The unexpected gem. They are one of the two bars in the entire city of Chicago that can make the most refreshing summer martini - the tomatini. Top 3 martinis you will ever have. Next to soho house, they are the only ones to master this cocktail in Chicago… so far. It’s exceptional. It’s off menu, but ask for Luke to make it for you.
I loved the food and the cocktails in this place. This makes for a great date location if you want to impress, the bacon wrapped wrapped figs and the truffle popcorn make the place a gourmet restaurant many among other dishes. This place has such a unique ambience and vibe, definitely a place to go when visiting or local to the neighborhood. Love the staff, Chuck and Jack make you feel like home I loved it.
Great addition to wells st!! Went on a date last night and both the drinks and food were so good. We split the truffle Mac and cheese and will definitely be back for more! The vibes are perfect- the DJ’s music taste was amazing. Our server was genuinely the sweetest human. Very cute inside. Can’t wait to bring my friends!
