Tantrum

Great spot. Very quiet on Wednesdays, great for date night or meetup. Expensive drinks or bartender included gratuity on the tab. Very cozy lounge with great decor

Great for young people, the music was a little slow at first but got way better.. everyone there was friendly. My only complaint is the drinks we received. I’m pretty sure our second round of drinks were made with clear liquor, when we requested Crown & lemonade. It tasted totally different from the first drink (which was crown & lemonade as well).. it was light in color and I know what crown taste like 🤷🏾‍♀️

I went there for the first time for my cousin birthday outing and I truly enjoyed myself!!!!! I would have given it 5 stars but this place is small with no dance floor really. Will go back again for sure. Nice mixture of music and people just having a good time with no drama. Laid back and nice vibe. Good for date nights or ladies night!

Tried it out for a Saturday night. The place was packed with what seemed to be locals. Video screens along the bar to go with the DJ beats. Mostly strip club music complimented by the videos on the screen. Overall, a cool place to chill. Small and tight with a "shotgun" layout, no dance floor.

Im trying to find a reason to give this place 3 stars given how many times I've frequented it. But my frequency is largely due to where its located and its the closest bar in the area where I know I can find black people. Place is super small and has a tendency to get crowded. Drinks are little bit pricey and I agree with the consensus, the bartenders do as little as possible to make conversation. I try to also go on nights when one of my friends are DJiing therefore I can just stand in that area and listen to good music. Besides that I rather just go to the 40 other places in the South Loop where I can feel relaxed while having my drink.

South Loop Hot Spot Tantrum is one of my favorite bars in the South Loop. Great crowd, laid-back atmosphere, good live DJ, dimly lit, and friendly bartenders. I wish they'd make their own sour mix, oh well, you can't have everything... I had a nice cognac with my cousin the last time I was there and hope to visit again soon.

The drink was cut...definitely wasn’t Patron. When I asked the bartender about the drink, she openly admitted she just pours the bottle but as been told the drink aren’t right several times. The bartender also stated they did not have a manager lol. Ok, good music. But now I have a headache from knock off Patron/tequila. Bottom line, I’m visiting from out of state and will never go back.

Sunday night in this space is the place to be. It’s a recreated space for women of color who also identify as queer and/or lesbians. As a man it was noted that I was a “guest” to the women in the room, and I respect that. Thanks for creating a space where queer people of color can be respected, honored, and loved. My best friend and I had total blast.
