Tips
- Try the In the Rocks from our 100 Best list: It's our favorite drink at this high-concept lounge, for how it seamlessly integrates tactile pleasure (cracking the rock) into a beautifully made drink.
- Charles Joly leads the beverage program and has been turning over the cocktail list. Sit on the patio on a nice night or try your luck and see if you can get into the exclusive Office underneath.
- Expertly crafted cocktails and a quiet night out; go here for the upscale treatment.
- This bar is built on theatrics: including a Rob Roy served in a vacuum-sealed bag of lavender air, an ice slingshot for the In the Rocks and more: http://tmoutchi.us/13EV7jr
- Thos one of the only bars in the world I can get pappy 23 bourbon. If you have never had it or just like bourbon....this is THE bourbon. Also try the old fashion and the potato.. amazing
- Concoctions are served in glass containers that vary in shape to stimulate the palate in different ways, while filtered and flavor-infused ice cubes transform the taste of cocktails as they melt.
- Make sure you meet the dress code, because the cocktails all look interesting and delicious.
- Molly is such a delight
- Some cocktails have amazing presentation, like the Rooibos, and some, like the Blueberry are remarkable in every way. But no matter what you order, you'll never think of a cocktail the same way again.
- Must-try cocktail: Rum Manhattan. Pillow pretense aside, this is one of the smoothest sippers in town, if not the world.
- Friday night. Beautiful weather. Just sit outside for drinks and appetizers.
- Order the Blueberry and share with another person. Sip slowly and marvel in how the drink changes over time.
- Aviary has the best and most creative cocktails (and bar snacks) in America. Everything's don't-miss, so do a cocktail tasting menu, then order everything not included.
- Amazing cocktail experience and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Better book a table to enjoy the whole experience. Other than that you will be at the entrance,which is not so cool as the lounge
- It's expensive, but no cocktail lounge in town comes close to matching the creativity on display here.
- The lobster dish currently offered in a bag - concept mimicking a 'Frito pie'
- The A5 Wagyu beef is slap yo mama good!
- Just do the cocktail degustation. Trust me, you need to try everything. At the very least, get the school lunch - snickers foie gras and rum chocolate milk is the truth.
- The place is amazing, a must if you're in Chicago. Innovative cocktails, nice nibbles, great fun. Full review...
- Bring a bank roll
