I stopped by Lazy Bird on a Wednesday night after dinner, and it ended up being such a great choice. We made a reservation ahead of time, which I'd definitely recommend, but it wasn't overly packed and we were seated without any issues. The vibe in there is top tier. Dim lighting, live music energy, and just the right mix of chill and upscale. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy the atmosphere without feeling rushed. This was my second time here and I remember it being just as good back in 2022. The drinks were immaculate. I had two mocktails that were both well-balanced (not overly sweet, which I appreciate), and he ordered an old fashioned. You can tell they take their bar program seriously and can go beyond a gin & tonic. Overall, it was a really good time. It can give you a great midweek outing or a laid-back night with a little something. read more

Very cool cocktail spot in the basement of the Hoxton. Great vibes and service!! They have a large cocktail menu with lots of classic drinks and also a fun rotating menu. It was zodiac themed while we were there. I didn't order a special drink though-- just a dirty martini. It was great and they have delicious blue cheese olives. read more

A very chic speakeasy in the Hoxton hotel in West Loop Chicago. Great ambiance and music. Great for a date night or drink with friends. We came here on a Friday. Tables are reservation only but we found a spot at the bar. The bartenders are very friendly old fashioned was delicious! There's a love music band after 9.30 pm so the place gets packed! We will definitely be back. read more

I have been to this bar twice now and every time I come the menu has new and exciting cocktails to try! This time I had a Chamomile Martini, however the twist in this cocktail was a hint of shiitake mushrooms! If you love savory cocktails-this is the cocktail! The inside is beautiful!

We made a reservation for a table to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were right by the stage area and had a couch with a bench. They had a lot of menu choices for drinks. Minimal food available with no GF options. The grasshopper was my favorite. The music was also pretty good. There were a lot of people and they do crowd the area so couldn't see the stage. Also had strangers sit on the couch. We did ask them to leave but they were pushing back and said some very inappropriate things. We did go up to the host stand to help us but no one ever came over. read more

I visited Lady Bird for the first time with my husband and I can't wait to return. When we first arrived the manager ( Max I believe) was very welcoming. We were sat promptly and the band was fantastic! I just wish I had later reservations to enjoy the set longer but we'll be back. We had a slight mishap but thanks to the professionalism of the manager it was handled well and I truly appreciate such great customer service. I highly recommend. read more

I'm genuinely sad to be writing this, because Lazy Bird used to be one of my favorite spots in Chicago. The last two times I've visited, the once-intimate speakeasy atmosphere has been completely overtaken by overcrowding. Even with a reservation and a table, the space was so packed that you could barely move--let alone comfortably enjoy the experience. Seeing the performer was nearly impossible, and getting a drink took far longer than it ever should, especially for a venue that prides itself on craft cocktails and live music. What was once cozy and refined now feels more like a cramped club, and honestly, the crowding bordered on feeling unsafe. It's hard not to wonder how this many people in such a tight space is even acceptable. This critique comes from a longtime patron who loved Lazy Bird and brought friends here often. I hope management takes a hard look at capacity, service flow, and the overall guest experience, because what made this place special is getting lost--and that's a real shame. read more

I've been here multiple times and it's a place I've brought multiple friends to. Located below the Hoxton Hotel, I really enjoy the ambiance inside. The signature cocktails are well curated and have an Asian theme to them. I recently got the Alor After Dark and it was a delicious coconut-y, spicy, bready, cereal-milk-y flavor. All these flavors came together so well, I loved it. The Chiang Mai Reprieve is a lovely clarified cocktail, which takes a lot of time to prebatch make. It's a tasty Thai tea cocktail. I've had their other signatures and they were all good. It just depends on your preference of the flavor profiles. It gets pretty busy if you come later at night on weekends, so just something to keep in mind. You can walk in but to guarantee a seat at a table you'd need a reservation. read more

Came on a Thursday night and I had such a great experience here! Lazy Bird is tucked away in the Hoxton just under a flight of stairs. You can feel the lively energy of the crowd from the hallway before you even enter. Zero pretentiousness. I appreciated all the different cocktails on the menu. Just reviewing the menu and by watching the bartenders, you can tell each one was well crafted. I kept ordering a mezcal cocktail that I don't remember the name of but let me tell you, it was perfect. Jenipher Jones and her band made the whole night, she's an amazing vocalist! I found myself just vibing out and enjoying every single moment. All in all, not bad for a $10 cover fee. read more

