I stopped by on a recent Saturday evening and had a Bee's Knees cocktail and a soft-pretzel with mustard. Both were delicious. The pretzel was freshly baked, not some microwaved deal and I enjoyed my beverage and snack at a sidewalk table to enjoy the Summer night. The two folks working that night were very friendIy as well. I really hope this place finds a growing and loyal clientele because it's a great spot to have in downtown Skokie. Pop by and give them a shot; i don't think you'll be disappointed.

One of the best cocktail spots I've been to. Live music on Fridays is awesome. Bartenders Kate and Sam are very creative and might be the best in Chicago. Love coming here.
Kate is such a good bartender! Had an amazing time, def coming back
Some "best of" awards may be bought or whatever but Kate's legit, the cocktails are well done and her creations outside the menu for your tastes are also top notch.
Awesome Cocktails. The staff is very friendly, will definitely come back again
Very nice date night spot. Excellent drinks and yummy pizza.
Neat little space with interesting drinks and a small, appetizer type menu. Our favorite band the Jazzeros plays monthly. Always a good time with friends, casual and easy to get to and park.
Just a great place with wonderful staff, fun events, amazing drinks and delicious food options! Always a great experience! Love the ambiance here!
