My boyfriend and I stayed at the attached ACME Hotel (which we thought was great also) while visiting Chicago for our first times in November. The Berkshire Bar and adjacent West Town Bakery were near our lobby, so we stopped in for a few late-night drinks one of the nights we were there. I had a friend actually meet up with me at our hotel one night, so her and I had some drinks together as well. The service was great (but we were seated at the bar so that makes it easy.) Not a lot of seating up at the bar, but there are some small tables nearby and standing room as well. It's dimly lit which gives it a nice, mellow ambiance. Drink prices were average for the area (which we were surprised to discover was quite a bit higher than what we pay here in the Bay Area, CA). Miller High Life ($6), Corazon Blanco shots ($7) and a grapefruit White Claw ($8). Enjoyed the visit to Chicago and when we go back, if we stay in the same neighborhood, we'll definitely pop in here again.
One of the top 3 cocktail bars in the entire city. If you have 4+ you should make a reservation regardless of what time you come because it's very small and fills up quickly.
The bartenders will make you whatever you like, so the menu is extensive but don't be afraid to give them a liquor you like and some ingredients and let them go to town.
This is a great date night spot if you want to impress someone before you go home 😜
Great place for drinks and small appetizers. I only had drinks but it was strong

Let me just say, I’m not a huge cocktail drinker because oftentimes I feel that I get a drink that is two parts rubbing alcohol and one part pure high fructose corn sugar syrup.
This place? I could have had three cocktails in quick succession because these cocktails are perfectly balanced and smooth and created with such expertise that each sip is heaven.
The dealers choice was what my husband went with, and the surprise drink was exceptional. I had their take on the aviation and it was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, hands down, and introduced me to black gin. I love most gins but lt had never had black gin and now I’m pretty sure my gin drinks for the next few months will have to have it in there.
The service was professional and superb; not too pushy but not too distant to ensure we were having a good time. I loved the small, dark, cozy ambience; it felt more like a classy house party than a bar, and while it was a little loud (Friday night 2000) that couldn’t be helped and no one was wild, it was just a lot of voices in a small space. I’ll be back here and I’ll be telling all my friends with a nose for good well balanced drinks and a penchant for chill classy spots to head this way!
Love this place everyone’s so nice especially Daniel the hosts Charles, Charlie, Jesse, red, the whole team is awesome I love it and the bartenders all make great drinks will definetly be coming back 😉
I always make a stop here whenever I’m in the River North area. They have some interesting house original cocktail as well as some solid traditional ones. If you’re feeling adventurous, go for the “dealers choice” and have the bartender’s expertise and creativity come through. These folks are absolute magicians behind the bar.
This place comes complete with the coolest vibes and freshest drinks! Cool, sophisticated, classy, and a bit of mystery sets this place off something special! Great chill atmosphere. Comfy seating. And the bartenders are some of the very best mixologist I’ve ever seen. True magicians! Get the dealers choice drink. You won’t be disappointed. Cheers!
Jason was awesome! And made our night so special. The vibe is amazing. I love that we’ve found this special gem in our city with great atmosphere and drinks! Definitely recommend!
Beautifully designed interior, warm and welcoming with really great bartender / mixologists. The drinks crafted here really are amazing, both in look and taste.
The drinks menu is very well put together. Order off menu with ease also. They know what they’re doing here and it shows.
If your a fan of whiskey, you’ll be impressed with the huge collection that’s on offer.
Definitely worth a visit, we’ll be going back that’s for certain.
You have got to go there. 10/10!
They make incredible drinks, ask them about dealers choice! They will concoct a drink specifically for you. Ask for Red to be your server!
