Blind Barber

Came here to grab a drink after work and they had happy hour with delicious espresso martini and old fashioned and many other drinks. The vibes were great, especially after the playlist was switched to raye!

Drinks were fine but expensive. Security was super unprofessional to the point I was uncomfortable being in there. Door persons were fine but in the speakeasy they were very aggressive over nothing. Music was awesome and a really cool place overall but price and the level of professionalism from staff will likely keep me from going back.

Had the absolute best time here last night. The DJ was incredible and brought back the essence of a true 2000s club vibe, and suddenly it felt like 2016 again in the best way possible. This spot is such a gem, with an amazing team from start to finish. The door staff were great, and Liv took exceptional care of us all night. If you’re looking to dance, enjoy a drink (or a few), and vibe to genuinely good music, this is the place.

My friends and I (five of us) stopped by Blind Barber in Chicago as part of a birthday celebration. The bar was very crowded when we arrived, but we were fortunate to find two seats together at the corner of the bar. This was important because two people in our group have medical conditions that make it difficult to stand for long periods. We ordered drinks and had been seated with an open tab for about 30 minutes when an employee approached us and told us we needed to give up our seats because the area needed to be “reserved for the owners,” who were on their way in. Shortly after, a bouncer pushed through with the owners’ entourage — including a man in a tuxedo and several others — and we were expected to clear out so they could take our seats. I have never experienced being asked to

It was once a better place; I used to frequent this bar regularly, but now you will encounter intimidation and extortion at the entrance. The staff outside are exceedingly rude and greedy, and even their regular patrons are not exempt from their appalling lack of hospitality. Nevertheless, the atmosphere inside can be enjoyable on certain days, but I have no intention of returning. The short black bouncer was quite a character.
