The Lilac League

We happen to stop here during a wait for our table at Babcock’s Grove House main restaurant. We ordered an old fashioned and the pecks homestead. The pecks homestead cocktail was my favorite! We loved the vibes and how cozy it felt even though you are seated quite closely to others. It’s nice to have a spot to wait for your table and discover new cocktails to explore. Has speakeasy vibes when you enter through Babcock’s main entrance of the restaurant. We would stop by here again!

Place is super small. Bathroom is in the connected restaurant. The drinks aren’t good. Lavender one tastes like soap, old fashioned was gross. I’ve been here several times cause my friend lives in the area and he likes it but I haven’t had a drink yet that is good.

I love this place! Definitely gives somewhat of a speakeasy vibe. My server was amazing! I went too late so I was only able to try the cocktails which were perfection but I can’t wait to go back and try some of the food.

We went here on a bit of a lark and now keep finding excuses to go back. A super cool, vintage-decorated cocktail lounge with a well-curated menu of both staple and seasonal drinks. There's not a 20 page menu to sift through and not understand, and yet somehow the drinks on offer suit all palettes. While I have finally branched out and tried other drinks, the Violet Haze is an easy favorite. Servers are prompt and courteous, but not overbearing and pushy, which is really appreciated in a place like this where you want to sit back and enjoy the ambiance. While we haven't had food yet, I do also like that a selection of real food is available (cheese curds, sliders, fries) in case you need a small bite.

I loooooove this place. Lovely, quaint; like a nice cozy spot in Europe. And outdoor seating which is hard to find in this area for just having a cocktail. Most places you have to eat to sit outside. Nice restaurant adjoining with outdoor seating available; same owner, I believe.

We stopped here for a drinks before going to a festival and they exceeded our expectations. Marco is an amazing mixologist and made us some incredible cocktails. The owner stopped by our table to see how things were and greet us. Everything was above and beyond and we are so excited to come back! 1000% recommend.

I absolutely loved this place. Definitely a gem in Lombard. Has a very vintage, late 1800's feel to it. Low lighting, dark paint. Great for date night, or just a night out in downtown Lombard to get that old historic feel. The drinks were fantastic. I tried 4 different drinks on the menu. My favorite was the Full Bloom. The staff is so nice and friendly. Very attentive. This place has that charm, warmth, and vintage vibe to it.

Stopped by for a quick drink before they closed. The server was wonderful by not making us feel rushed and answered any questions we had. They have a few apps, but you can bring your drink over to Babcocks the restaurant next door. It was summer so we had our dog and sat on the patio. There was live music playing outside which was nice for the atmosphere. My husband got the old fashion flight and really enjoyed it! It’s a great spot in Lombard!
