Been there a few times. Squid pasta is my fav, apps are very good, good prices on wine. Service needs to be a little faster and more officiant. But, that could be me. 5 stars anyway. Good ambience, could be a lot of fun. read more

The drinks are great and during the week it's half off 3-5pm. The service is so friendly and the vibe is very cozy that you'll think you were at a lounge in the city. I'm adding this to spot to frequent in Elmwood park. Thank you for the chill vibes. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great Girls Night Dinner! After a rough work week its just what we needed. Great dinner, desserts and drinks!! Thanks Andrew for exceptional service and great recommendations. read more

If you go to the bar prepare to be ignored by the bartender. Had planned to order dinner. Told him I was ready or order. Forty minutes later he asked if I wanted another drink. Welp, no. Good luck and Godspeed. As a side note if you are under 30 and speak Polish pretty sure you are going to love this place. If you are an adult, not so much. read more

Stopped in for an after- dinner drank and ended up staying for 2. Nadia was a nice and friendly bartender who made great cocktails!!! We heard they have karaoke on Fridays and might just have to come back and check that out! read more

So karaoke girl is very rude and racist. we spent 3 hours in this place, had dinner and drinks, everyone around spoke Russian. all the waitresses, security and guests at the tables next to us. When karaoke started they had only English and Ukrainian songs. I went to the karaoke girl and asked if we can have a Russian song since my husband is from Moldova, he doesn't speak Ukrainian and his English is not good. She was very rood about it, said we don't do Russian here because "it's our restaurant and we do what we want". yet again, all the staff spoke Russian all evening. I guess they don't do Russian when it's convenient... will never come back to this place! read more

The bartenders here are really cool and nice. They don't have an issue with educating you on drinks you may like based on what you are used to drinking. Would recommend read more

Great food and service. I love the atmosphere and the music as well. All of the staff was welcoming.

The restaurant in the same building is super cute and looks like it would be a perfectly wonderful cozy dinner date. The bar is a fairly seemless extension in motif with a wonderfully friendly staff helping get this new venue off the ground. The mojitos looked great and would likely have been our second drink of choice given the bartender's familiarity with it. The smoked old fashioned was fun for its novelty but the drink itself needed a bit more citrus/sweetness/spice to really give it the complexity a good old fashioned deserves. In all the music was the right volume for good conversation and the 80's selection for the evening left you reminiscent for days gone by. It is a good start for a new venue (only having just opened) and I definitely look forward to dropping in again for a mojito and possibly some food from the sister restaurant. Cheers to the staff who are all supremely welcoming. read more

Red Bottle Bar - Chocolate martini! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Elmwood Park, Illinois

Stopped on a rainy Saturday afternoon and sat on the enclosed patio. It was cozy! Nadia was an excellent server. Incredibly warm and welcoming, gave great recommendations, and prompt. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, due to this being a bit of an undiscovered gem. Wr shared a soup, salad and chicken parm. Everything was delicious with sizable portions to share. We eat out often. This was the best meal and service we can recall in awhile. We will definitely return. They are updating signage- so be alert that currently from the street the sign says "trattoria Peppinos". read more

This place is wonderful! Delicious food, amazing drinks and the excellent service. Clean tables, polite staff and fast service. I was there to celebrate a friend's birthday. Among us were those who are on a special diet and / or have allergies to certain products, and even they were able to enjoy wonderful food and drinks. And everything really went very well and everyone was satisfied. I pay special attention to the fact that there are really clean restrooms . It's always nice when the restrooms are clean and don't stink. read more
