Cozy bar with delicious drinks and food as well as pastries, All of the employee's were nice, respectful, and patient! A great... place to hang around. The food in the images are the 3 mini burger sliders and the beverage is the non_alcoholic chemical Xbeverage. Read more
This an excellent spot to drop in for a well-made cocktail. Friendly and knowledgeable bar staff made us tasty modern cocktails... and a few classics. Gorgeous room, and a small streetside patio. Read more
Bathrooms stink and are dirty and grimy as heck... and service is terrible. When you reserve a spot and pay $16 a cocktail, you... should be attended to.. Anthony was great but ended his shift as we walked in. Server actually forgot to put in our cocktails atone point. There are plenty of other places in the city you can pay much less, get better service, have cleaner restrooms, andtastier cocktails. So disappointing for our friends birthday We were literally ignored for the first 20 minutes of our visit....we had a reservation. DJ also sucks so much. Sorry, but you're in the heart of Chicago. Pay someone who is better than yoursons friends on his college weekend gig... also now we've been waiting over 20 minutes for our check... this place sucks. And Inever leave bad reviews. Read more
What an amazing place. Cocktails are amazing and so it?s the atmosphere. The low light and music will make your experience here... so great. Read more
Has to be the warmest and coziest vibe I've been to in a long while. They don't just have bartenders, they have mixologist!... Excellent drinks. They use real lemons and egg whites for their whiskey sours. The old fashioned was also perfection. Menu issimple and the food is exceptional for what some would consider "bar food". We had the wings, flatbread pizza, sliders andfries. Staff are all warm and welcoming and the music was spot on. But the ambiance is the real reason to go here if you want achill, romantic and cozy environment. Just go check it out. Read more
Great experience. This bar was exactly what my group was looking for. Low light, good music that's not so loud you can't talk,... nice atmosphere with comfortable couches big enough for larger groups. The service was excellent and friendly and everyone likedtheir drinks. I'd definitely go here again. Read more
Have stopped in here several times over the years. It is inside the Freehand and the bar area is small and cozy, but there is... seating in an open area downstairs. The drinks are creative and fun and the bartenders are very good. It is often crowded,usually loud and some of the crowd can be loud and annoying (the hotel tends to attract young tech-ish people). But the drinksand decent prices keep it a fun spot. Always have a daily special that is interesting. Read more
A hip, eclectic cafe! Broken Shaker is one of the most uniquely decorated spaces I?ve come across here in Chicago. There?s lots... of nooks and crannies to find to comfortably read, chat, or get some work done. The exterior is pretty nondescript so I almostmissed it. Glad I didn?t! Read more
