        Great place to hang out. They have performances every hour starting at 7pm. It's located in the basement behind the bookshelf on the right. Keep in mind they have a 90 minute limit on the table, so they'll kick you out if you try to stay longer. We tried the venison sloppy joe slider and really enjoyed them!

        Among the best cocktails I've ever had, in a very cool and totally authentic little speakeasy setting. Prohibition vibes. Excellent bar staff. Such a fun place.

        We waited for over an hour on a Thursday night -our only night in Chicago and they told us after WE FINALLY GOT IN that they were done with shows after 11pm. Thats the only reason we came and no one told us this before. I am so sad we wasted our only night waiting for a show. I really am.
