King of Cups

Okay--don't do this. My friend and I walked in about five minutes and forty seconds before closing. We were surprisingly not turned away but was greeted by the coolest bartenders who made up a cute cocktail and didn't force us to hurry. We didn't dilly dally but joined in on conversation while they closed. The place is small but really cute. I'd definitely want to come back (much earlier) with a few friends and make a night of it.

Came for a quick drink for Happy Hour before a show. They have a good happy hour special. The place was quiet and modern music was playing. Only one bartender available when we came. For drinks we ordered Old Fashion and Plum Moscow Mule. Drinks were decent. The Mule may have been pre-made. I didn't watch the making of the old fashion but I pretty sure I saw the mule be poured from the draft. I would return with more time. Patio seems nice and the bar was a dark and sexy vibe.

The cutest, themed cocktail bar in Lincoln Park! Based on the amount of people there, I didn't think the cocktails would be that good but they were INCREDIBLE and so well crafted! Their happy hour is such a good deal, highly recommend the espresso martini because it's one of the best I've had in the city. I can't member the name but the one on fire with tequila or maybe rum was also a must order! The bartenders were super nice and very attentive. Keep in mind it's pretty loud in there though, FYI.

Great spot! Drinks were great and it was nice to get happy hour prices while there. Love the decor/vibe. Fun place overall

When I first heard about this place from someone ear hustling my conversation about awesome cocktail bars a few months ago, I was shocked that a place like this exists in Lincoln Park. I then found out this place is owned by the people that gave us Brandos in South Loop. I have now been a couple of times and the place is awesome. If there was a modern cocktail bar on Game of Thrones, this would be the place. I believe they do tarot readings in the back.I came on a date once and with a good friend of mine visiting from out of town recently. Scene is cool as it has a throne, dim lighting and very intimate setting. Not that big a place and if you want a guaranteed seat, its best to get a reservation. I was lucky enough both times to get a seat without reserving.As a mecal lover, the O'Guillotine is my go to cocktail here! It includes mezcal (of course), lemon, white balsamic beet shrub and finochietto liqueur...very delicious. Maximilian is delicious as well as its kinda like an old fashioned with banana mezcal and bourbon and they set it on fire. Grand Old Fashioned is great as well! Drinks range between $14-$20. Beer and wine is available as well. Love this spot as it great from small groups, dates, a buddy or even a solo mission.

This is probably my favorite bar ever. The ambience is dope. The pictures in the picture frame change. The drinks are amazing! The colors, the candles - this place is just rad! The drinks are really, and the staff is friendly, and super helpful. Oh, and did I mention that they do tarot card readings in the back? This place is so cool. Every big city needs a bar like king of cups!!

This place was very fun! We came here last year while in town for a conference and we had a blast here. We came during happy hour, so prices were very good and the cocktails were delicious. We loved the theme and decor inside and it was very cozy. Service from the bartenders was also great and we really had fun here. It's a good place to come with a small group, but it would be hard to come here with a big group since it's a smaller place. We definitely recommend coming here!

Chicago has a Spirit Lounge and Tarot Card reading bar that is a true Hidden Gem. $6 and $8 happy hour specials such as Espresso Martinis and Plum Moscow Mules; $15 Tarot Card Reading from Marcos; and boozy photo ops on their Royal Throne fit for LIT KINGS AND QUEENS! The prime spot to hangout after work! The very best bartenders serving deliciously crafty cocktails.

Neat place. Friendly staff but it is Wayyyyy smaller than the pictures look. Not quite the experience I thought it would be but still nice. Reservations r a must.

Immaculate vibes. This place is an Instagram lovers dream. We went for happy hour and were able to get booth seating and service right away. We tried the espresso martini and plum Moscow mule. Both were fresh and delicious. If we had one complaint it would be that the plum mule tastes like any other mule. Great atmosphere, would come back.
