    This place has been on my list for a while now and it's absolutely so cute. There's a patio for summer or winter but you need to reserve early if you would like to be seated there for happy hour. Their happy hour menu is really good. Only $7 spritz menu and we got their happy oysters which was good, but some were a little better than others. The bone marrow was alright, wished it came with bread rather than hard chips. This restaurant is so cute and definitely need to come back for their patio season. The service was good, but I know they are busy but water was not refilled at all which they need to be more attentive I wished the did, I saw other tables had refill bottles but ours didn't get any. This is one of the service I look forward to especially when dining.

    Came here for a Friday happy hour for the $1 oysters! My bf had the Cabernet which is not my fav not a fan of red wine. It was $19 a glass and I had the aviation spritz which was ok I would rate 3/5. I thought there would be more flavoring of the cherry but in the picture it was pretty much clear. The glass is also much smaller than the wine glass I did not realize that when looking at other pictures. Just a heads up. We had 3 dozen oysters which were delicious and their cocktail sauce had the perfect amount of horseradish. The oysters were good and they were a $1 which is an amazing steal. One thing I wish they kept was the liquor from the oysters but the way they were plated there was none. We also had the bmg flatbread which was pretty good and simple a little on the smaller portion side 4/5. Lastly we had the bone marrow which was decadent and tasted like kbbq and the chips were pretty delicious as well. 4.5/5. The service was ok we would've loved a more consistent service as their hosts are also the food runners. This has nothing to do with the actual servers just something we noticed that the restaurant does differently than what we've experienced before. This place is definitely smaller portions so if you like a hefty portion to be full and have leftovers this may not be the place for you. But if you like talking catching up over $7 spritz and oysters this place is great. Small intimate setting and I didn't go into the secret patio but it looked pretty cute.

    Volo is such a cute spot -- the decor is charming and definitely Instagram-worthy. The service was wonderful, with attentive and friendly staff that made us feel very welcome. We came during happy hour and really enjoyed the cocktails. I had the Aviation Spritz, a gorgeous purple drink that was as tasty as it was photogenic, followed by the sangria, which was delicious. The food, however, was just okay. We ordered several shareable plates, but the portions were on the smaller side -- really only enough for two people to share comfortably. It would've been nice if the serving sizes were a bit more generous. But we did order multiple of them so it wasn't bad. My favorite plate was probably the beets and green salad. Overall, a lovely atmosphere with great drinks and service, but the food portions could be improved.

    Volo is a very cute wine bar tucked into Roscoe Street. They have a great happy hour deal between 4PM-6PM which is when you'll see the restaurant packed. We came in early for our 5:30 PM reservation and needed to wait due to it being a packed house. Unfortunately we were seated late by 15-20 minutes as our table in the back patio wasn't ready. Once we were seated we had great service and wonderful food. You can choose to eat either large plates or small plates. We ordered a selection of foods and drinks and all were tasty. Roasted bone marrow (3.5/5): One bone marrow was good and thick and the other two were super tiny Oysters (5/5): Classic and on ice with plenty of sauce Cheese Board (5/5): Good heaping amount of jam and crackers to pair with the cheeses Heirloom Tomato Salad (5/5): We fought over these, incredibly flavorful Olives (4/5): Nice and plentiful Salted Caramel Mousse Dessert (5/5): We also fought over this, very light but rich. Will be dreaming about this. FYI--The hostess stand is weirdly in the middle of the restaurant, we almost flew by it when we first came in.

    How rare to still find $1 oyster. We came for HH right before the Cubs game for a quick snack and the oysters were pumped! Ordered 2 does an amongst my husband and myself and we killed that up real quick. Their in house sauce was amazing too. They had other HH menu items and I would be nice to see more options included too but overall cute spot for a date and also to get your oyster fix.

