“Only there on Mondays to play magic with the boys.”

Only there on Mondays to play magic with the boys. Always been a great hang and nice atmosphere. The place is welcoming and the bar staff has always been excellent.

“My friends and I went here on Saturday night and really enjoyed it.”

My friends and I went here on Saturday night and really enjoyed it! We sat at a booth and ordered drinks at the bar. The bartenders were kind and attentive! The cut out in the ceiling above the bar is cool. They also have a huge, beautiful patio outback with murals on the walls. It was so nice! Since they don't serve food, you can bring or order your own. The restrooms are 2 single stalls for any gender. They're large, clean, and comfortable.

“Is one of the greatest place to try mocktails in Chicago.”

Is one of the greatest place to try mocktails in Chicago. They offer a wide variety of creative and delicious mocktails that are sure to please any palate. From fruity concoctions to sophisticated blends, they have something for everyone. The ambiance of the place is also quite pleasant to enjoy your drink. I was served by Grace who was an amazing Bartender and managed to make me some Mocktales that were not even in the menu! 👏🏾👏🏾

“I've been wanting to check this place out in my "acting like a human after depression" exposure...”

I've been wanting to check this place out in my "acting like a human after depression" exposure therapy, so when I saw they were doing comedy on a Saturday night when I was free I was like aight lets go. I anticipated much but not seeing an old friend who I haven't talked to in years for who really knows the reason but I don't think it was amicable. So I ran out a side door on the patio lmao. But then I went back in bc I didn't come all this way to be run out by someone who didn't notice I was there anyway. The point is, I really liked the vibes and music and kind bartenders (who played that Little Dragon song I love?) It was worth staying and risking a convo I wasn't ready for.

“Excellent little bar across the street from the end of Brown Line.”

Excellent little bar across the street from the end of Brown Line. Seasonal handcrafted cocktails surrounded by all sorts of people. Somewhat reminiscent of what old Chicago neighborhood bars used to be like minus the fancy cocktails. It is a perfect place for a secret rendezvous.

“Nighthawk offers fancy cocktails with chill neighborhood bar vibes.”

Nighthawk offers fancy cocktails with chill neighborhood bar vibes. The absolutely best patio in the neighborhood! I love that they change the drink menu seasonally so there's always something new to try.

Great spot for coffee and cockatiels, but my favorites are their Monday pop ups (typically first Monday of each month but they also sprinkle in some others too). The pop ups are a great way to feature other local chefs and bartenders and they choose a nice mix of cuisine to feature having had BBQ and Indian so far. Excited to continue Monday visits to this spot.

“I love this place!”

I love this place!! I like to study outside of my house and this place is perfect. Super chill vibe and great staff. Lots of people here doing work, too. It’s perfect! Try the Sergio Leon (with Four Roses bourbon), it’s the perfect fall/winter drink!! I’ll be back many many times ❤️

I come here quite often as it's right of the brownline, and one of the most unique things about Nighthawk is its unassuming and humble nature. Fair prices, good attitude staff (consistently), and great mixed drinks. Always glad to bring friends for a drink or two, or solo after work. Love the `commuter special`!

“Tremendous neighborhood spot.”

Tremendous neighborhood spot. Good WiFi and a great cast of regulars. The staff are like a big extended family that perfectly adds to the feel and appeal of the spot. Shout-out Emily, Arwen, and the rest of the crew.
