Hey hey! I'm back again! Today I'm sharing a gem from my archives
Located underneath The Green Door Tavern. First, you walk through the bar on the first floor, head toward the back staircase, go down to the basement, and you’ll see a display case. But guess what — it’s actually a secret door! 🚪 Pull it open and a host will greet you inside. The bar is called The Drifter. They usually have burlesque shows in the evenings — the kind of glamorous performances you often see in Vegas. 🎭💃 Unfortunately, we missed the show when we went. When there’s no live performance, they play videos to set the mood. The whole bar feels sultry and mysterious — dim lighting, small candles on the tables… the vibe is totally intimate and enchanting. 🕯️🌙 Their cocktail menu is pretty unique: you can choose your drink using tarot cards! 🃏 Each card represents a different cocktail. We tried a few, and the most memorable was a sweet-and-sour blackberry gin cocktail. 🍸🫐 Another standout was an herbal, slightly smoky specialty drink — I looked it up later and it's made with rhubarb liqueur (yes, like the plant!). The flavor is truly intriguing and unexpected. 🌿🔥 #ChicagoSpeakeasy #HiddenBar #TheDrifter #SecretDoor #TarotCocktails #BurlesqueNight
