“ Salmon’s finally on the menu this week—so good! Super happy with this plate! four cocktails salmon 100 tip! Reasonable price ”
“ This is my new favorite spot. I love that it’s lowkey and chill to be alone but also on a date ( which many of others are.) The cocktail menu is great and I love finding out the secret drink of the night! I recently heard they are under new management, but everything so far has been superb! Uli is my favorite bartender and I love a personal experience so always finding a seat at the bar is awesome! all the staff who I’ve encountered has been super knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I will be back! ”
“ Small intimate basement cocktail bar just off the main West Loop bar path. We came for the first time and really liked their cocktails, they have a limited menu but this is more of a before or after dinner bar. We did have their crab dip which was really good and had huge chicken of crab. Service was very attentive and for the price the cocktails were all well made. They have a happy hour from Mon - Thursday from 4-6p. ”
“ Came here for happy hour!!!! Ordered their dollar oysters and a cocktail for 8. The service was great and the room itself was dark and cozy. A great place to cool off since it was a hot when we went. I would definitely come back here. Plus they were nice enough for me to use one of their sockets to charge. ”
“ Moody vibe, great food and great cocktails! We walked in while waiting for a table at another restaurant and we found a seat right away and got some tasty small bites and drinks. A great cozy spot for friends or a date! ”