Lazy Bird is a lovely cocktail bar in West Loop. The service is excellent; I had two people checking in on me throughout the evening and they were both intimately familiar with the menu. As for the drinks: both cocktails I tried were solid, albeit a tad pricey. Beverages will run ~$30 a pop when you factor in tax and tip. This isn't breaking the bank by any means but if you're looking to drop sub $20 a drink you might want to try Gus' or another hotel bar. And even though the setup is nice, it's not a pretentious place. I wouldn't suggest walking in with flip flops, but I saw multiple people in shorts and gym shoes. The ambiance, wait staff and beverages make this a worthwhile stop when in the West Loop. I'd go back read more

The hype around Lazy Bird sadly didn't meet expectations when visiting. Our experience started by thinking the side door by the branded neon sign was the entrance to the bar; it was not. Make sure you enter through the hotel lobby and go right before seeing signage on where to go. Once we found the bar, the inside was well designed: very intimate, cool patterns and textures, staff were extremely nice. We sat at the main banquet so we could watch drinks be made which was fun. The menu was the next obstacle. Most of the menu is their take on classic cocktails. There is a small seasonal section that has unique, one off selections but was also still listed as "fall specials" in December. Rather than paying $18+ for a drink I can get anywhere, it was an easy decision to go for a special. Our server explained the notes to us and we ordered the Q'Tuanis and Cielo Andino. The Q'Tuanis ended up tasting like there was a hint of coffee which my partner hated. It was light and smooth but the flavor profile felt all over the place. The Cielo Andino was describes as a spiced rum drink and ended up tasting like citrus and fruity; definitely more of a summer vibe. Lazy Bird seems to be loved by most but sadly, we didn't fall into that category. If you are looking for an elevated hotel bar with straight forward cocktails, this is a great option. We hope that our experience was just a bad first impression. read more

We came early for a pre dinner drink & didn't have to wait for a table at all. As others have noted, it's in the basement but there are signs directing you. The inside is dimly lit, with lounge-y seating and thoughtful decor. Obviously you're here for cocktails but there is a section on the menu called "bites" - which only lists a 16oz ribeye? Ok. Great - *Drinks, obviously. They're not cheap but they are very well made *Pleasant service Not Great - *Don't like the backless "pouf" seats - they're a little tippy and very uncomfortable. It Depends: *Your fellow patrons. We had the (dis)pleasure of sitting next to 2 drunk girls who proceeded to sing along with the music (loudly, and badly) as well as twerk (badly) to music. It was like 5:30pm, have some dignity ladies. Or go over to Bubs or some shit like that. It's a cool place, next time I'll ask to be seated in the "adults who can hold their liquor" section read more

I came here on a rainy Tuesday night at 10pm and it was pretty packed. My friends and I managed to score a spot at the bar where we ordered a round of cocktails. The cocktail menu is massive, which is fun but also a bit overwhelming. We each ordered a different drink and all three were quite nice. We did have to wait a decent amount of time for our drinks and that was a bit of a buzzkill (literally). The bar itself is super cute and vibe-y. I'd definitely stop in again, though ideally when it's less crowded and consequently not so loud (wow, I'm old). read more

This cocktail space is great! It's perfect for grabbing drinks as a night cap or before a dinner reservation. I've come here twice: once in August and once September. Both times the cocktails were perfectly made and both times we were walk ins. I'm not sure about when the DJ is usually playing but we came on a Sunday night when there was a DJ present. The bartenders themselves are so nice! It's a great spot to grab a seat at the bar because you're able to watch the bartenders make the drinks and strike up a conversation. Our bartender made a special cocktail off their menu. They have 52 classic cocktails on their menu with some season rotating ones! Other cocktails I've tried and liked were: the matcha summer cocktail and clover club. You cannot go wrong with what you pick to be honest. read more

This bar was pretty hard to find since we first thought that the upstairs level was lazy bird itself, though it was actually a different bar. The environment of lazy bird was really cool, with an amazing band. The drink choices were all very interesting. I had gotten one of the specials, which had lychee and peach. It was very good, though I felt that there wasn't much of the drink at all, so it wasn't worth $18. My boyfriend got the Mai Tai, which was good with an interesting kick of spice at the end. read more

