Booked the 7-Course Kitchen Table to celebrate a birthday. We loved it, it was such a special experience. I was worried from other reviews of having not enough food, too sweet of drinks, being rushed etc but we didn’t experience any of those! The first drink was sweet but the rest weren’t. There wer
While visiting Chicago, my partner and I wanted to celebrate an anniversary in style and chose to splurge on a five course cocktail/food pairing. It was a little pricey, but a great experience. We booked ahead for a weeknight reservation and we were promptly seated upon arrival. The open lounge styl
We’ve wanted to try The Aviary for a long time, and were excited to finally get the chance to stop in for drinks one evening. The interior felt a bit odd, like what you might find in a hotel lobby: open concept with an attempted update. But the drinks were fantastic! Definitely something you wouldn’
I can honestly say this is a great place and I wouldn’t want to stop anyone from going in and enjoying the experience. I just wish it was more tailored to the customer. As Barmini by Jose Andres
We had the 5 course food and drink option, wish the popcorn came with it because it’s a must. Each drink
If you are interested in unique cocktails this is the place to go! Although pricey, the cocktails are works of gastronomic art (both with the drink itself and the glassware!) and meant to savor. We sat on the patio, which was nothing to write home about, but that didn't detract from the experience o
If you want some interesting cocktails this is the place to go. We had the 3 cocktail flight and saved about $10 each verses ordering individual drinks. The flight had 12 out of the 16 to choose from so there is a wide variety. The food was very tasty although $20 for 1 scallop and a splash of ca
This used to be my fav cocktail spot to take out of town guests, or meet with fellow foodie friends 2-3 times a year to try out new drinks. Their drinks are still good, but don’t bother with their expensive food pairings! I’ve done the food pairings at least 4 times, each time hoping it was just a f
The Aviary is just so much fun!!!! One of my favorite places in Chicago. The drinks are just amazing, so adventurous! And the food pairing is just extraordinary. Must visit!
One of those places you have to try. Incredibly unique cocktails to choose from. It was a bit spendy but the drinks were fantastic and we had a blast. Highly recommend if visiting Chicago.
Wonferful cocktails with different flavors and vibes. The 3:10 Yuzu was sweet and sour (just the way we like it). We made reservations ahead of time so no wait and service was good. Make sure to also book The Office while you're there. Different atmosphere and so much fun. Keith, one of the best bar
Fantastic experience! We did the 5 course cocktail and tasting pairing and the experience was sublime! The pacing was great. We didn’t feel rushed and both the food and the drinks were superb. 10/10 recommend.
The Aviary will open up your palate and make you curious about the art of cocktails.
Recommend: Smoked Papaya and 3:10 to Yuzu.
The Aviary has a hotel lobby vibe, lots of hard surfaces with high ceilings. Very sterile in general. The cocktail menu has many choices and denotes spirit strength as well as which cocktails are high in presentation. This is key to the Aviary where presentation is clearly important. The cocktai
We did the 7 course tasting menu with the black truffle explosion. I highly recommend the experience if you love good food and cocktails. All of the food was delicious and high quality. The cocktails were fun, unexpected, and worth every drop. I will be raving about this dinner for years. Also, our
We visited for the first time a few weeks ago and had a blast. This is great place for date night cocktails. The cocktails are extremely unique and complex. They're not inexpensive, but I wouldn't expect them to be either. The food is just as good as the drink and all of the servers and hosts are ve
This has to be, hands down, the most neat-o bar I've ever been to. Certainly the classiest. Also the most expensive.
I went with a group of friends, and in the end it ended up being a bit pricy. But it was toootallly worth it.
For your best bet, I recommend the 3 drink pre-set. You get to orde
