I love The Conductor Club! I have been here for 4 different themes (Camp Crystal Lake, How The Conductor Club Stole Christmas, Jurassic Island, Home Alone) and have enjoyed every experience so far! This is our go-to pop-up bar and always look forward to seeing what theme they come out with next. The service has always been exceptional (even waiting a bit for our next drink has never bothered us because usually it is only 1-3 employees working the pop-up).
The drinks are always so good, and very strong. They kind of have a similar guideline each theme but we end up trying 4-6 drinks between the two of us each time. I love that they include standard size drinks, shots, and usually a punchbowl for two drink. They usually serve a cocktail from old themes too which is cool for people that may have missed out or really love that specific drink. I've gotten the chance to chat with some of the bartenders during these and they are just so fun to talk to. They really seem to enjoy their work and put real effort into the cocktail recipes.
We've eaten here almost every time we've come to a pop-up and love that you can get food from Pierpont's. The food is definitely pricey but thankfully, everything has always been really delicious.
The décor for the most part has always been 10/10 for me as most of the evening my eyes are exploring every inch of the room looking for more fun details. I do hope they keep improving the themes/décor because not every single theme has been as good as others - but even the worst of the 4 I've been to was still high level!
Overall, I love The Conductor Club and it is one of my absolute favorite bars - definitely favorite pop-up bar. The drinks and food are on the more expensive side of things so these pop-ups to us are really a treat and something we do a few times a year only. I definitely think anyone that has interest in pop-up bars, themed bars, or anything similar should go here at least once and really enjoy everything offered. Also, yes there is a small reservation fee but considering they mention this goes to the Union Station Preservation Fund, I am more than...
Read moreI'm only giving 3 stars because of where we were sat. All my girlfriends have been ranting about this place, so when I was finally able to get tickets for my husband and I, I was so excited! Until we got there and were literally sat by the door... felt like we weren't even a part of the atmosphere. Completely ruins the vibe when you can't see around the corner to the rest of the room, and the other half is just looking at a bight hallway. Drinks were very cool and yummy, but idk if I would go back in fear of wasting money getting sat by the...
Read moreThe Conductor Club's Wonkaween was definitely a night of pure imagination. The detailed decor and themed speciality cocktails were wonderful. The service was very friendly and took great care of us. This was our first experience with The Conductor Club and apparently they change themes throughout the year so I look forward to seeing what other themes they have. I highly recommend a reservation, because...
