    Finally had to chance to stop in for some cocktails and the Devil's Daquiri was both visually and tastefully appealing. The atmosphere is intimate with dim lighting and large windows to let the moonlight in. During my visit, they had a live musician set up and play just after happy hour ended. This block of Bay View continues to bring in new businesses that are helping the area thrive and 17th Ward is definitely a part of that!

    What a cool new cocktail bar! I'm a big fan of a fancy cocktail, and this is right up that realm. I started with a milk and honey, which is similar to a gin version of a White Russian. It was swerved with wafer cookies and was so smooth! It was a bit sweet for my taste, but once the ice started to melt it really balanced out. I then had a cream city old fashion. What a great twist on a staple cocktail. It was blood orange based, and it was smooth. I really enjoyed it. My husband isn't as big of a fan as fancy cocktails, so he stuck to beer. I loved that they have a little bit of everything. The bartender was so sweet and as soon as we mentioned having dinner reservations, she made sure to keep checking in so we wouldn't be late. We got there right before happy hour ended, 5-7pm, which meant $2 off our drinks. We'll be back forsure.

    Can't remember the name but it was a blueberry lemon drink

    Finally got to check this spot out and they have a fabulous array of cocktails! I loved they Stay Salty and the Nitrotini. Our server was phenomenal, she made good recommendations and took really great care of us. We were celebrating a birthday and she made my friend feel very special! Will definitely be back to try more cocktails!

    17th Ward is my new favorite cocktail joint. As a craft cocktail junkie, I have tried a number of the cocktails on the menu. And you know how you know it's good? Cuz I couldn't possibly pick a favorite! Each one was masterfully mixed, flavor profiles were perfection, and go down maybe slightly too easy ;). What makes it even better here is that every cocktail can be made NA or with THC. So many options for all preferences. I love it here, this is my new spot. They might get sick of seeing my face, but I sure will spend some time here drinking!

    We stopped in on a whim after dinner out in the deer district. Driving home when I saw the holiday…read moreinflatables and I thought if I can find a parking spot, we are going in. I had heard about the Tin Widow's holiday pop up being one of the best area, the hype was not wrong. From the entrance to the ceiling and walks, this place is the definition of deck the halls. Unless you get here right when they open it early in the holiday season, I would expect a crowd. The drink menu is so fun with holiday themed drinks served in matching glassware. You can even purchase the glass/mug for an additional fee. A lot of the cocktails looked to be batched cocktails which help with the bartender's efficiency. Highly recommend making this place a holiday stop. I'm also curious to stop in after the holidays to experience it without all the holiday decor.

    Stopped in for their Miracle on 2nd St holiday pop-up. We only had to wait about 5-10min for a…read moretable, but it does get busy fast, especially on weekends. They had several seasonal cocktails in special festive cups, which you could also buy to take home. I got the Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus, which was good, but pricey for what it was. Almost all the seasonal drinks were $15 each and didn't seem too big. The venue itself is medium sized, but feels crammed quickly. There's more people let in at a time than there is seating, so you have to move fast to get a seat. I'll likely come back during the summer to try something else.

    Wow! This may be the best cocktail bar in the city. It is a full vibe that must be experienced…read more Craft cocktails in a charming, warm, inviting space similar to a Victorian era home back in the 1900s. Service is impeccable. They do a tremendous job of explaining the menu and food options in detail, and ensure you have a great experience from start to finish. The drinks? Nothing short of amazing. They vary the featured cocktails menu every 8 weeks, so most likely you'll get a different experience every time you go. However you can always get your classic cocktails like Margaritas, French 75 and Martinis. They also can do any drink NA which is the first of its kind in the US. They have an option called dealers choice, where you can pick the spirit and flavor profile of the drink you want: spicy, sour, floral, smoky etc. no limits! You write down on a card what you want and they craft you a cocktail based on your selections. They also offer a variety of food pairings to go along with the select, featured drink you order. We got spring rolls, a braised, pork infused doughnut, and an incredible bone broth that still has me in a tizzy. Fair warning: it's small and difficult to get a reservation - don't try your luck walking in, this place is a hot ticket and you won't be able to get in without a resy, which could be weeks or months out. This is a true gem of a cocktail bar, and is as good as anything you would find in New York or Chicago.

    Liked the vibe - reminds me of shakers cigar bar but without all the smoke (like, a bit spooky,…read moreold, maybe haunted but also very cool). We stopped here after dinner, so we stuck mostly with the cocktails. Unfortunately, nothing on the seasonal menu really stuck out to me. I stuck with the "traditional" cocktails (spicy watermelon bubblegum, and then banana daiquiri). Hubs went for the halo halo food (which was so cute! All the typical ingredients but served in cubist fashion), and the paired drink. The paired drink was supposed to have different layers of flavor, but they all mixed together quite a bit. Tasty, just not the "layered" experience we thought. I think they almost do themselves a disservice comparing themselves to the aviary - that is a crazy high bar to meet. Granted, maybe we would have been more impressed if we had more of the seasonal cocktails despite them not seeming interesting? Probably wouldnt go out of my way to go here again, but it is a cool vibe and the cocktails were good.
