Nightcap

Nightcap is the newest speakeasy on the block and a perfect spot for a date night. We came here not expecting much and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of drinks and thought put into a unique bar menu. My favorite was the TV Munson, a unique take on an old fashioned, followed by the O.W.T! Prices were on the higher side for their signature cocktails but are backed up by the quality of the drinks, and they have a unique house cocktail list as well which is more cost friendly. The space itself is small and intimate, reservations recommended. We're excited to come back once they've set up a small bites menu, which the bartender mentioned is a work in progress. Definitely make plans to check this place out.

Overpriced/lacks the ambiance — its a tight space and tables are very close to each other. Drinks are very good, but they do seem overpriced (even though they do seem to use top shelf) and the menu is pretty limited. There are far better cocktails bars in the neighborhood and the city for a better value and experience

very cool experience!! our bartender issac was great and very informative

We went with a small group and were able to try out quite a few of the cocktails on the menu. I was impressed by the breadth of unique flavors and presentations, particularly a savory one made with pho broth. The staff were extremely friendly and engaging; the ambiance was hard to beat. Nightcap is definitely one of the great cocktail spots in town!

Every drink is a work of art — not just in taste, but in presentation. These aren't your typical cocktails, they're experiences. You can tell there’s real passion and creativity behind the menu — nothing feels basic or thrown together. It’s playful, elevated, and full of surprises. I’ve honestly never had so much fun ordering drinks. If you’re looking for a night out that’s memorable, unique, and packed with flavor and flair — this is it. Go now before the secret gets out!

Chicago’s best kept ”secret”. A great way to wrap up a great meal and have some interesting conversations. The offerings are top shelf and the service is excellent. I’ll be back!!

A hidden gem with serious style and soul. Nightcap is everything you want in a speakeasy, intimate, moody, and effortlessly cool. Tucked away behind Class Act, it feels like you've been let in on a secret. The ambiance is sultry and sophisticated, with low lighting, modern touches, and music that sets the perfect vibe without overpowering the room. The cocktails? Next-level. Thoughtfully crafted, beautifully balanced, and served with flair. The bartenders here are true artists who know their craft. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger, order one more round, and soak in the atmosphere. They even had a cocktail made with Chinese Baijiu and a warm boozy pho cocktail. Perfect for date night, post-dinner drinks, or a stylish night out with friends. Nightcap is a must visit for anyone who appreciates great cocktails and a vibe you won’t find just anywhere in Chicago.

Incredible unique cocktails. Sleek lounge vibes. The TV Munson cocktail where Texas meets France is my favorite. Old fashioned inspired but way more elegant and refined. Champagne carbonated grapes, stunning smoke presentation, and well balanced.

Amazing balance to the cocktails. My first drink damn near mimicked juice which I loved. Had great conversations with both bartenders regarding the inspiration behind the drinks. Theme follows the adjourning restaurant Claaa act. I'm told there will be food in the future but as for now I'd say it's a must try for cocktail snobs
