Krave

Krave has been my home bar for the last 7 -8 years and it has changed so much within that span. Toni, the manager, has made it a better experience with everything they are implementing. The shows are getting better with new faces being brought onto the stage. The drinks that Aaron, Toni, and Katie make are top notch mixology level cocktails. It's always a good time here.

No ginger ale, cool not the end of the world, but the bartender Moses, seemed really irritable, annoyed & unacomadating despite me being overly polite. It’s so frustrating being overly nice & still getting unprovoked bad service & expected to pay. When I explained I can’t taste any of the alcohol (tequila) in my drink he tried to fix it by adding more club soda & cranberry & saying I needed to just order a double, instead of catering to my request & re-making my 1 drink with just a splash of cranberry this time. I didn’t even drink the drink. It’s only $7. Im not by any means trying to get over. I asked him to taste it himself & he refused yet insisted it was made correctly… even if it was made correctly, I’m still nicely explaining to you, I don’t like it & asking you can you PLEASE make it a different way, yet you’re forcing me to pay for a drink I don’t like & barely even touched but this isn’t even the kicker he brought me another drink he made out of frustration that I NEVER ASKED FOR, & I thought he brought it to make up for the bad drink but when I asked to check out he CHARGED ME for 2 bad drinks. Un-freaking believable. I asked to speak to a manager & for him to take it off he claimed he was the manager & that I had to sign & leave. God is my witness I would never make something like this up….side note: the music being played doesn’t match me the vibe of customers that was there. Nobody seemed to be even enjoying the music. It’s not that it’s bad music it was just way too techno electronic & not matching the small crowd there…

The owners are always at Krave which is not good for business. It was slow for a Saturday and i can see why….I also havnt been here in years and well you just lost good money. Know how to respect ur guests or just go in debt lol.

I came here after my husband said he wanted a divorce. I’ve been coming ever since. It’s my happy place. Karaoke, strong drinks, friendly staff who are more like family, and surprisingly affordable prices. I’m grateful for Krave existing. There aren’t too many places in the southern parts of Chicagoland that cater to the LGBTQIAP+ community. ❤️

Some friends, my husband and I went to this place last night and the truth is that I was disappointed. One of the two people who work at the bar had a bad attitude when attending us. He asked us for the identifications. One of my friends was looking for it in her bag and when I told him to wait a moment he acted rude I felt that he was a racist because from the first moment they treated us badly. I never go back to that place and I hope that the owner of the place has a professional staff with a good attitude.

I love krave but karaoke nights are a bit of a disappointment. The guy in charge of the music doesn't update the list of songs for the black and hispanic customers. He puts himself before your name so that he can sing first and doesn't appreciate when the audience is singing and hyping up the ones on the stage singing. They should also have the music according to the customers that are there at the moment or at least offer the option of picking some genres of music to hear while we spend our money there.

The environment of Club Krave was soothing. There is no cover fee. The bartenders were friendly and asked us if we needed anything. Do not mistake the outside for the inside. The music they played were both modern pop and old classics. Even the people there were friendly and welcoming. Furthermore, the drinks are cheap and affordable. I would definitely come back.

I have had nothing but an amazing welcoming experience. I am a straight woman and have absolutely never felt any sort of judgment or out of place. The BarTender Randy is by far one of the best bartenders I've had with how fun and outgoing he is plus his martinis are OUT OF THIS WORLD. All in all I'll definitely continue to enjoy myself at this bar. Karaoke nights are my go to and my group of girlfriends ALWAYS have a blast on karaoke night.
