Alma

Loved, loved the terrace and the whole decor in the place - elegant yet understated. If you are a Cub’s fan you have the perfect view. The cocktails were nice, with good mixology. We enjoyed the falafel sliders and the charcuterie board because we were hungry. It was weird, we order a couple of other things but our server came back saying that were not available, getting their food from another place??? Service was mediocre, our server did not have much knowledge about the menu or their availability, and prices are high. I would go back for cocktails on the terrace. Perhaps if they serve High-Tea I will check it out, since I heard good things about the experience.

We booked the Love Alma Globe express for Valentines. Overall it was a cute experience but the place is over expensive. We liked the decor inside the globe, there was a Polaroid camera where you can click uptown 10 pictures, choose music of your choice. Got complementary glass of Sparkling Wine and some dessert. You can do valet parking for just $8. Food was average, hummus plate and artichoke dip were good but chicken skewers dish was a little dry.

4pm 1.13.2024 Always a great treat in our own back yard! Tonight was a bit different than the previous four times we’ve stopped by. Our regular bartender wasn’t there and they seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed in the beginning with one bartender and one bar-back. I ordered our favs Cosmopolitans and Feta fries. The fries were epic to the last bite. We loved the cosmos so much, per usual, so we ordered them again and never got them… so we eventually just closed our tab. We also had sports on every tv and when we asked for a change to one tv, we soon realized that’s not much of an option. Sports only, at all times period! Seems a bit restrictive but oh well, must be a sports bar! Wanted to play some pool but lost the opening, next time!

Went for buffet breakfast. Staff and wait service were nice and pleasant; breakfast buffet was not. Spent $26 per person for a buffet of poorly prepared standard dishes like lukewarm scrambled eggs, overly done potatoes, barely done sausage links... well you get the picture. Absolutely no creativity of dishes for your $26. Instead, have a cup of coffee or juice or any type of your favorite morning beverage and use that saved $26 for a good brunch!

This is my favorite place to grab a delicious beverage while letting the crowds disperse after attending a Cubs game. However, last night was just bad. I brought my group of 9, boasting of how wonderful it would be, and I walked out embarrassed for having brought them there. The cocktails were delicious, no doubt about that. While I realize it was a busy time, things could have been handled better by our waitress. She greeted us with a less-than-thrilled attitude upon arrival at our table. The wait to get the cocktails, understandable. But we ordered arancini, and it took our server 25 minutes to tell us it was 86'd, and by then, the kitchen was closed. It took at least 15 minutes for us to get the bill/our credit cards back; I had to flag down another employee to assist with that. When our server came back, she "jokingly" blamed the wait time on us for having 3 separate tabs, which she claims caused the computer to malfunction. I picked up the larger portion of our bill but was not provided an itemized receipt. Since my other two guests DID receive an itemized bill (which I later received after pushing back), I can only assume she wanted to hide from me the fact that 20% gratuity was already added. The cherry on top was that, when we were walking out, we exchanged "thank you's" with the server while she was at another table of about 8 patrons, and she repeated to them the nonsense about us being the cause for her computer breaking (I'm assuming it was her way of trying to save face for offering poor service to that table as well). She shamed us in front of another table of patrons. I have never..

Hotel Zachary hosted us for a private event here and the space was immaculate. I didn’t get the chance to eat and drink as I was just stopping through briefly but I’ll drop in sometime and edit my review to include the food and drinks. Going purely off of the ambiance, overall aesthetic, the cordial staff and what I’ve been hearing about their specialty drinks and charcuterie boards, I’d say give this spot a try for sure.

Two reviews in one! Alma at night for cocktails and appetizers. Very cool bar set up and a cozy vibe. Cocktails were delish - love the Z stamped cube in the Old Fashioned - a bit high on the price for that one but the other mixed drinks (including the beautiful whiskey sour in the pictures) were priced fairly for the downtown area. The Arancini appetizer was really tasty - highly recommend! The feta fries have some kick so be aware. Alma for breakfast - great little buffet. Sausage and eggs were super well done. Fresh and delish coffee and wonderful juices. Great server as well - very friendly and accommodated our request to sit outside on the deck - what a view! We really enjoyed this "upscale" gem in the heart of Wrigleyville.

Absolutely beautiful cocktail lounge. Located on the second floor with a killer view of Wrigley. Tons of different cocktails and delicious food. Great place to go when you are looking for something different than another sports bar. Its worth going in just to see how pretty it is.
