    Yes 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!

    The 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!

    Love 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

    Nice 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.

    You 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

    Very 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.

    Highly recommend the famous "Weston". Wheaten bourbon, dark coffee matter essence, and pipe tobacco. Hands down best bourbon drink I've ever had.

    Berkshire Room oozes a cool, modern ambiance that hints at exclusivity. Nevertheless, the drinking agenda is decidedly democratic and the crowd ranges from locals & industry types to hotel guests. Read more

    Refresh 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.

    Antiques 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

    The decor includes antique spirits bottles, cut crystal punchbowls, the original terrazzo floor from the 1920s, and a room for barrel-aging cocktails.

    Feels similar to a speakeasy. Great cocktails in a classy setting. Only one unisex bathroom though, which seems a little crazy.

    The acoustics aren't great, and they lend the place a cold feel but the bartenders are good, friendly and really want to please.
