After in West Loop Chicago is the cocktail bar from the team behind Michelin-starred Ever, serving some of the most delicious cocktails in the city. 😋 What I ordered: * 24K Espresso Martini * Madame Blueberry * Snaquiri * Cream Crush * Rêve Fries * Chicago Popcorn * Rêve Burger * Wagyu Short Ribs * Pot de Crème 💵 $270 💭 Thoughts:
The vibes were amazing with upbeat pop music, dim lighting, and an elegant upscale bar atmosphere. 9/10. Service was great. Our server checked in at the right times to order more drinks, clear plates, and keep everything moving smoothly. 9/10. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. The 24K Espresso Martini (8.8/10) was a classic espresso martini with great foam and a slightly sweeter finish. The Madame Blueberry (9/10) had a delicious vanilla blueberry flavor. The Snaquiri (9/10) drank more like a sweet cocktail than a typical shot, and the Cream Crush (9.5/10) was creamy, citrusy, and one of my favorites. The Rêve Fries (7.5/10) were super addicting with sweet seasoned salt and a chipotle aioli. The Chicago Popcorn (7/10) had stale cheddar popcorn, but the miso caramel popcorn was great. Crispy, perfectly balanced, and honestly better than Garrett's caramel popcorn. The Rêve Burger (7.5/10) was a solid classic burger with melted American cheese and pickles. Nothing groundbreaking, but executed well. The Wagyu Short Ribs (8.5/10) were super tender with creamy mashed potatoes, rich sauce, and a nice crunchy topping. The Pot de Crème (9.5/10) completely exceeded my expectations. Between the espresso ice cream, genmai crunch, tea mousse, and chocolate mousse, it tasted like a chocolate milk tea with tons of different textures. Overall, the amazing cocktails, great food, and luxurious vibes make this one of my favorite cocktail bars in the city! 📍 1340 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60607 ✨Recs: Cream Crush, Madame Blueberry, Pot de Crème, Wagyu Short Ribs #chicagotiktok #chicagolife #chicagofood #chicagorestaurants #chicago
