Barber shop by day, '70s-themed cocktail lounge by night
"This Fulton Market spot functions as an actual barbershop in the day, but at night, one of the doors in the shop opens up to reveal a funky cocktail lounge. And though it’s not too big and there’s no official dancefloor, the combination of flashing lights, disco balls, and live DJ sets will encourage everyone to let loose. They have a wide selection of cocktails and highballs if you’re just stopping by for a couple of drinks, but feel free to reserve a table and order some bottles if you’re here with a larger group and want more of a club experience." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"During the day, Blind Barber operates as an actual barbershop. But at night, one of the doors inside opens up to reveal a cocktail lounge. And though there’s no official dance floor, the flashing lights, disco balls, and live DJ sets make it one of the city’s best bars for dancing. If you’re just stopping by for a couple of drinks, there’s a wide selection of cocktails and highballs. You can also reserve a table and order some bottles if you’re here with a larger group and want more of a club experience." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane

"New York and Los Angeles export the Blind Barber hit Chicago in 2017, introducing the city to an unlikely, and seemingly dangerous, duo of haircuts and booze. Push past the white-washed salon room to find a retro cocktail lounge serving a bevy of blended beverages, plus a short list of spirit-friendly snacks." - Ashok Selvam
"This West Loop spot is a barbershop in the daytime, but at night, Blind Barber turns into a bar. And this year, this bar/barbershop hybrid has an outdoor patio so you (and your great haircut) can drink outside." - adrian kane
