mead using lemonade as the 2nd base with added flavors. The flavors and options are great. Ubi coconut, watermelon lemonade, mint lemonade, pear, honey....etc all excellent. Ubi was by far the most unusual with a great taste. You will have to find your own flare. Explore, taste, and buy local.

Delicious. Too delicious! Seriously, it's all so smooth and tasty that it's difficult to leave. They have an incredible variety of sweet and tart drinks (especially mead, of course) plus guest brews. We will be back to try more and more of the mouth watering offerings.
Flight got cancelled. Called ahead, super nice team! Very good meads! And even better cocktails, definitely worth trying and great little cute spot. Good hospitality!

Delicious. It’s a great spot and truly unique. I had a PB&J mead that was spectacular. The coconut orange dreamsicle was really good. Great atmosphere and nice people.

Loved the decor and the atmosphere inside. I can't speak for the cocktails or the spritzer type mead drinks, but the standard (hah) meads were overwhelmingly sweet in my opinion. They tasted fairly young for the most part which I think is trying to be masked by the sweetness. There were some nice flavors underneath, I just wish they could stand out a bit instead of competing with the sugar. The blueberry crust and the strawberry/marshmallow mead were two that stood out to me.
I'd love to see their mead branch out, some dry, some more sour, but all of them stand firmly in the "sweet" to "very sweet" range. I also wish they had flights, though they had 1 oz pours of many of the meads.
Nice, quiet location! The bartender was very friendly, too.
Best meads in the Chicagoland area.
And now they have tiki drinks!!