Been trying to drink here for sometime. Normally too many people or closed because of private party. Last night I finally got in though! Waited in line for maybe 15 minutes and got in. Lots of folks. Place was buzzing. There are 2 bars down stairs. One is bigger the other is smaller. First drink I got was a Mai Tai. There was a band that was playing very talented and entertaining. After a while my friends showed up. They waited in line. Didn't take them too long to get in. I don't tend to make reservations for bars. But I should have because might have been like an hour before I sat. But it felt cool+ good because I had been wanting to drink here for such a long time. I will say the drink menu is pretty extensive. Had the best White Russian of my life here. Also got a Clover Club. Eventually some seats opened up at the bar and my friends and I were holding court on barstools. I didn't realize until last night the rest of the building is a hotel so it probably means that the bar will always decent amount of people coming into the bar. read more

The service was great since they were able to seat us on a busy holiday, and they brought out the food pretty quick.

It was no wonder when we arrived that there was a line out the door. We waited around 45 minutes, and the bouncer was a really nice fellow who kept track of the numbers and people at the door. Upon entering, we were immersed in a dimly lit retro-style lounge. It was quite loud inside and packed as we walked to our seats. The server was great at taking our orders and offering suggestions. I opted for the French 75, which featured sparkling wine and mixed gin, brandies, and citrus. The drink was delicious, but STRONG. I don't know what they put in the cocktails in America, but I am always finished after one drink. Needless to say, we were all struggling to finish our own drinks. My favourite touch was the coasters, I ended up keeping all of them so that I can reuse them at my galentines event next year. The 'bisous' with the kiss on the other side is a perfect touch! I think the drinks are fairly priced for USD. I would love to return someday to try other drinks and bar bites, and also try their sister bar, Sparrow.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Chicago (from Las Vegas) 2 weeks ago, and were very excited to…read morecheck out Bisous, as it looked nice inside and had good reviews. Imagine my shock when we didn't even make it past the bouncer because he was so rude, AS OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE MENTIONED AS WELL! We had dinner nearby and walked to Bisous after, and saw there was a line of 5 or 6 people outside. We expected this as we knew Bisous is a first come, first serve bar. We were curious what the wait time would look like, so we approached the front door to ask a host or employee inside (we assumed there'd be a desk with an employee working it who could give us a wait time). We had no problem waiting, just wanted to see how long they estimated it would be! Before we could even fully open the door, the bouncer swung the door open from the other side and hit me with the door. I stumbled back a few steps and he looked at us and said, and I quote, "What do you want?". I laughed at first because I thought he was joking and putting on a tough guy act. He was not. We quickly explained we just wanted to see what the wait time was, and he said "don't you see there's a line outside?" We said yes, and explained we just wanted to know a rough estimated wait time. He just blankly stared at us while ushering us out. Both my boyfriend and I have worked in customer-service roles for a very, very long time. This encounter was not only extremely rude and unprofessional, but he also hit me hard enough with the door to send me stumbling back, and then said nothing about it and continued to address us in a tone that was nothing less than annoyed and irritated. We didn't end up going inside because that encounter left such a bad taste in our mouths. I don't believe in spending my money at establishments that don't treat their customers with the bare minimum respect they deserve! Bummed we didn't get to experience it, as I'm sure it was lovely inside and I can only hope the rest of the employees were much more kind and accommodating, or at least able to answer a simple question. Fire your "bouncer" (??) and hire someone with some basic customer service and communication skills!!

I got reservations here for my birthday as I've been to Aviary, but never had a chance to go to the speakeasy-style concept downstairs. Haley took care of us while we were sat at a prime spot on the small bar. She was truly such a breath of fresh air and didn't intimidate like some highly skilled mixologists can sometimes do. We got to try a few drinks, but I have to call out the Martini with mango (great, balanced martini with a twist!) and the Leche de Tigre (you know this peruana had to try it!). The leche de Tigre (think ceviche in a glass) was savory, tangy, and something I would order again and again. To snack, we got the pepperoni flavored popcorn (they have a vegetarian version) and it blew me away. I would never have guessed it was vegetarian if we hadn't requested that specifically. And you know the presentation was on point. Overall, a new favorite spot in the city!

