    The "Indigo"
    Adaora O.

    A little hard to find at first, but the bar is located right inside of Trattoria Peppino restaurant. The bar is nice, there is low lighting and plenty of space to sit. The calamari was good and the drink "Indigo" was OK, a little sour for my liking so I don't think I'd order a second time. They have slots in the back which I think could be fun if you're just looking for something casual to do in the area. Sounds like they have karaoke as well!

    I really love this spot! It's right in Elmwood Park, so it's close to home, which is so much better than having to go far for places that are similar. This establishment is two awesome places in one! On one side, you have a bar, TVs and the whole cocktail bar feel. On the other side it's an extremely lovely European American restaurant! The restaurant is amazing! The food is so good and you wouldn't expect it out of a restaurant/bar. The spinach and artichoke dip is one of the best that I've had because you can tell that it is not store-bought, and that it's made there! Delicious! Their calamari really surprised me though because of how well it was breaded and fried. I have officially put their calamari on my list as one of the best in Chicago. The main courses that I tried were super good as well. The Zuppa di Mare/seafood pasta was so elegant and flavorful made with a black pasta, so not only was it good to eat, it was beautiful to look at as well. The cheesecake was the perfect ending to everything. What was surprising though was the drinks! They have a cocktail list that you have to try! My two favorite drinks were the P*rnstar and Indigo. They were so good! The indigo was so good that you could barely taste the alcohol, and the flavors were yummy! Try them!!! I was there on a Friday and at around 9 o'clock. Karaoke started with disco lights, and it was super cool. I'd highly recommend this place for a night out where you can enjoy really good food, good drinks, and karaoke! Head here for a great time with friends and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

    So, I'll just say I came at the right time - time lunch on a Saturday and it was very chill which I loved when you walk in the ambiance is so nice and give a peaceful atmosphere which I loved! The host Nina was very friendly and attentive which was nice!! Nina was so sweet and all her recommendations were very helpful and good!! For starters I got the arugula shrimp salad but you do have the option to add beef as well! Oh this salad is so fresh and delicious the dressing was the key it was definitely balsamic and a smoky like favor that I was loving!! The entree was lamb chops with mashed potatoes ohhhh it was literally too pretty to eat lol but it was a nice portion not too much but enough to get you full! The sauce was another favorite and I had to ask for more as I'm a dipper it was very rich and flavorful! The lamb chops were medium well - so it was cooked to perfection!! Now can we talk about the drinks! Again based on Nina's recommendation I got the pink coco (2) and the upstate vodka fresh and I loved them all!! Overall the meals were great-reasonably menu with lots of option for beef, pasta, chicken, salad and sea food! They even had a few vegan options! Their prices in my opinion were reasonable for this meal of summed up to about $85 with taxes but did have 3 drinks and salad w entree! Guys it's such a hidden gem in my opinion as it's nestled close to a few restaurants, but I absolutely loved everything and recommend coming here for a dinner date, or even lunch!! I'll def will be back!!

    The place it's relaxing inside the outdoor (it's more indoor) has a nice vibe feels like a patio you can look at the street (North Av) Food is good and affordable menu has different interesting items Servers are all friendly but honestly they need more experience and training they need to know more about the items on the menu, the place is not very busy for lunch or early dinner, looks like servers run the place I don't see a manager around every time I've been here

    pornstar martini and indigo
    Kelly M.

    Great food, fast service, and intimate ambiance for a Tuesday night. We got the specials -- salmon pizza, steak, and lamb chops. I've never had salmon pizza before and it was surprisingly tasty and not fishy. The steak was standard. BUT the lamb chops were a start hit -- very flavorful and tender, well seasoned, and great tasting. We also got their most popular drink - the Pornstar Martini. VERY good! 2 will get you buzzed. Highly recommend and will be coming back. The owner (Dmitry) is very nice and professional.

    Upon arriving I was greeted by some of the chillest host who I can tell love what she does. We were seated on a comfortable couch on the Resturant side with a nice window view. The ambience is more chill during the afternoon but more of a party during the night hours. For starters we ordered drinks & got calamari. She chose "The Coco" I picked the "The Indigo" both were great I think we should've switched drinks though. For entrées I chose "The Blue Fire Ribeye Steak with purple mashed potatoes" & she had the " Dark Side of the sea" Both dishes were amazingly plated & taste even better than it looked! We also got the "Super Pepperoni" to go it turned out to be great also! Overall I give them a 5 out of 5 on my MAC meter! Will be going again!

    Fun sour cocktail

    Great drinks here and the service was quick. They have a lot of entertainment to keep you interested with music, games, etc. so really something for everyone for a nice night out.

We had children with us and asked for their menu items to come as fast as they could. However, the server was extremely short with us and didn't even bring drinks quickly. While the restaurant was not very busy, it too a very long time to get our food - especially one in our group who didn't get food until almost everyone else was done. The food itself was ok, but I would say that nothing was exceptional - somewhat bland entrees and lacking originality. Could be what we ordered...as I know many people find the food here to be quite good. The prices are reasonable for the area but I was disappointed with the general unfriendly service and time to receive food. I've been here previously and we had a somewhat lackluster meal that time also. The previous time, they were pleasant enough but food was only ok - entrees were not very hot when we received them. All in all, there are friendlier spots in the area.

The cocktail menu caters to many tastes, they make their own bitters, shrubs and syrups, they have a diverse collection of small batch producers and clearly a staff who know what they're doing! As a mixologist who now only plies his trade at home, I was extremely impressed!! Not that the lack of reviews seem to be hurting their business - the 3 attempts I made to visit, only one was successful (they were too busy the other times). I stumbled upon Oskars by chance - but man, am I ecstatic that I did!!! This is a gem that would easily do well in Chicago's trendiest hoods. Its interior is extremely cozy and inviting/welcoming - it reminded me of a cocktail establishment in London's brick lane neighborhood. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends as this is a cocktail bar that will impress Chicagoans and out of towners alike - and more importantly, I don't have to venture south to have a great cocktail anymore!!

For $10 this is a great deal. The burger was juicy and delicious. The sauce on the burger goes very well with it and the bun is buttery, very good. The fries? Meh, they were pretty bland and stale.
