Broken Shaker At Freehand Chicago

Tony D'Antonio

We went on a Tuesday night. Both bartenders were very friendly, knew their cocktails, and made one special that hit the spot! There was a group having a good/loud time in the bar area, so we retreated to the cozy/comfortable lounge, and the server there was super nice/fun!

The drink I had was excellent! The flavors blended together perfectly. The service was absolutely terrible for a place of this caliber. Waited over 15 minutes for a server to come over, ordered drinks and was advised that they were doing last call in 15 minutes at 11:30 (posted closing time was 1am). Server asked us if we wanted to close or run a tab. We left it open, another woman brought it back closed out at 1130 and told us it was too late to order anything else. The 2nd server was also missing a front tooth and seemed to be high on drugs or something. Questionable at best

The Broken Shaker is a vibe. It's adorable and nothing else really matters. But I'll go on anyway, the music is nice, and the food and drinks are decent. The Broken Shaker is a tiki bar themed bar inside thr now Freehand Hotel, formerly Tokyo Hotel. The name of the drinks are fun and a conversation in themselves. Food was pretty good. I ordered chardonnay with tomato soup and grilled cheese.
