Absolutely great- diverse, eclectic, great drinks- feels neighborhood like but there are those fun kids that dance and bop around! Abba around midnight can't be wrong!!! energy is great! One of my favorite repeat bars- read more

Remedy is one of my favorite bars in Chicago. The atmosphere is cool, they have a long bar, and they serve great cocktails. They have half off drinks from 4-7pm Monday-Friday that's a can't miss. The bartenders are friendly, know what they're doing, and always make a killer drink. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

Went to Remedy for the first time yesterday and will definitely be back. Had Alternative Facts and it did not disappoint. The GM was super friendly and hospitable. We stopped for a cocktail before our 90 Miles Dinner Reservation but plan to go for a longer outing next time. read more

Cool little spot on Milwaukee. went there on a thursday cause me and my girl were super thirsty. We always hiked past the place and knew it was time to stop by and check it out. Dope ass spot the drinks are fire and the staff was friendly. Happy hour prices were fire- -1000p will be back. Gonna be the new spot to sip some drinks before grabbing some food. read more

Been by this place a number of times, and two weeks ago was my first time coming in. Their atmosphere is super chill, and I love the giant aquarium. We got a few of their cocktails, and I definitely had to try the Asshatten. This sucker is not only tasty but really packs a punch! Needless to say there is a reason why only a week later we were back here again. Though we wouldn't have eaten before had we known about the complimentary pizza on Friday! read more

Remedy - Asshatten - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My friends and I came here on a Friday afternoon for happy hour. We had no problem finding a table to sit at which was nice. They have half off of everything during happy hour which is great! I ordered two drinks--the "Asshatten" and the Rhubarbarella (see menu picture). The Asshatten was delicious! The rhurbarbarella is a gin based drink and was nice and refreshing during the summer. The bartenders were friendly--I'm glad we found this place and I'd definitely return! read more

I live right near this place and it is the perfect hang-out spot! I absolutely love the interior, cozy with dim lighting yet ample bar seats. There's also a fish tank behind the bar which is super cool. Remedy also has the best deals! Every day (even Friday) they have happy hour 4-7 where all cocktails are half-priced! The matcha box 20 is an amazing cocktail -very refreshing with a light matcha tea and lemon taste. Also, every Tuesday they have $2 and $3 beers! Where else can you find such a deal! They offer a ton of different beers, including a gluten free beer called Two Brothers. Definitely an awesome neighborhood bar that's perfect for both happy hour and late nights. read more

This review is solely based on their drinks and happy hour specials!!! The drinks here never disappoint and there is always a spot in the bar to get your drink! If you are lucky to get a table you still have to go to the bar during the week to grab your drinks (not sure how it works on the weekends). Happy hour specials offer half price for any drink and they do not make them weak or anything! Drinks were solid and the ambiance was cool for drinks and to hang out after work! Will def be back for more drinks soon! read more

Enrique was the most delightful! We came in on a Sunday and we loved the vibe. Made some strong friendship bracelets at the bar and had great conversation with all the bartenders! Chicago hidden gem :) read more

The Foxy Moron tastes like the solution one would use to polish a wooden floor. Not sure what kind of human likes that drink. I love this happy hour, though. read more

I don't know how I haven't written a review for Remedy seeing that I come here at least once every two weeks or so. This place has an extensive beer and cocktail menu, so it's sure to please everybody. I live right around the corner from it, but I would frequent Remedy just as much if I didn't live in Bucktown. If you're a rye drinker, The Asshattan is the drink for you. Every time I order a drink here, I try to broaden my horizons, but I almost have to order The Asshattan. The Cellar Door is also one of my favorites here, mostly because I'm a fan of Bulleit bourbon. Even though The Remedy cocktail is a year-round drink, I'd recommend it for the summer time, because gin always tastes better in the summer. For the winter, I'd suggest getting The White Walker. It's difficult to make a drink with Fernet that doesn't completely slap you in the face, but some how Remedy nails it with The White Walker. Here's an added bonus to the bar, too. Even though the bartenders are completely knowledgeable about their craft, they're not super pretentious about it (you laugh, but you know that's rare). Special shout out to the bartender that served me a Miller High Life in a fancy glass, because after all, it is the "champagne of beers." Remedy has an extremely reasonably-priced happy hour, so I would recommend checking that out. Heads up, it does get pretty crowded during the happy hour times, though. It's definitely one of those happy hours you should take advantage of if your 9-5 job gets out a bit early on a Friday. read more

