Zebra Lounge - Chicago

I had high expectations when I entered this speakeasy. The idea of a piano bar with cocktails made it seem like a classy jazz lounge, but it turned out to be more of a rowdy bar with a mediocre performer on the keys. The service was decent; the brunette bartender was excellent, but the blonde one wasn't as friendly. She seemed irritated with me, especially when I inquired about the start time of the show. It wasn't terrible, but it was far from the 1940s-style speakeasy lounge it claimed to be. I left feeling disappointed.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and Armado was truly exceptional!

Kelly was fantastic!!! The bar is cozy with welcoming staff and excellent entertainment.

Armando is fantastic behind the bar! Stephen on piano was everything! His voice is amazing!

I almost don't want to tell y'all about this hidden gem...small bar with big vibe. The piano player is THE star.
