Whiskey Business

Came in for a quick drink while waiting for a dinner reservation nearby. The environment inside was really chill and welcoming. The drinks were well priced and yummy. We paid around $50 for 4 drinks and a shot. We tried the spicy mango margarita, paloma, mojito and espresso martini. All four drinks we recommended and would get again. There is also games to play like darts, skeeball, jumbo connect4 and jumbo jenga. The man serving us was also very nice and personable. Definitely looking forward to coming back and checking out the rooftop next time!

This is a good late night location if you're wanting to just have a good rooftop experience, however the food is a complete mess. I ordered tater tots and wings and both lacked any amount of flavor. The tater tots were mushy and I ended up not eating them overall the ambience is going to be your best decision with this location because the food is not the vibe.

Looks can be deceiving but you do not want to pass this place up. The drinks are good, like really good. And the food? Off the charts for the bar vibe they are going for. Highly recommend coming in for brunch; biscuits and gravy are fire and the chilaquiles might just be the BEST I've ever had. Service was bomb, do yourself a favor and ask Billy for an espresso martini. The cherry on top is the rentable Rooftop!

It's literally the worst event I have ever been too. Never got my "nugs" (I guess they were supposed to be fried thigh peices. Who knows. Couldn't get them in under an hour after paying a $40 fee for the event). On principle, I'll never go here again and always not recommend. What a joke of an event and place.

If you're looking for that summer vibe this is definitely the bar for you. Their outdoor seating has lots of sunshine and umbrellas for coverage. Ordering is super easy - with the simple scan of a barcode you can have everything delivered straight to your table. We still had our waitress check in on us periodically to make sure all of our food/drinks were coming out. There's lots of activities to do in the outdoor area as well. They had a cute unicorn spray water, connect four and a big jenga. There are a ton of drinks on the menu - I was surprised to see my favorite the 'dirty Shirley'. The food was also super delicious. Hands down one of the best experiences.

I came here yesterday with a couple of friends to celebrate their birthday. Everything online looked amazing and really fun and for a mid-week early out and about, we were incredibly disappointed. We got there a little after 1pm. A group of 4 others came in but they say on the "Cheesies" side of the bar. We asked if the upstairs was open and he told us that they were working on some things. He took us upstairs and there were workers building the cabanas and installing the top covering for them. The whole deck was covered in boxes and tools. The bartender/cook/manager?/whomever he was, mentioned that they would be finished soon. So, we didn't give up right away, we thought we'll have some nice frozen drinks and get it started! NOPE! She asked him if she could get one of their frozen drinks. The machine had not been turned on and it was basically just syrup. NOTHING was ready! It's Thursday afternoon 1pm and you all open at 11am! We ended up going down the street to another location. Perhaps later in the summer when they have everything fully put together that will resemble what the pictures and ads look like.

It's always the rooftop for me. I'm a sucker for a good rooftop and Whiskey Business certainly passed the test. This was last summer and sorry it took me so long to review. The happy hour specials are great. It's nice to just chill on a hot summer day. Everyone who works here is simply amazing when it comes to hospitality. I've been here twice since last summer and unfortunately didn't get videos and these were all I had in my camera roll. This is a summer time Chi must. Great for a hangout spot after work or hanging with friends. They' even have rooftop movie night. There is plenty of (paid) street parking. Keep in mind I'm a Bourbon girl so the name alone made me want to check this spot out. Glad I did. Looking forward to our next outing ;).

Great rooftop with really fun 80s neon decor (big fan of anything neon). As you'd except, they have good whiskey based drinks, as well as many other cocktails. The brunch platters were delicious- the French toast and chicken are must try's!Looks like they do outdoor movie events during the summer, and have a decent number of TVs to catch any sporting event that happens to be on. Even when raining the rooftop is a great hangout spot

OVERALL: As instagrammable as you think it will be, but it's not just looks! The food, drinks, and overall service make this place a winner. ATMOSPHERE: I mean, I had to start with this one right. A fun rooftop in Wicker Park with fun colorful decor and string lights. They even had a giant inflatable unicorn. They play upbeat pop music that makes you want to dance in your seat. Such fun vibes!DRINKS: They have so many classic drinks like mojitos, old fashions, you name it but our favorites were the (what we called) an adult capri sun and the magic 8 ball shots. The magic 8 ball shots were mystery shots and as you can imagine, you shook a magic 8 ball to figure out your shot. Some options lead to dares and a reroll! FOOD: We ordered the chicken sliders, steak burrito bowl, and Mac and cheese. For a place that we thought might be all looks, typically I don't expect the best BUT this food was absolutely delicious. I would absolutely eat all of these things again. PRICE: I thought the prices here were quite affordable. $10 for Mac and cheese, $8 for the base burrito bowl (we added a protein for $5), and the chicken sliders were $14 for 3 sliders. Drinks ranged from $10-$15. The magic 8 ball shots were $8 each but some of us got some good liquor like Patron. The odds were in our favor that night! SERVICE: Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. She was super fun to hang out with and encouraged us to video our magic 8 ball shot experience. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

First time here in the spring on the rooftop. Nice vibe and the staff new what they were doing. Quinn wasamazing she new her stuff amd was super friendly.
