Chicago’s Best Cocktail Bars, Mapped - Eater Chicago
"A large array of mezcal and mezcal cocktails are the draw at this dim subterranean spot underneath acclaimed Logan Square Mexican restaurant Quiote. The man behind shuttered Mezcaleria Las Flores and former Rick Bayless beverage director brings his expertise here, resulting in perhaps the best Chicago bar to taste a variety of spirits from south of the border." - Daniel Gerzina, Ashok Selvam

Easily the best selection of agave spirits in the city. If you need a little help navigating the options, the friendly and highly knowledgeable staff can provide guidance. Pro tip: the entrance to the bar is BEHIND Quiote, not INSIDE Quiote. Look for the taco truck, and there’s a staircase leading down to the bar.

Great, friendly staff. Really nice combination of a sit-down space inside with a fun yet quaint picnic table setup outside. Good tacos, and enjoyable mezcal drinks.

Great, as per usual. I've been a number of times and I just keep coming back. The staff is amazing, the food is delicious, the beverages are complex and interesting, the music is always at an appropriate level and somehow always so fitting...
I don't know how they do it but I hope they keep doing it.
