    Lychee Martini
    Maley S.

    Stopped into Wang's for a Lychee Martini after happy hour. It was definitely a very busy night for them, as always, but they still provide good service, especially delivering drinks quickly and getting you in and out if that is your plan. They have a cute outdoor patio too, Wang's is always busy and I guess for good reason!

    Wangs has become one of my favorite spots for a spontaneous drink (although I always order the same thing haha). It's usually pretty crowded but we've always had luck with a table. The drinks are really good and quite unique. My go to drink is the ginger martini. Listen, I am not a martini or ginger girl BUT their ginger martini is heavenly. The only reason I cannot give a full 5 starts is because it is not the cleanest (floors are always sticky throughout the bar). However, I do understand that it's a bar and people spill drinks esp given how tight the space is.

    Right next to Wakamono, Wang's is a cute bar with some tasteful decor! It's giving red light district in Amsterdam and I'm here for it. The bartenders were attentive and quick to make some amazing drinks! I had the Tiger's Blood, it's a gin-based drink! Light, crisp, and refreshing!

    Amsterdam in America! What a cute craft cocktail bar; and the food isn't too bad either. The decor here is very tasteful and the staff are super attentive to the guest. I will definitely be back soon. Real soon!

    Love Wangs! I have been here many times and the drinks are priced well and strong! Love the ginger martini and the staff is always so nice!

    A snug crimson-hued haven. The rich red tones exude warmth and intimacy which creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxed evening. Their lychee martini and ginger martini are absolute must tries which deliver an exquisite blend of flavors. Wang's is connected to a Japanese restaurant that offers delectable small bites that complement the drinks. The attentive staff enhances the experience; ensuring every moment is enjoyable. Great for date night or first date jitters

    Stopped in later on a Saturday night. The place is pretty small and the service was very slow. The drinks were just alright despite sounding great on the menu. We did not order any food as their kitchen closed at 10:30pm. Overall, I'm not sure I'd be back.

    We just stopped in for a unsuspecting drink, and the ambiance of this place is amazing. It's so cool inside. Dark moody and well decorated. Our server was nice and while it wasn't exactly busy -- there were other people at the bar. I think I would definitely come back to have one of their cocktails from their expansive list or to try the bar bites!

    Just go! Go for a date (early; 4pm- 6pm). Go with friends for some evening cocktails! Go because you are interested in tasting some unique drinks! Just Go! Wang's has one of the BEST espresso martini's you will have ever tasted! Perhaps just one will do, but you will return for another! There is no absolute favorite to mention because the whole drink menu has been ingested on numerous occasions! When they are busy, don't trip! Whomever is working the "head of the house" commands the space EVERY time and service is great! Yes, it gets busy, but duh! Enjoy!

    Suzy and Fern are the best bartenders/servers! Super sweet and personable Love the ambience

    This is my new favorite cocktail bar! I loved the dark and unique decor and atmosphere and the amazing drink menu. I got the Voo Doo Magic, which was absolutely delicious. The drinks are a little pricey but they are strong, so you sometimes just need one! Can't wait to go back!

    Cool ambiance inside. Drinks are good, but possibly a bit overpriced. Good service, would probably visit again.

    The best way I can describe King of Cups is to say this place is a VIBE. The theme is all-in on…read moreMedieval, from the lighting to chandeliers, candles, mirrors, chairs, drapes, and even changing digital paintings. It is definitely unique, creative, and a massive differentiator from any other cocktail bar I've been to. Now, let's talk cocktails! The creativity of the interior extends into the menu. Unlike some places that just make variations of existing classics (except for items specifically so named, like the Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini), all of their cocktails are unique and interesting. Time for a punch card? I ordered the Maximillian the Imposter. While I'm not typically a fan of banana (except for banana bread), I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone, and I wanted to try something 'flaming'. Flaming it was! The preparation of the drink involved a surprising amount of fire. I initially thought this was just for show, but no, this translated into a noticeable smoky flavor. Beyond that, the drink was strong, not overly sweet, and an all-around delight. There was one bartender on the night I was here, and while it was busy, I was still able to get my drink in a reasonable amount of time. I also feel as though they have reasonable prices, especially considering the quality and the market rates. King of Cups gets busy, and for good reason: they are an all-around phenomenal place, from the drinks to the vibe, and everything in between. If you're someone who likes a seat rather than fighting through a crowd, get a reservation! See you there!

You know it is these days - most places just knock a dollar off and call it a day. This one is legit! I'd say you should make a reservation for prime time to ensure you'll have a seat. However when it's early no big deal to just pop by. I enjoyed the plum Moscow mule (not too sweet!) and the espresso martini. Both are on draft which made me nervous from past experiences at other places. However, these were great and I LOVED their espresso martini. The bartender was kind and the vibes were off the charts. Check this place out next time you're in Lincoln Park!

The bartenders are always very friendly and check in often which is always appreciated. You're always immediately given little pretzels to snack on which I love as a unique touch. This time we both chose a more standard cocktail, but they also always have very unique and delicious seasonal cocktails which are always amazing! I would definitely recommend Elixir to anyone looking for a spot to grab a quick and delicious cocktail!

    On our first night in Boystown, Jamie W and I were pretty overwhelmed by the crowds at Sidetrack…read moreand Roscoe's, so we ended up coming here to make Jamie's virginal gay bar debut. It was the right move because it had the kind of chill vibe we were seeking after a long flight from SFO. Fortunately there were two seats at the bar with our names on them. Figuratively speaking. They had quite a signature cocktail list on hand, and we felt it was our obligation to try as many as we could. At least that was what we said to ourselves as the evening wore on. Each cocktail was $14. We started with a couple of familiar libations. Jamie ordered the Mint Julep, a delightfully Deep South mix of bourbon, simple syrup, and fresh mint (photo: https://yelp.to/u-td8LdPLj). I went further south with the Pineapple Margarita which was emboldened by a tropically potent mix of pineapple infused tequila, lime juice, and agave (photo: https://yelp.to/V-Sf6Q_2qK). We got a bit bolder with our second round and found mixed results. Jamie had the Not Your Mom's Daiquiri which amped up the margarita by blending pineapple-infused tequila with Bacardi 8-year rum. Along with fresh lime and simple syrup, this one definitely had more of a kick (photo: https://yelp.to/1ZijDf6wMV). However, my order, the Pontiac Pony, was a spicy miss for me. It was a rather oddball mix of apple-cinnamon infused vodka, pear liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and ginger beer (photo: https://yelp.to/5dQoFdzG98). There was just a harshness that didn't sit well on my tongue. Oh well, the mellow vibe was cool. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...three out of four cocktails were aces, just one clinker AMBIANCE - 4 stars...very chill, fairly quiet for Boystown SERVICE - 4 stars...cool bartenders TOTAL - 4 stars...check it out when you take a break from your Boystown cruising RELATED - Exploring Chicago?