This place is incredible. The design and buildout is so inviting it makes you want to stay for hours. Being in a space with so many healing contraptions makes you look at health in a fun way. I walked in unable to move my neck and walked out an hour later with 90% range of motion. I'm a client for life. read more

Featured in the photo (left) remedy and (right) that's my jam. That's my jam is hands down the best cocktail I've ever had. The atmosphere is unique and so is the crowd- very demographically diverse. Remedy is the neighborhood remedy- a place where everyone new and old can go. read more

Came here for their happy hour which is 5-7 M-F and includes half off drinks including cocktails. It was really packed on a Friday evening during HH. I kind of felt bad for the bartenders because there were only two of them serving sooo many people. I like sweeter cocktails so I tried the owlington which was delicious with hints of pineapple and coconut flavors. After reading all the great reviews my bf got the asshattan which was ok in my opinion, tasted like cough syrup to be honest. Their drinks are pretty strong and worth the HH prices (just $5 for cocktails!). I would consider coming back read more

no matter if it's happy hour or late Saturday night, I can always count on my favorite bartender Dom to make me a quality drink and serve it with a well timed joke. read more

This bar is perfect. The drinks are on point. Has a great mix of bespoke cocktails, inexpensive gin and tonics, interesting shorts, and beers. The fish tank is mesmerizing behind the bar. The music is on point but not too loud so that you can still hear your companions. Luckily this bar is less than a five minute walk from my house. I will be back. read more

My husband and I live down the street and love Remedy! The bartenders are always super nice, the place has plenty of seating and it has a great vibe. And they have a jukebox! We think it has the best happy hour in bucktown. 50% off everything, including cocktails! read more

One of my favorite bars in Chicago! Such a hidden gem but has awesome happy hour and delicious cocktails!

We were denied entry because we didn't have a covid vaccine card on us to prove we have been vaccinated. It's a shame an establishment is enforcing this to allow locals to enter. read more

Random last minute spot we decided to go to. Only spot open late enough, and there's a reason for it! Drinks are spot on Had a drink called Winthrop, it's delicious!! Bartender had recommended it, it was unexpected and a great way to end the night. Definitely would go again. read more

Solid Solid Bar. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very packed, which is what I was hoping for. Very chill yet trendy vibe with equally chill music playing (think Van Morrison). Arguably one of the best old fashioned's on Milwaukee. This is a great place to bring a first date or just to kill a few hours with a friend who you actually want to talk to. There's also a fish tank as a backsplash to the bar. That's pretty legit. read more

Great place to get a drink if you're a basic bitch. Or a poor bro looking to impress someone with a "cocktail" menu. They garnished a negroni with a lemon. A lemon. The drink was a lemon. Pun intended. The daiquiri was mostly syrup and lacked any bites of rum. The Bronson was overly sweet and quickly made in a fashion that resembled a bad whiskey Coke. All in all. Don't waste your money. There are better bars at similar price points. read more

I've lived down the street for years and had never heard of this place which caught me by surprise when I was walking by and read the signage. I guess the place opened last summer... It also happened to be happy hour, who can bitch about anything when your getting half price! Bartenders were badass too read more

I wanted to check this place out cause it looked super cute from the outside and had a great happy hour. You can't beat half off till 7pm in drinks. It was just an average experience though. Seats are tight, music too loud for easy conversation, and drink choices are limited. read more

There is no servers when sitting at tables. We have had to get up and go to the bar anytime we want something.

My friend and I had a good time here after eating nearby. It was mid-week so it wasn't very busy. Our bartender was very nice and more than happy to sell me half pints of beer since I couldn't drink that much and wanted to try the different beers they offered. In my older years, the cocktail bar theme is now a blur to me in the sense that they all seem to be of similar concepts. Each offering about 8 to 10 signature drinks, a decent beer and wine list and some artisan snacks to munch on. Atmosphere and music tend to be similar so there isn't much differentiation. I was a photo of Remedy when it is lit up and it looks fun and vibrant. My suggestion is to keep the lights brighter. In any case, I'll be back to be mesmerized by the large fish tank. Look out for the black fishy that is super-hyper, curious, and breathing on the glass. read more

A few friends I just happened to stumble across this place as we were wondering around Bucktown. Remedy does an excellent job of skirting the fine line between being upscale and pretentious...not always as easy as it sounds. We weren't even aware it was happy hour, so I did a double take when I realized our three drinks (which included a cocktail), were around $15. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. Thier drink menu offered a nice variety for both beer and cocktail lovers. Lastly, I'm always a sucker for a good fish tank, like the big one behind the bar. I can't really think of anything bad to say....I guess that means 5 stars. Nice Job! read more

