The Alderman

Cocktail bar · Pilsen

"The Alderman is not a great place to voice your zoning complaints (though perhaps the nice bartender would be open to that conversation), but you can get great cocktails. Located behind an easily locatable door in Pilsen Yards, it may not be particularly hidden but it still carries the spirit of a speakeasy. It’s dark and intimate with only 16 seats, and though you can walk in, we recommend placing a reservation. All of the drinks are fantastic, with a rotating selection of cocktails like the Sichuan Panda made with baijiu, sesame oil, and peppercorn, or the Blind Luck with gin and chai vermouth." - adrian kane, john ringor
