Barrelhouse Flat - Chicago

An absurd amount of excellent cocktails. Romantic feel inside. Bartenders are friendly but leave you alone because, romance. : Almost everyone in there is on a date I probably wouldn't bring a pack of bros inside but maybe one bro. :

Great spot to grab beer and or cocktails. They have an additional bar area inside upstairs. The cocktails were well made. They are unique and flavorful. The pricing was on par with the area. Service was good. I would recommend this spot to start the night off or to grab a few cocktails after dinner.

This is a great spot for a first date. The cocktail menu is extensive and the bar tenders are very knowledgeable. I asked them to make something based on the tastes I liked and was not disappointed. It’s also not too crowded, but not too empty on a Saturday night. Upstairs is very classy.

One of my favorite cocktail bars in the city. Excellent atmosphere/ambiance that feels like a speakeasy. If you go to the back and put your name in you'll get a call when you can go upstairs to a more intimate floor that feels even more like a speakeasy and is less crowded and quieter. Food menu is really solid too. Great for a date if you want to impress.

The bar staff at this restaurant are exceptional. They are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about crafting a wide variety of cocktails from their extensive recipe collection. The bartenders are open to experimenting beyond the standard menu, creating unique cocktails based on your personal preferences and tastes. I have tried drinks from both the regular menu and those chosen by the bartenders, and I definitely prefer their selections, mainly due to the excitement they exhibit while making something special just for you. Although the food menu is quite limited, what they do offer is delicious.
