Are you looking for chill vibes but also good drinks?

Me too! I love a classy cocktail in a place that has a good vibe. Here are some of my favorite places!

Gus' Sip and Dip

DUDEEEEE.... If you haven't been here please go. The drinks are $12 and when you walk in the music is at the perfect volume, you are surrounded by oak wood paneling and its a WHOLE vibe. Try the crab Rangoon dip and the midnight stinger (pictured here)

3 dots and a dash


I mean, if you still haven't been here- you need to get on that ASAP. Although the beauty of 3 dots is going to an underground tiki bar in the winter, you still won't miss out if you go in the summer. Heads up the drinks are STRONG.

Murphy's

Yes it's near Wrigley, but once the game starts it's actually a nice place to sit and watch the game on the patio. There are usually lots of tables once the spectators head to the game. The drinks are cheap and they have tater tots!

Armitage Alehouse


Brunch is 10/10 and any and all cocktails are DELICIOUS! It's hard to get a reservation but they do walk ins- be sure to get there early and head down to any of the small bars on Halsted why you wait.
