Reviews for The Pink Squirrel in Chicago, IL
I am a great fan of milkshakes and it was only here at The Pink Squirrel where I get to have the best milkshake I ever had so... far! The whole pink neon ambiance of this place screams fun and excitement. They offer ice cream and non-ice cream drinks, aswell as alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It is almost like a dessert bar, perfect when hanging out and having drinks with friends,or spending time with families. I ordered Oreo Milkshake and the serving was fantastic! Everything was worth spending money on.One thing that excites me most was their Ferris Wheel of drinks! You should definitely try that! Tastes really good, and it?sreally fun choosing your drinks from spinning the Wheel of drinks. Read more
Cute bar, fun friendly atmosphere. Good drinks. Great service and staff.
Fun vibe place for an evening out. Solid drink makers. Ed Kemper look alike bartender was great. Quick and friendly faces. Duck... pin bowling needs reservation as there are just two lanes. Expensive to actually bowl. Friday night trivia is free and a blast.Easy to follow along and a chance to win regardless of knowledge. Overall small space so very limited seating Read more
I hosted my birthday party here and honestly cannot recommend the place enough. Delicious cocktails, amazing taco bar, bowling... included, and dope decorations, what more could I ask for!? The whole staff is kind, welcoming, and made me feel like such thebirthday princess. They even helped with the cakes we brought. All my guests had a blast and barely had to wait for any service.I would recommend major events here for sure. But it is also great for a cheeky cocktail with a friend or group. Milkshakes aresuch a hit and I also recommend the millionaire cocktail - new favorite for sure! Read more
Went for a social event that had unlimited drinks for 2 hours for $55 that the Pink Squirrel was advertising. There were 2... bartenders and so many people went it was so hard to get drinks. It would take 30minutes+ to get served. I did not feel that theprice was really worth it which was annoying. The ambiance was fun and Otherwise if I?d just come on a regular night I might?veenjoyed it more. Read more
Duckpin bowling was superb. The people next to us were rude because they wanted our spot, so we decided to stay the rest of the... night! Make sure you reserve your spot ahead of time! And try the carousel shots they were a hit with the birthday girl. Read more
Cute retro bar atmosphere perfect for an intimate outing with friends. I went as part of birthday weekend festivities and it was... a hit with everyone. There are only two lanes for duckpin bowling though so if you're planning on going during peak hours Idefinitely recommend reserving in advance through their website. Read more
I really love the concept of this place. Yes, there are a lot small bars that are funky in Logan Squire, but this one packs a... lot of fun into a tiny space. When I first walked into this bar I already knew they had bowling lanes, but I wondered where theywould put them as the bar looks so small from the outside. I found that they were tucked away in the back and area small. It wasneat how they worked them into the space. First, the drinks are great. While I was there I tried the Back in Pink, the piñacolada and one of their boozy milkshakes. They definitely have presentation down. Each of the drinks came in either a fun glassor with interesting flourishes. My favorite drink was the Back in Pink. The piña colada was a tad watered down and the boozemilkshake looked cool, but was just not my style. If you like boozy milkshakes, you'll love their boozy milkshakes. Second, theplace itself is super fun. After a drink or two. I tried my had at the bowling. While the pins do not spin and fall like thepins are regular bowling alley and the lanes are short it was a ton of fun. am awful at bowling, but the short lanes and lightball made me feel like a champ. There are some negatives. First, this is not "real" bowling. The lanes are short, the bowlingballs are small and the physics are a bit off. This place is not for a serious bowler, but it's great for some semi-drunken fun.Second, the bar is small and there are only two bowling lanes. You have to reserve a spot to bowl, and on a crowded nightyou can't bowl as much as you want. Overall this is a fun bar with good drinks. It's a must visit. Read more
