We went on a Tuesday night. Both bartenders were very friendly, knew their cocktails, and made one special that hit the spot! There was a group having a good/loud time in the bar area, so we retreated to the cozy/comfortable lounge, and the server there was super nice/fun!
The drink I had was excellent! The flavors blended together perfectly. The service was absolutely terrible for a place of this caliber. Waited over 15 minutes for a server to come over, ordered drinks and was advised that they were doing last call in 15 minutes at 11:30 (posted closing time was 1
The Broken Shaker is a vibe. It's adorable and nothing else really matters. But I'll go on anyway, the music is nice, and the food and drinks are decent. The Broken Shaker is a tiki bar themed bar inside thr now Freehand Hotel, formerly Tokyo Hotel. The name of the drinks are fun and a conversation
The ambiance here is like “your grandpa’s basement” meets “hipster paradise.” Interesting music. The staff are very laid back and nice. I am holding back one star (really more like half a star) because I felt like the price was a little bit high for the teeny tiny coupe glass of (delicious) cocktail
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 is simple and the food is exceptional for what some w
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 almost missed it. Glad I didn’t!
Awesome drinks and really relaxing, chill vibe. They have some good food too. Cheese curds were delicious. This place is my new fav!
A Speakeasy with major vibes. The entrance brought us through a hotel and at the back of the building was the opening to this huge lounge, perfectly dim lighting and split leveled in the back of this room you enter the bar area, where it’s lit up with candles, is cozy and has a unique style that is
Enjoyed the bar and friendly service, had a few local beers my friend enjoyed cocktails. The lounge is a good place for a clandestine meeting, dark amber lighting. Accessible rest-area, stairs leading to bar.
Love this place! More for espresso, I feel…. Inside the lobby of the FREEHAND. Very large space to eat drink and socialize. Friendly staff. Got a cortado and egg sandwich - and very impressed by the sandwich actually
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 liked their drinks. I'd definitely go here again.
Such a cute bar and lounge. Sabrina was so very kind and made us a drink we had never heard of before. Absolutely nailed the flavors we like and we have a new favorite cocktail. She was so friendly and fun to chat with. Thanks :)
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.
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 X beverage.
Ambiance is perfect for a cozy quiet drink, or a romantic cocktail. A great escape from busy Michigan avenue. The service was great, and servers extremely attentive but not disturbing conversation or pushing extra orders.
The staff here was amazing!
I had a difficult experience with another customer and literally the whole staff tried to make it better. If you are a woman on your own, just know that the staff at the bar will make an effort to protect you and ensure your comfort. Huge shoutout to Melissa, Roger and Ce
