Sparrow

Sparrow has a very cool, speakeasy vibe. It's much more spacious inside than I expected. The cocktail selection is great, certainly more rum-forward. I was happy to see they also have a wide selection of global rum brands as part of their menu. Overall, great experience!

Coolest rum bar I’ve ever been to. The staff were so enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. It made it such a fun experience to try a number of different kinds of rum, especially when our bartender was so knowledgeable. Loved the vintage Casablanca style atmosphere. The old telephone booth, the hotel keys on the wall, the wood paneling and ferns gave it the perfect atmosphere.

Delicious cocktails and amazing service! The bartenders are skilled and the host is as efficient as possible with getting people through the line and into the bar. Worth the wait!

Sparrow was such a cute surprise! My husband and I were in the neighborhood and found it on google maps. It’s super cute and has a great cocktail menu. The bartenders were super welcoming and friendly. Nice little getaway from the city.

This is such a great cocktail spot! My partner loves cocktails and this was such a great addition to our itinerary. They have fantastic drinks and non alcoholic options as well. The atmosphere of the space is great with some cool old school touches, like the phone booth near the entryway. I would absolutely visit again on my next trip to Chicago!

An excellent curated rum bar. Finn our bartender took great care of us. The decor was beautiful and comforting. My only criticism is that Giffard Orgeat is frankly the worst on the market and a poor choice for such excellent rums. The fact that this is my only negative is a good sign! More neutral palette snack options would be appreciated too but the nuts we had were great for the price and quality was excellent!

This is such a special gem in Chicago. Super classy cocktail spot. It’s a rum focused, but not a cheesy tiki place. Their cocktails are spectacular and the bartender’s knowledge is amazing. It feels like I’m back in time. The rum old fashion is delicious and the daiquiri specials really showcase the fabulous variety of flavors that rum can exhibit. This is a must visit for cocktail enthusiasts.

Never got the chance to go into this place. Bouncer was on a power trip like I haven’t seen before. Friday evening, 6 PM. No one is outside. I walk in, only to be greeted by someone belittling be about missing the line. Again, no one was outside. No line. Then stayed I could not come in because I said one other person was meeting me here and I had to have my full party before entering. I was well dressed and in my mid 30s. I haven’t been profiled like this since my early 20s trying to get into clubs. I tell this story to everyone whenever the topic of bars gets brought up in conversation and I get pleasure knowing a stopped a few dozen patrons from trying this place out. Go down the street to three dots and a dash or make the trip to west loop instead. You’re welcome.
