This hidden cocktail bar/lounge is so pretty and so are their drinks too! Its located beside pure kitchen on elgin st but its upstairs. I love the inside and the bathrooms are pretty for pictures! There were a few downsides tho. We didn’t have a reservation and we got put on the waitlist. It was around a 30 mins wait on a Saturday night, which wasn’t bad. There was a dj playing and the music is loud so its hard to have a conversation. Service was ok and we were kind of left unattended for the entire time we were there. It wasn’t super busy while we were there but there were big groups. The server took a long time to take our order as well as bring us the bill. This spot is cute for the drinks but unfortunately service could be better.

I came here with a large group of 20 friends and we had a large section reserved for us. We had really great service and our server was super attentive and it was a pretty quiet night so we almost had the whole place to ourselves until after 9PM.

The food that is on the menu are snacks from pure kitchen downstairs so there is not too much to eat so come here just for cocktails and snacks. While the cocktails were really unique and aesthetically pleasing, I found that for the price of them they weren’t actually that good in terms of alcohol content they didn’t taste super boozy, and I had three cocktails there and was barely feeling anything. Meanwhile, I usually have three cocktails at a local pub for $12 and have a really good buzz.

I come here for a cute date night drink or a girls get together before going out somewhere else, but I find it a bit overpriced for the cocktails. I would likely go somewhere else to try specialty ones.

The cocktails are great, going off the menu is no issue, service is consistent and good. The music was a little louder than expected, difficult to have a conversation with a group. Great if you wanted to dance. Highly recommend for their drinks and service.

Nice funky place. Cool, innovative cocktails, but not my price point. Probably typical prices for fancy cocktails, but too expensive for me. Not worth it, but the younger than me crowd seemed to open their wallets easily. My daughter had the mystery cocktail which she enjoyed. Unfortunately, after tax and tip, it cost $26. Ouch!
We were here for a So Far Sounds event. Well organized, fun, and a nice place to have this pop up type of event. We enjoyed our evening out.
If you want reasonably priced drinks, I would not recommend this cocktail lounge.

I’ve been here for dates, work events, and casual hangouts, and it never disappoints!
The cocktails are always excellent (if a little overpriced), and it’s a great spot to have a night out. The apartment-style setup works really well for groups, the vibe is excellent, and the servers are great at making recommendations.
The food selection isn’t amazing, but hey – you’re on Elgin so there are plenty of other options for that nearby.