My friend and I stopped by here after dinner after it was pouring rain out. We loved the atmosphere and how there's a fireplace to get warm by. Bartender was friendly and we loved our Old Fashioned. great place to sit and catch up in peace. read more

This bar is an example of classy cocktail bar in the middle of buck town. The bar tenders are always happy to see you and genuinely treat you like a good nieghbor .. even if you aren't ! if you like old fashions, talented bar tenders , and over all good people with a diverse juke box Remedy is for you. read more

The remedy is a nice spot to peak into if you're interested in grabbing a drink and catching up with a friend, without the usual crowd and noise. Even on prime evening times, doesn't get crowded, and bartenders are super nice. We were hoping to sit by one of the giant wall windows but they close them in the evening so as not to disturb the neighborhood, so come early on a nice day! Drinks were decent and nice beer selection. Memorable features are the fish tank, simple decor, and chill atmosphere. read more

Big fan so far! We live just across the street and are happy to see a new business open up in one of the vacant buildings. The space is is laid out very well and aesthetically pleasing (love the light fixtures!). The atmosphere is intimate, but casual. Staff very friendly and attentive. Drinks good and at a fair price (the Bronson was a personal fave). I saw that they have 1/2 off happy hour M-F from 4-7 pm. Not sure if this is a permanent thing or just while they are still new, but definitely something to take advantage of! I was initially nervous about a 5am bar and the type of crowd that might attract, but having visited and seen the vibe they are going for, I'm not as worried. Service was a little slow, but not enough to be a problem and obviously just a kink to work out as everything/one is new. Looking forward to becoming a regular! read more

Our favorite neighborhood cocktail place!! We go for happy hour regularly - awesome prices and usually a great level of busy.

This place is an absolute gem!! I have lived in this neighborhood for about 6 months and just found it. So many regrets to not coming sooner. Happy hour is amazing and the bartenders are so so nice. My friend and I walked in on a Friday at about 5 and the place was packed. Found one seat at the end of the bar and the bartender hurried to go find another stool without us even asking! Then poured us a shot just cause we were new to the area. The clientele also have great vibes, not pretentious, middle aged group. Then the actual Bar itself is bright with light which I love - you don't feel like you are walking into a cave like most bars. Love it love it. New favorite spot! read more

What's not to like here? Trendy decor, awesome craft beer list, yummy cocktails, and rockin' alternative jams....SCORE! We also were able to experience happy hour(4-6) our first time in which was great--half off all drinks! We noticed on our way in that they're open until 4AM on weekdays and Sundays and until 5AM on Saturday's. Challenge accepted....see you soon for late night, Remedy! read more

Yay, I'm a fan! This was a cool place. Only stopped in for a few drinks but the place was really busy on a weeknight. The fish tank is the best part. I heard it gets really busy on the weekend. Stop in for a drink! read more

I really like the vibe of this place. It's a little small and cozy. There's even a fireplace in the front area, which helps the laid-back/cozy ambiance. The bar staff was friendly and attentive. The drinks were strong and delicious. They were also reasonably priced. I like this little spot a lot. Makes a great date spot too. Don't pass it up, come on in! read more

Great local haunt for those out-of-townerns looking for an authentic night out in Chicago. They're open until 4 am.

4 am bar with solid vibe happening.. By solid vibe i mean the bathrooms are orderly considering the late hour. Its like a more responsible Owl. You could hold court with your crew and tell a tale that could be heard without shouting. The music might need some attending to but maybe thats what keeps The Owl vibe away. read more

Wasn't overly crowded on a friday night, but I think that's more about the location. It is on a main section of Milwaukee, but so much competition it's hard to stand out. The bartender was a little gruff, but not off putting. I will have to go back again, but it's a very reasonable bar to hang out have a few drinks and pass some time, but it's not a destination. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Remedy for the first time last week when my friend held his yearly birthday celebration there. It was a Tuesday night so the bar wasn't very crowded. We had nearly half the bar to ourselves which was nice. My first impression of Remedy was a good one. The bar is modern, semi upscale and sophisticated yet it felt warm and homey too. There's a jukebox in the bar that plays rock music but the music isn't played at an obnoxious level. The bar tenders were all pleasant and attentive. I ordered a margarita on the rock which was decent. It was a tad bitter but I still enjoyed it. The bathroom was really clean too which is always a huge plus. It's obvious that owners/employees run the bar with care and it reflects positively in the overall presentation. I look forward to visiting Remedy again in the future. read more
