"Best known as the original maker and home of Jeppson’s Malört, the distillery once produced the famously bitter Chicago spirit on‑site before moving production to a larger Pilsen facility as demand grew. The location has become a pilgrimage spot for Malört aficionados and has surprised many visitors by offering high-end sushi and omakase. After pandemic pivots that introduced sushi under a different name, the owners reimagined the space following the founders’ departures, adding a kitchen for yakitori and donburi, expanding vegetable options, redecorating with a Tokyo‑inspired feel, and positioning the venue as more than just a bar." - Ashok Selvam
"You can get all sorts of cocktails delivered from CH - including things you haven’t ordered since you were on spring break (like a Sex On The Beach). Also interesting, they’re donating bottles of Malort hand sanitizer to local hospitals, which is definitely the best use of Malort. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Toast to a great trip with a drink at CH Distillery (makers of Jeppson’s Malört)." - Samantha Nelson
"Nisei bartender Val Capone helped usher in the bar’s own candy cane Malört in 2016 — before CH Distillery purchased the Jeppson’s Malört brand two years later." - Ashok Selvam
"Next week, CH Bar & Table, the West Loop bar from the distillery that manufactures Chicago’s gift to bolstering friendship, will begin to pour a limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Jeppson’s Malört shot. Just in time for Spooky Season, the shot will be offered starting on Tuesday, October 3, at CH, near the corner of Randolph and Jefferson." - Ashok Selvam
