Best Cocktail Bars in Bucktown / Wicker Park

We had an awesome waitress who helped highlight and explain several drinks. She was so personable . Loved the vibe and the experience.

Had a great time. Burlesque show was very entertaining. Everyone had a great attitude and provided excellent service. Five stars for Erin for going above and beyond in handling our back to back reservations on Friday and Saturday. We'll definitely be back.

The food is delicious! The charred cauliflower appetizer is amazing. We also enjoyed the lamb chops and the vindaloo. The vindaloo was not spicy so if you like spice we recommend asking for more. Lots of wonderful spices and flavors.

My girlfriend and I came to Chicago for a little mid-week getaway, partially for the holidays, partially for our anniversary, and Bamboo Room gave us everything we wanted. The atmosphere was low-key and intimate. The music was groovy and fun without being intrusive. John, the bartender was, as expected, incredibly knowledgeable. He was friendly and attentive and helped us pick out the drinks that were best for us - I was mainly there for rum, and she was mainly there for cocktails. The Tomato Presidente was a fascinating and unique experience, like biting into a fresh, sweet tomato but with rum, but honestly, the cocktail we'll remember most is the bespoke Kingston Negroni that John whipped up off the cuff with Cocchi Americano Rossa and Hampden HLCF Classic. Probably the best Kingston Negroni either of us have had, and we've had quite a few. Of course, the rum selection is one of the best in the city, and considering the rarity of some of the bottles, being able to get flights of several little tastes of things allowed me to sample some rums I might never see again without the price getting out of control. We also got the Thai fried chicken which was the perfect little bar snack to go with our drinks. Bamboo Room is not cheap; most people can't stop in on a regular basis for $25 cocktails, but it is a truly one-of-a-kind experience and a must for lovers of rum and/or expertly made drinks.

Great food at a reasonable price with great service. Catfish, burger, and wings were exceptional. Hoppin John and Mac and cheese were great.