    We came to Volo Wine Bar for happy hour and it did not disappoint! They had great deals on both food and drinks, which made it the perfect spot for a girls' night out to catch up. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the covered patio added such a charming touch--ideal for relaxing and chatting in comfort. Service was quick and super friendly from start to finish. I did run into a small issue with my food, but the staff handled it so professionally and quickly made it right. They even offered me a complimentary drink, which was such a thoughtful gesture. All in all, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely recommend this spot. $1 oysters | $2 lemoncello shots | $6 wine + more!!!

    So I've been wanting to go here for probably five years after I heard that it had one of the best patios in Chicago. However, that patio was very hard to get a reservation on, so I sat inside instead for happy hour. The service was pretty slow and I know that they were really busy because there was a street festival, but it took a really long time. The actual cocktails that we tried were decent overall and the food was fine? I probably wouldn't go back unless I could specifically sit on the patio with. It does seem like a nice place to have a glass of wine or go on a date but again I was a bit letdown. I would give it another shot though.

    Volo Wine Bar is truly such a hidden gem and one of my new favorite spots in Chicago! Their cozy, intimate patio is actually unreal -- I'd go back for that alone, and the food and wine/cocktail lineup is also just as amazing. The staff are great too. Their Happy Hour is one of the best I've found too: $1 oysters, $6 wine, and $8 sangria (Tuesday-Saturday, 4-6pm). Plus, they're currently celebrating their 20-year anniversary right now with 20% off all champagne, which is such a great bonus. Highly recommend checking this place out -- you won't want to miss this one!

    Atmosphere was on point! Happy hour was on point. The only thing is their cheese board was awful! The cheese was hard and was clearly left out for a while. The cheese also had a piece of paper which looked like mold. Nonetheless, will be back. Just skipping the cheese board going forward.

    Amazing happy hour oysters and wine!
    Deanna S.

    Very nice happy hour! Dollar oysters and $6 glass of house wine! Both were great! Stayed for a while And the server was so nice and attentive whole time. I'm still impressed with how great their house wine was! Plenty of outdoor seating also which is nice when weather permitting. Nice date spot or a night out with friends!

    I absolutely love the passion and detail towards Volo. All the drinks and food were amazing, there truly is something for everyone. The staff was also amazing, everything came so quick, nicely presented, and we were checked up on the perfect amount! I loved the heated patio, it's great for all year round!

As she set down this sticky, wet, under-filled mess, I asked her exactly how much of my husband's $16 cocktail she had just spilled. She said, "Yeah, the bartender over-poured," and walked off. We then watched her do the exact same thing to every mixed drink she ran. Way, way too expensive to be delivering messy, dripping, quarter-empty cocktails.

The bartender was nice. When asked, he said none of their drinks are really sweet. He said some Logan Square bartenders have PTSD from people asking about sweet drinks, as if they're the only ones who don't like sweet cocktails (hilarious). I didn't mean anything by it but was debating on the flavor and if I was up for something sweet or not. I landed on the Fortune Teller, perfect sipping drink. Lots of complex flavors, not too sweet, can definitely taste the coconut and pandan. I was surprised by the how much pandan flavor there was.

I walked from the Blue Line and felt extremely safe. It's in such a pretty part of town. There are plenty of seating spaces both inside and outside. When you arrive, you find a table you like and then go up to the counter to order. They have QR codes everywhere so you can see the menu online. If you like natural wines this is the place for you. The people who work here are absolutely incredible. I came straight from the airport so had my suitcase and one of the bartenders offered to take my bag to the back which I adored. My friend also took a really long time to get there from work so I just hung out for a while and they didn't make me feel too weird about it. One of them even gave me a generous pour of the wine I got. I also ordered us a meat and cheese board which was simple, but nice. Do know that the prices are a bit high here. If you want to get a full bottle of wine the average price is about $60 for a bottle. The aesthetics of this bar are A+. It is really loud inside. The name says it all, you will be using outside voices. While we adored this place, the music was a bit loud so it was a little hard to catch up. That being said, we made the most of it. It also was the spot that I asked her to be my bridesmaid so it'll forever have a special place in my heart.
