Not sure why all of the poor reviews considering my experience, but maybe I just got lucky? I think…read morethis is a good place to go out if you are in a group and wanting to dance, but I feel like they can do something about the sound system here. They only have two speakers on the walls and they definitely need to lower the high-frequency. The music sounds too sharp here. The drinks are at typical prices (around $12) and they play latino & Reggaeton music which is exactly what I'm always looking for. The crowd is pretty diverse and enjoying their time there. I'd say the next time I come here, I'd start off pregaming elsewhere on 18th street or bar hop, and come here last. I'm not sure why they close by 1am on the weekends, but hoping they extend their hours in the future. Solid going out spot in the Pilsen area for sure!

Stopped by at 10pm on a Friday with my friend. It was my first time here. Space is somewhat small,…read moreand there were a few high tops and some stools at the bar. We just had a drink and the music was good (a lot of reggeaton ) Once it started getting more crowded, our stools from the bar were removed and the crowd was definitely younger (early to mid 20s) and way more men than ladies. Over all chill and got to listen to some bad bunny lol

Welcomed to the bar. A bunch of women screeching to a song on screen. I'm thinking so, when does the karaoke start and how do I sign up to sing? Bartender, was very nice, said if you don't have a reservation for a room, you have to fill out a request card/sheet. But, I asked where do we sing? Right here he says. So, in a bar full of drunken screeching women who have no idea of what singing means, I am asked to offset that f-up. NOT! This place may have been good 4 years ago, but it's definitely for the drunken tone deaf. If you're even mildly interested in singing, DON'T COME HERE!!!

Incredible meal here! From the cocktails to the cold seafood dishes, I was really impressed. Their…read moresauces are fantastic! For each cold dish, the sauces were complex, distinct, and perfectly compliments the seafood. And of course I loved the sauce sampler you get (or you can request, I forget). SNAPPER CEVICHE, KING SALMON AGUACHILE, TUNA TOSTADA are my top picks. I could probably do without the hot platter next time although great presentation, I think the taste is more one note than the cold dishes. And the whole fish was solid as well.

Didn't catch our server's name, but he was super nice and did a great job of suggesting items and coming back several times. We ordered a variety of plates and we were all quite the fan! I actually really liked the empanadas and the aguachile! My carajillo cocktail was delicious as well! Would definitely return with a group or even on a date night. Also, this place is RIGHT next to Thalia Hall so it's perfect if you're going to a show or event there!

Our orders were taken pretty quickly after arriving. It didn't take long for our drinks and food to follow. Everyone liked their drinks and food. The bar itself is welcoming and the music wasn't too loud for a Friday night. It wasn't crowded at all, but I can image it being more robust if it was a busier night.

Honestly, we had a great server who was attentive and gave good customer service. The food was subpar, and so were the drinks. It's definitely a college bar. Where can you grab cheap drinks and food? I had the carne asada fries. The carne was so tough, like chewing leather.....I couldn't even chew it up. The fries tasted okay. The onion rings tasted good. My coworker did enjoy her fish tacos. We all had martinis, and then we had green tea shots. The first bartender was great. When we got our second round of drinks, they tasted different. The green tea shots tasted like seltzer water. The music was enjoyable, and the service was good.

We made a reservation for their three course cocktail experience for four of us which required a deposit of $75 per person. Only one of us ended up doing the experience (the rest of us were too full and already tipsy from dinner) but it was nonetheless, a very cool experience. Service was top notch. My partner has admired this place for a long time, as a bartender himself, and he has even learned a thing or two from their Bible-like cookbooks. So when the maitre d offered to allow him to step into the kitchen and help finish one of their cocktails, he was absolutely giddy. This was such a memorable and special touch for us during our visit to Chicago. I loved seeing how the kitchen worked together in a traditional kitchen line but only focusing on cocktails. It was an impressive thing to see. Many of the cocktails are presented in an incredibly theatrical way featuring interesting glassware, dry ice, and even a plastic bag filled with flavored air. I actually wasn't a big fan of the cocktail I ordered (it leaned too heavy into the BBQ flavor for my taste) but I enjoyed trying everyone else's cocktails at the table. I would definitely recommend checking out The Aviary if you are a cocktail enthusiast hoping to try something you can't get anywhere else. It truly is a fine dining experience with mixology at the forefront.

We had a prepaid reservation, which made everything very smooth from start to finish. Each drink was paired with a food and they went very well together. They were also very inventive and creative so if you like to have fun with your food and Marvel and the creativity of the bar staff and the chefs this is a great place to go if you're looking for something different. They also offer add-ons for your reservation so we got the truffle explosion dumpling soup dumpling and I wish I had 50 of them. We would like to go back and try a different experience next time we go there, but I highly recommend it as a first time in Chicago experience or if you live around the area or if you're just looking for a good time.
