Chicago Speakeasy Collection 🥃
1️⃣ The Bassment Live music in different styles every time — the vibe is unbeatable! 🎶 Snapped a pic with the adorable rubber duck bathtub 🛁 — the “Bathtub” drink made me the star of the night! A surprising combo of vodka + cream that actually works! 🦆🥂 2️⃣ Blind Barber By day, it’s a retro barbershop ✂️; by night, it transforms into a hip-hop bar 🎧. Such a cool concept! Their highballs and fries are amazing, and cocktails like Strawberry Fields and Forever Young live up to their names — makes you want to try them all! 🍓✨ 3️⃣ Lazy Bird Hidden behind a small door next to the Hoxton Hotel 🚪. Their menu leans toward classic cocktails, but the execution is top-notch — truly “delicious”! 🥃🎷 Plus, they often have live music. 4️⃣ Three Dots and a Dash So famous it’s barely a “speakeasy” anymore — just follow the long line outside Firecakes Donuts 😂. Sweet, fruity rum-based cocktails in a full tropical vibe 🍍🌴. Rumor has it the Bamboo Room inside is even better? 5️⃣ Booze Box I ate at Sushi Dokku multiple times before discovering this hidden izakaya downstairs! 🍶 Perfect for sake, Japanese whisky, and highball lovers. A cozy gem for a laid-back night. 6️⃣ The Violet Hour The entrance is concealed behind a street mural 🎨. Stylish and intimate — great for dates or small gatherings. The cocktail menu is creative with unexpected recipes… though both drinks I ordered missed the mark for me 😅 Update: Sadly, this spot has closed. 🥲 7️⃣ The Office A luxurious hideaway tucked behind the restrooms downstairs from The Aviary 🚪🧼. Their cocktails reimagine classics with unique twists — layers of flavor in every sip. The Old Fashioned is a must-try! ⭐ Remember to book ahead! #ChicagoSpeakeasy #HiddenBars #CocktailCulture #LiveMusic #BarHopping #ChicagoNightlife
