Redeye ChicagoJanuary 16, 2015This comfy, dim neighborhood bar has hazy red lighting and fantastic black-and-white photos. Their relaxed vibe is complimented more with the sound of vintage jazz in the backdrop. Read more
Chicago TribuneAugust 30, 2016This is one of those exceedingly rare bars slinging classic cocktails in a laid-back setting without pretense. With low lighting and a shuffleboard, it's a great place to rest after a long walk. Read more
- Rebecca WestonMay 28, 2013They make a fabulous Aviation cocktail! If you like gin, vodka or whiskey based cocktails, this place will make you happy. And they have shuffleboard. Winning!
- Time Out ChicagoJanuary 24, 2012Owner Alex Huebner says the flicker of a television would spoil the speakeasy vibe of his candlelit bar, where you can enjoy an expertly mixed Sazerac and classic jazz on the stereo. Read more
KyleApril 7, 2013Raincoat was deliciously refreshing compared to the relatively tasteless, yet highly recommended, Sloe gin fizz. Definitely worth the extra $4.
Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseOctober 1, 2012This is more known {although still obscure} as a cocktail bar. But the beers on offer are solid. I classify this as a good 'first date' venue.
Chicago magazineJanuary 16, 2012Must-try cocktail: Wood-Burning Stove. As cozy as it sounds: New Holland amber rum, Koval ginger liqueur, and almond syrup, sprinkled with nutmeg.
Neal StewartJune 12, 2012Cool place. Feels like a Speakeasy from the 20's. In a shitty neighborhood, but that's part of what makes it cool. They have free shuffleboard too.- Time Out ChicagoMarch 6, 2013Drinks are stiff and true to tradition, order a classic sidecar or sloe gin fizz: http://tmoutchi.us/13EV7jr Read more
FoxNovember 16, 2014Love the feeling of stepping inside a different era in time. The drinks are strong... Whoa
Damn good classic cocktails. Seriously, anything they make will be good.

"Awesome spot. Loved the beer selection. Personal fav is the draft Negra Modelo. Food is great too: cheese curds come with buffalo ranch dressing (yum) & the buffalo chicken quesadillas are great."