The fanfare to book this spot and the very rigid booking policies made this seem like a much more exclusive and sought after spot. The drinks were good but not spectacular. A good spot for pre dinner drinks in that neighborhood.

Prime Bar's bar on the first floor is 100x better if you're looking for a good drink and aren't too invested in vibes.

The bird-themed cocktail menu brings both creativity and drama, with presentations that feel almost theatrical. What really elevates the experience is how the hosts narrate the inspiration behind each drink, making it feel more like a storytelling session than just a night out. The mixologists deserve serious credit for their thoughtful experimentation with global flavors--balancing complementary and contrasting notes, surprising textures, and sensory touches that feel nostalgic and adventurous at the same time. The food holds its own too. Don't miss the giant onion ring or the Chip n Dip--both are as fun as they are delicious. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the cocktail tasting experience makes it worthwhile. A perfect late-night spot for great conversations and drinks that ooze personality.

So when I went to Chicago to visit friends recently, this was my first reservation. We were kindly greeted and seated toward the rear of the dining room. Collectively, we ordered more than half the beverages on the menu. I won't go into tons of detail on them, since some drinks are seasonal, but I will say that it was a blast experiencing craft cocktails and mocktails at their finest. I love the menu concept of the birds that fly farther along the page to indicate how alcohol-forward the drink is. That's a really fun idea! One friend ordered both the spirited and the non-alcoholic Porthole to compare the flavors. And we all liked the N/A version better! Our server kindly came over and mentioned that he heard I was inspired by The Aviary and they took us on a private tour with the bar team and then down to the ice making room, which I LOVED because I was obsessed with the intricate ice making process from the original cocktail books. What a fantastic experience, and the tour put a cherry on top. Long live The Aviary!

They put thought into their cocktails, sometimes using things like pure cane sugar and unique combinations that still taste great. Definitely recommend Brandon as a bartender...he did his thing. The vibe is dark and moody, which I love, and they even ring a little bell at the bar. Right next door is Sunnygun, their brighter, brunch style spot, which makes for a cool night to day contrast, even though I haven't tried it yet. I've always sat at the bar, and service has been great. MoneyGun has become one of our go to bars, and we'll definitely be back.

After doing a search on Yelp, I decided we should check out HIDE+SEEK. Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks. We decided to go with the Brunch Party. First let me start off saying that Brunch Party is one plate, one side, and endless mimosas. The entire table participation is required and there is a strict 1.5 hour time limit. That said, Angelique (was our server) was on point during that time period. Our glasses never got pass the half-way mark and a good time was had by all! HIDE+SEEK has a pretty chilled vibe and the décor was cool, a very nice bar area, booths on the east side of the restaurant and tables in the front. I think there was a back area, but can't for sure as I didn't explore as we were seated immediately in our booth. Angelique was very cool. She welcomed us and asked if it was our first time there (it was) and began to explain the menu, focusing on Brunch Party and that everyone at the table had to participate, which we did. For my entrée I got the Short Rib Hash (Sunny side up egg, piquillo pepper, red wine jus, rosemary mornay) and my side was Eggs Your Way (over easy). I got an order of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (honey-whipped ricotta, blueberry compote, maple syrup) for the table. Both dishes were very nice. I am a sucker for anything with short rib meat in it and this hit well with me. The pancakes were good, nice and fluffy, and the compote was very good. They weren't as lemony as I have had at other restaurants. The flavor was there, but in a subtle way, almost like an afterthought, but still nice. The pancakes themselves were nice and fluffy, just they way I like them. The Doctor got the cheeseburger and fries, which looked nice. He cleaned his plate so I have to assume it was good. The Queen got the Steak and Eggs. I had a bite of the steak and it was tender and had a nice flavor to it. Overall we had a great time and while it was only an hour and a half, it seemed longer.

She also had no idea about the wine, so my friend just rolled the dice on what she wanted without knowing much about it. She wound up liking it - but more clarity would've been helpful (or even seeking out someone else working there for more info!). Minor environment note: The largest artwork there is a triptych of photographs - three famous women: Princess Diana, Sharon Tate (I think?), and Marilyn Monroe. There is a horizontal band going across where their eyes all line up, and the band replaces their eyes with cartoon eyes, likely of Disney princesses. It is supposed to be quirky but I found it creepy, especially since it featured three famous women who met untimely ends.
