The Walk In

Raise a Toast to Bartenders With Tequila Cocktails at These Chicago Bars | Eater

"Gritty and soulful, The Walk In is a toe-tapping cocktail lounge dedicated to ’60s and ’70s rock. Step through Red Star Liquor Store’s walk-in cooler (yes, it’s as cool as it sounds) for a night of expertly shaken or stirred drinks in a vibey, industrial setting. The cocktail menu is large: You’ll find the classics and seasonal options, along with a very wallet-friendly happy hour. Order your Lucy’s Explanation with Teremana for a warm and fruity sipper, or go hot and sweet with Chaotic Bliss, a mix of tequila, habanero honey, and cinnamon tincture. Whether you prefer to park it on the patio, hang out for trivia, or dance to live tunes, The Walk In is a neighborhood joint you’ll want to return to again and again this holiday season." - Ariel Kanter
