- Bailey ShemenskiAugust 16, 2015Saturday- shot of bourbon and an old style can for $5. Can't beat that! Hang out in the back room- dark leather benching, very library feel.
GinaDecember 27, 2014Beautiful intimate bar with approachable staff. Was practically empty in the early evening (6pm). Cocktails are alright, personally enjoyed the Mezcal the most. 4 cocktail carafe for $24, good deal!
- Leah JubinalApril 16, 2014It's the old Empire. They play hip hop and serve legit cocktails. It's definitely got a lounge vibe. You'll like it if that's what your into....which I am.
Emily BoltonApril 27, 2017This place is amazing. Chill weekday vibes with stellar cocktails and turnt up jams on the weekend. Perfection.
Serious EatsSeptember 27, 2013Ronnie Higgins, formerly of Bar Deville and Bangers & Lace, designed the cocktail program at this new Wicker Park bar.
Victoria U.May 12, 2018A solid bar with amazing music. A mix of 90s hip hop and today’s hits. Back room for dancing.
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The Reveller at the Revel Room is one of the 100 best things we drank this year.
Nice chill bar with sweet booths. Most recent deal was beer and shot for $5. Nice bartenders.
