Wil’s Martini Lounge

Wow, this place was fun. Marty's was my go-to martini bar and when it closed, I was bummed... Wil's is great bc they deliver on the well crafted martini and the service staff is very attentive. The decor inside is fun too! Side note: I felt flattered here because several guys were flirting with me and I definitely flirted back because.. Why not?! Someone even kissed my hand. Lol. Don't be afraid to just grab a martini on your own because the gay men of Chicago will welcome you with open arms. 💙

Great new martini bar. Arrived around 530 so the crowd was just right for us. We were able to find seats at the bar and have an actual conversation between us and with the bartender too, Zeke I believe. He made great drinks. I had a gin martini and the hubby had the razzle dazzle, which he really liked. The space is really classy too! Definitely will return!

A great Uptown/Edgewater crowd. Many walks, many flavors. Bartending staff are convivial and good at their craft. The decor is classic and cozy for a true martini lounge. I cannot wait till the adjacent space opens because the neighborhood is showing, through its patronage here, that a bigger lounge is warranted!

This place is beautiful, the staff friendly and fast, and the drinks delicious and strong! I had a Gibson (gin and cocktail onions), which very few places make- it was perfect. This is a great addition to Andersonville and it’s an instant classic.

I recently visited Will’s Martini Bar in Andersonville, and I’m already planning my next trip back! The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed — the perfect mix for a night out. My waiter, Connor, absolutely made the experience. He was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. He recommended the Chilly Willy, and wow — it was one of the best martinis I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, crisp, and dangerously smooth! Between the great service, creative cocktails, and welcoming vibe, Will’s is definitely my new go-to spot in the neighborhood. If you’re in Andersonville and love a good martini, do yourself a favor and check this place out. I’d go back to Will’s in a heartbeat!

My new favorite martini bar! With the closing of another prominent martini lounge in Andersonville, there was a clear dearth in comparable options for the neighborhood. Thankfully, Wil’s meets and exceeds all expectations! The martinis are delicious, the service is impeccable, and the space is beautifully decorated yet inviting and cozy. I was there last night with friends and I was so impressed by the entire experience that I stayed for multiple martinis. Those were the best drinks that I’ve had in a very long time. My best advice is to get there early to get a table because it is a popular spot (and rightfully so)!

Finally got a table at Wil’s Martini Lounge and it was worth the wait! The new space is beautifully designed, intimate, stylish, and perfect for catching up over cocktails. I’m looking forward to their expansion since it’s been standing room only the last few times I’ve tried to stop in (not ideal for balancing a martini!). Our server, Conner, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks coming. So glad to have a new neighborhood spot with great drinks, great service, and great vibes!

I had the opportunity to visit Wil’s Martini Lounge on opening night and again shortly after, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Wil and his partner have created something truly special here, and it’s clear how much heart went into bringing this lounge to life. It was great to see so many familiar faces behind the bar, including Connor and James, who made the experience even better with their energy and hospitality. The atmosphere is incredible—stylish yet welcoming—and the martinis are top-notch. I’m so glad to have a new go-to spot in the neighborhood. If you’re looking for expertly made martinis in a friendly, inviting space, I can’t recommend Wil’s Martini Lounge enough!
