Grapes & Grains

Cute and cozy piano bar. Lauren Hall was performing the night my husband and I attended an after-party. Took awhile to get our drinks. We were standing in line at the bar. I also saw that they had waitresses taking orders in the seating area if you didn't want to stand in line. I tried the French Martini. Probably won't be having another one. It's not the bars' fault. I just wasn't a fan. Will have to visit again when I am in the Chi!

I celebrated a milestone birthday in NYC & THE CHI. Hip Hop and are the same age and I wanted to represent for the culture, movement, and LOVE of Hip Hop. My girl ordered a cake and we celebrated there. I was happy to be celebrated but maybe would have chose a different place. Ambiance was very bar..there was a lady signing songs while playing the piano. Not bad... LMFAO.. she even attempted to do Gin & Juice.....Laid back... with my mind on my money...and my money on my mind!!! Kudos to her for that. When it was time for her to sing Happy Birthday.... She kept saying the wrong name....well that's Fuqd...The cake was brought out to me and she sang to someone else..... Hilarious!

We literally stumbled upon this gem while walking back to our hotel. The live music piqued our interest so we took a peek inside...and ended up closing down the place!Turns out we stumbled upon pure gold...a bar that specializes in wine, whiskey & cocktails with live music most every night...where has G&G been all my life?!There were a few people ahead of us waiting to be seated--but it didn't take long to get two spots at the bar. While we waited, the One Tree Hill theme song by Gavin DeGraw started and we knew it was going to be a great end to our night! We were treated to the vocal and piano stylings of one very talented Laura Cai. Throughout the evening we were able to request songs via Venmo.The cocktails were on point--really decent selection of bourbon and whiskey.

Stopped in on a whim after a dinner date and boy were we so happy we did! Cozy little corner spot for an drink and entertainment. They had a live piano player and vocalist, taking requests and KILLING it I might add. Elton John, OutKast, and *NSYNC all in rotation they were pros. They do not take cash FYI. I had a strawberry based drink and she was just like I like my men: strong, sweet, and served with a strawberry on fire. I'd definitely come back! If you have a larger party, I highly reccomend a reservation so you can get the kind of seat you want.

How did I not know of this place!? Drinks, music and great service! You walk into old Chicago charm on a busy corner in the west loop. It's lively outside and in with the windows open during the summer. Inside is a nice space that's big enough to fit plenty but cozy enough for piano lounge vibes. The staff was absolutely attentive and accommodating. Sure, there is a cover charge but you should expect that for an entertainment venue. Plus it gets applied to your bill. A really good selection of drinks. I particularly like the pretty boy swag for a tropical twist. They also have plenty of whiskey drinks.Live music on fridays and saturdays with an early and late act. Really loved the early act that's a bit more toned down. Super easy to request songs via Venmo/pay pal or slips of paper. It reminded me of a piano bar we had in college. I like it way better than the other commercialized places. I really hope this place sticks around, great to take visitors to get that old Chicago feel!

Stepping into the cozy confines of this piano bar is like entering a realm where time slows and worries melt away. The warm glow of dimmed lights sets the stage for an evening of musical enchantment. As the pianist's fingers dance across the keys, each note fills the air with a captivating melody, weaving a tapestry of nostalgia and joy. Patrons are greeted with attentive service and a carefully curated selection of libations, perfectly complementing the elegant atmosphere. Whether you're savoring a solo performance or joining in a sing-along with newfound friends, this piano bar exudes an ambiance that lingers long after the last chord fades away.

My fiancé and I visited Friday evening, thought we could walk in without reservations but you definitely do need reservations. There is also a $10 cover fee staring 7 pm (I believe), even with reservations. The guy at the reception counter was able to get us seated even without reservations, which was greatly appreciated. What made this place unique was the live music which was amazing! To be honest, I was expecting a more lowkey, romantic vibe but as the night went on, it got rowdier. This is because you're able to request the artist to play any song you like. That's okay, though, everyone was having a good time! We also ordered a bottle of wine and a cheese board. I enjoyed all the cheeses, so it definitely hit the spot. The total came up to around $110, which imo is pretty pricey for just wine and cheese but we still had a good time!

The ambience, service, and staff are nothing short of exceptional - they consistently exceed a five-star rating! With a diverse range of offerings, their extensive drinks menu is a treat (be sure to sample the old fashioned) complemented by delectable bites. It's the perfect spot to relax, revel in live music, and savor delightful drinks amidst a welcoming atmosphere. A visit is an absolute must, and you'll undoubtedly be drawn back for the incomparable vibes it offers!

Rediculous drink prices. Four drinks with their automatic 21% tip came to $100, including $23 alone for a standard old fashioned that they charge $10 at happy hour. I love live piano but it also was way too loud with the acoustics. Service was good and I liked the dark vibes though.

Really awful , both me and my friends drink tasted like a club drink and after they were able to switch mine out we were told the establishment closed at 12 so last call was at 11:30 . And they promptly gave us the bill with a 21% mandatory tip charge! Have you ever heard oof a mandatory tip ? The reason this place got two stars was 1 for the ambience inside reminded me of a nice La bar we went to called mr nice guy before , the other reason is my drink which they switched out to a whisky sour tasted okish
