Very cool atmosphere for drinks. Entrance in alley, down the stairs and it's like your in another place. Good music and waitresses are cool and give good recommendations. The drinks have plenty of alcohol, but watch for the skulls on the menu! Also, some shareable drinks that are very big. If you're bar hopping, make sure to add this spot on your journey.

One of the comments in the reviews mentioned this place is a hidden gem and I 100% AGREE! It was my first time visiting this place and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the people, the music, the food, and for sure the drinks! Make sure to make reservations ahead of time if you want a table because they do get fully booked. We didn’t have reservations but got super lucky someone canceled. If you can’t get reservations, they do have a bar you can try and get seats at but its first come first serve and when we were there a lot of people were standing by the bar. They have a small food menu, but it was honestly perfect for us we ordered the coconut shrimp, steak skewers, and the crab Rangoon. Everything was super delicious! For drinks I ordered the pain killer and the space force pilot both drinks were really good, and I love how the cocktails have a theme and are beautifully decorated. If you are visiting Chicago this place is a MUST!

This is a Hidden GEM! The first time I went here I fell IN LOVE and now I try to come here for every special occasion. They are a themed bar with a small food menu! I highly recommend the PU-PU Platter! Allll of their drinks are amazing and their presentation is beautiful. It’s makes the experience one of a kind. From the moment you walk in. Their drinks are very strong so beware because they’re so good you’ll forget. The staff is very friendly!!! More than I could ever ask for. Everything is very nice and clean! This is my GO-TO. If you’re in town please check this place out! You won’t regret it! You may want to have dinner/lunch before coming in so you can enjoy the drinks with some delicious cocktail snacks.

A very interesting selection of cocktails which you probably won't find anywhere else in Chicago. Bartenders are great and have good recommendations. Their cocktails include mezcal, absinthe, Jamaican rum, brandy, aged whiskeys and much much more with different berries and spices as well. The "Three Dots and A Dash" is must try. Ambience of the place is top notch and the music was low and suitable. They also have a small but nice food menu.

They advertise 1 for sure on the menu (You'll thank yourself tomorrow, or something like that), but I assume its like most bars and you can request the drinks virgin, but don't quote me.

No it is not. Guests have to descend down approximately 12 steps to reach the lounge. Once in the lounge the spacing is fairly tight. Hope this helps.
