If your looking for a great neighborhood bar I suggest giving them a try. The bartenders customer service is great and quick. Some drinks do cost more then others, but on the good side you can get any food delivered there you want!

The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the spirits they carry. It's a fun atmosphere with a couple of dart boards. The selection is competitive with other dark spirits bars and I could see it being a date spot. Side note, the blonde manager is a fox.

Had such a good time here! It's a cute place with really great drinks. We sat at the bar most of the time and had such great service from Kaci. She made our experience fun and made such delicious drinks. Really appreciate the personable experience as some servers and bartenders in the city make it obvious that they're miserable (and the drinks usually reflect that too). Would love to come back again!

Trivia Thursday nights is a lot of fun. Free popcorn. Reasonable prices. You can bring your own food. Very chill place.

Loved this spot! For my first time, I had a great time with my friends. Had a few beers and played darts. They dont have food, but its BYOF. Love that they give free popcorn, although i didn’t have any. Would definitely come back. I spilled a glass of beer, but were really nice about it, and gave me a free refill. They have an outdoor patio behind as well.

Stopped by Rebel & Rye over on Grand Ave last weekend, and man, this spot's got that cozy, rustic vibe down pat. The wooden beams and warm lighting make it feel like a little slice of the South right here in Chi-Town. Tried their Cherry Bark Old Fashioned and the Cucumber Collins – both were on point, especially the Old Fashioned with that unique cherry twist. The back patio's a hidden gem; perfect for chillin' with friends. Spent around 40 for a couple of drinks, which is pretty standard for the area. Definitely planning to hit this spot up again soon!

Awesome bar located a few minutes outside the city with a great selection of bourbon and ryes! Highly recommend this if you’re a bourbon enthusiast or just looking for a place for a drink. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!
