Walking into Selva Lounge feels like stepping into another world one where the city noise fades and you’re immediately wrapped in a warm, magnetic energy. The vibe is effortlessly cool and incredibly inviting. Selva isn’t just a lounge; it’s a whole experience. From the atmosphere to the people, the music to the drinks everything comes together so naturally. If you're looking for a spot that’s equal parts chill and electric, where the night feels both laid-back and unforgettable, this is it.

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Selva, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.”

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Selva, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! We kicked off our night with some amazing drinks, including their Agave Flight, the Intro to Mezcal, and the standout cocktail, THE G.O.A.T. Each sip was a delightful journey through unique flavors that perfectly complemented the vibrant atmosphere. The food was equally impressive. We indulged in the Chicken Tinga Tacos, which were bursting with flavor, and the Quesadilla, which was cheesy and satisfying. The Sun Cloud dish added a refreshing twist, while the Totopos and Tostones provided the perfect crunchy accompaniment. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s talent and creativity. The entertainment was the icing on the cake. We were captivated by some of the best burlesque dancers, who kept the energy high and our toes tapping throughout the evening. Their performances added a playful and engaging element to our night. To end our evening on a sweet note, we enjoyed the Warm Spiced Chocolate Cookie. It was the perfect finish—soft, rich, and indulgent, leaving us with a smile on our faces. Overall, Selva hit all the right notes with exceptional drinks, delicious food, and fantastic entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!

It was my step daughters birthday and after we left our dinner location we stopped here to have a few drinks before we went home. We haven’t been here in about a year. It was originally the acme hotel and I’m thinking after a sale and a few renovations.. selva emerged.. even better than ever.. we only stayed for about a hour.. but we had a great time.. I just wish we had more time but maybe next time..

The best bartender I've ever seen. He really loves his job and knows absolutely everything about it! Look for Michael the bartender with a gorgeous beard and just tell your preferences to taste and he will do what you will fall in love with (I had to drink 6 cocktails)

“Nice and cozy place, tasty smashed double burger and the best part of this place is the bar and Michael in particular.”

Nice and cozy place, tasty smashed double burger and the best part of this place is the bar and Michael in particular! He’s a real magician at work. You can just tell what would you like to taste in your cocktail and he’ll bring it to life in the best possible way. Just try it yourself and you’ll never ever think about going to another bartender.

“we checked into the emily hotel late at night and was pleasantly surprised to learn there was a bar on the rooftop.”

we checked into the emily hotel late at night and was pleasantly surprised to learn there was a bar on the rooftop. the hotel even gave us a voucher for free tacos, so of course we had to check it out. it was super packed but we were able to grab a table for two. the view is pretty impressive for how far it is from downtown. my partner + i ordered the chips and three dips, carnitas tacos and buffalo chicken tacos. the cape berry salsa and guac was INCREDIBLE. the red salsa was meh, i think the chef needs to rework it because it looked and tasted like jarred tomato sauce. tacos were all delicious and a good portion. their cocktails are pretty impressive. i enjoyed the ekto kooler (subtle licorice flavor) and smoke show. our waiter was super friendly and took good care of us. he made great recommendations and made us feel welcomed our first night in chicago. if it weren't for the red salsa, i would of given this spot five stars :)
