Jen KaneNovember 22, 2013Yes it's pricey, but this is the kind of place you come to for a fancy drink not a $2 PBR. Great cool vibe,interesting cocktails(order the Weston), oh and don't forget the Cracker Jacks!Upvoted Feb 13- Alex FlisMarch 1, 2014The bartenders choice drink options are so fun... You pick an alcoholic, a flavor, and a presentation... I chose the same combo three times and got different drinks each time...delicious and fun!
- Alex FlisApril 5, 2014Love how you pick the presentation, and flavors and the mixologists craft you a unique cocktail. Love the concept, I ordered the same options twice and got a different drink each time... So cool
Amanda RellaSeptember 27, 2017Nice little date spot. Cool atmosphere. Bartenders serving up drinks based on alcohol, flavour profile and cup type. We got egg white in all our drinks and the bartender did an amazing job.
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018You sit at the bar. Bartender asks what do you enjoy? You share some ingredient's and the magic happens. He/she creates a unique beverage to you...one of a kind. Amazing offering in Streeterville. YUM
Ray SealsJune 2, 2014Very well stocked selection of bourbons. Hard to find and new releases. It's worth a stop for a pour of something you've always wanted to try.
- Mark WongSeptember 5, 2014Highly recommend the famous "Weston". Wheaten bourbon, dark coffee matter essence, and pipe tobacco. Hands down best bourbon drink I've ever had.
Dana DanielleSeptember 8, 2016Refresh button is just that! Pulled chicken sandwich is more filling then most items. Intimate private back room can be rented or reserved. Great spot for drinks not dinner.
Shayan SanyalJanuary 14, 2020Great cocktails / especially good mezcal (Dante’s dream). They have great virgin cocktails too.
Kate McCormleyMay 7, 2016For the spice lovers out there, Miss Clavel is effing fantastic. Everything I want in a valences amazing cocktail. Double yum.
Allison KaminskiJuly 7, 2015Go here to have the bartender make a cocktail based on your favorite type of spirit!
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Antiques are everywhere, the marble floors are original to the hotel that once occupied the building in the 1920s and the vibe is cool and sophisticated. Read more- Kathryn YuJuly 8, 2013The decor includes antique spirits bottles, cut crystal punchbowls, the original terrazzo floor from the 1920s, and a room for barrel-aging cocktails.
Adam EvansJuly 2, 2014Build your own drink. You won't be disappointed. They create awesome cocktails!
NathanJanuary 26, 2016Don't over look their bar snacks, creative and delicious. Their bourbon menu is world class.
Michael TumbaliJuly 13, 2014Jodi's (sp?) Service was just as incredible as the cocktails! Mezcal, Spicy, Rock glass. Do it!!
Chad FalkDecember 13, 2014If you can't find a scotch or bourbon you like here, you're not trying hard enough. More than 100 different choices of each.
Kelly NashSeptember 24, 2013Feels similar to a speakeasy. Great cocktails in a classy setting. Only one unisex bathroom though, which seems a little crazy.
Adam TAugust 26, 2014The acoustics aren't great, and they lend the place a cold feel but the bartenders are good, friendly and really want to please.
Serious EatsMarch 4, 2014The bartenders of The Berkshire Room in the Acme Hotel invent new drinks for customers on the spot.
Ms HeleneNovember 11, 2015Bartenders can make customized cocktails. Popcorn and chickpea snacks better than you'd think
