Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014A welcome cocktail oasis for those in search of a hand-crafted drink in an understated but still chic interior. Read more
Time Out ChicagoApril 17, 2012A well-made cocktail was a hard thing to find in Boystown. Thankfully there’s Elixir, which not only shakes mean drinks, but also keeps the crowd in control and the music somewhat low. Read moreUpvoted Mar 17- Time Out ChicagoFebruary 14, 2012The clientele is mixed in age but not in gender, and everyone is on their best behavior, which makes it an altogether more sophisticated and adult experience than Elixir's next-door sister, Hydrate.

- Try the strawberry basil lemonade and the Moscow/Michigan mule. Say hi to the friendly and best bartenders on halsted.
Ken MoorheadNovember 13, 2012Super low-key spot on a Sunday night. If you're looking for boozy, go for the Vesper.
Great cocktails, but be careful, they're strong. Ask what house infusions they have, they're always great!
The raspberry bust is amazing! And Keith is the best bartender. ❤
Ross GuthrieApril 26, 2012Relaxed atmosphere & well mixed drinks. Come here to linger. Also, restroom is beautiful.
Will AndersonNovember 7, 2015Hey Elixir Lounge, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out!
Derek MorrinSeptember 4, 2014The cocktails are good, but the long wait due to understaffing takes away from the experience.
Austin DuusOctober 17, 2011Try the smoked margarita. Also, call me a size queen, but I love the big ice cubes.
Apple crisp martini is like an apple pie in a glass! So good!
Fonso MMay 10, 2012Slow service , maybe they need to hire more staff for a drink that takes 20 minutes to make or to cash out?
