    Brand new bar in former Avondale mechanic shop with car-themed cocktails. From the same owners as Central Park bar. Some mechanics manuals on the shelves in the back, car parts, and alley mirrors hanging from the ceilings, although honestly i wouldn't have minded if the auto theme was taken up a notch--it'd honestly be easy to miss it if you didn't know, and I love a unique experience. Cocktails: Dead Beat Beet was going to be an avoid on account of the beet juice, but actually it's a recommend: mezcal, ginger delicious. The gin-based Lift was effortless and unusual and I'd get it again, although my pour made me wonder the total spirits content. Felt very light. I'd have to get it again to conclude. Bar staff were enthusiastic and friendly, although wound up being a decent wait just with some moderate busyness (not quite even half full). But we were here on the 2nd day, so pretty sure that gets smoother. Draft pours include common craft options like Son of Juice. No food. Lots of options nearby. On trend and fun--could definitely come by again. This also has significant patio space which will mean i have this on my warm weather list for sure.

    Tune-Up just opened recently in Avondale. It has a mechanic shop vibe because I think that's what this building used to be. It was also very lively inside around 7pm, and I'm sure it continues to get more crowded later into the night. They're open until 5am on Saturdays, and 4am the rest of the week. It's a pretty casual bar with TVs playing sports and a decent cocktail list. Prices are pretty low for Chicago ($13 each). I got the anti-freeze cocktail and it was good. It tasted a lot like cucumber. They don't serve food but I think you can bring your own.

    We had our wedding at Moonflower, and it was amazing! We…read moreoriginally found Moonflower on Zola. Although we are from the area, we had never visited before, and the photos immediately caught our attention. The bar fit our vibe perfectly, and after visiting a few times, we knew it was the right place for us. We rented both spaces: the main bar upstairs and Nightshade, the speakeasy downstairs. Moonflower has a small stage in the main bar, which we used for our ceremony. The space already has so much character that it needed very little decorating. We brought small flower vases and an altar piece that the bride and her now mother in law made together. After the ceremony, we held cocktail hour and served food buffet style in the main bar. Later, everyone moved downstairs to Nightshade. Its lounge atmosphere and dance floor were perfect for our 50 to 60 guests. Some people relaxed around the cocktail tables while others danced, so everyone could enjoy the night in their own way. Moonflower's event organizer, Morgan, was wonderful. She made the entire planning process feel easy and was a joy to work with. She helped turn our ideas into reality, assisting with day of logistics, décor, beverage packages, and every question that came up. She was always responsive and available. Morgan also helped us think through details that had not occurred to us, including coffee for our guests, explaining the parking situation, contacting nearby businesses about using their lots, and recommending DJs. We ultimately hired one of the DJs she suggested. Her extra support was incredibly helpful and took a great deal of stress out of planning. If you have not tried Moonflower's drinks, you are missing out. Their regular cocktail menu is fantastic, and our experience was even more special because of a custom cocktail session with Zach. He created signature drink options for each of us based on our tastes and favorite cocktails. Every option was spectacular, and the final drinks felt personal and special. We chose Funeral Potatoes for the food. Since they already handle the food at Moonflower, we were able to try many dishes beforehand. Our guests raved about everything. We especially recommend the brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, and caprese sandwiches. Alexis, who heads up Funeral Potatoes, was also extremely helpful with selecting the menu. The only outside food we brought in was our wedding cake. The entire staff was phenomenal. Everyone treated the occasion with the perfect balance of care, professionalism, and fun. The night went off without a hitch and was truly one of the best nights of our lives. Moonflower was also extremely reasonable compared with other venues we considered in the city, especially with an open bar and food available on site. Street parking was plentiful, and none of our guests had trouble finding a spot. For anyone looking for a relaxed wedding for 50 to 60 people with a memorable lounge atmosphere, fantastic staff, buffet style food, and exceptional cocktails, Moonflower should be at the top of your list.

    Super cute date night spot!…read more That being said, I went to meet a date and the staff was incredibly kind while I waited nearly 40 minutes for my date to show up late. (Insane of me to wait at all at that point, I know) I didn't end up eating the food here, but the beer selection was lovely, and the ambiance was a vibe. Will come back, definitely with someone else.
