Great place! Service is great! The cocktails are delicious! Hoar's Frost is perfect refreshment for a hot summer day. They also have a lot of old whisky 's if you like that.

PUNCH

Billy Sunday is a sanctuary for bitters lovers, with a vast collection of vintage and modern amari . If you can decipher terms like wormwood, gentian, Fernet or kola nut , you’re in the right place. Read more

This quiet escape might be known for cocktails , but the small plates menu is worth a trip for dinner . Finish it off with an indulgent Baked Alaska , with luxardo cherries and dark chocolate . Read more

Step back in time to this old school cocktail lounge in Logan Square. I like this place on the weekends. Beverage with terrific food menu choices. Outdoor patio too!

Shannon Hallowell

Great craft cocktails ! Love the bartenders and the atmosphere. Very dark/ romantic/ classic. They have customs tonics on draft that are amazing. Great old fashioneds and Manhattans .

It's A Major Plus

My tip is this: ASK about ANY ingredient on the cocktail list . Start a conversation. EVERYTHING's exceptional so find what you like & GO FOR IT. Fried green tomatoes salad this spring which is perfect

Dana Tedesco

Everything "In a Jar" was great! Roasted Tomatoes , Chicken Liver Pâté , but best was Brandade (smoked Whitefish ) w/ fried capers & pickled pistachios . Ran out of á la carte bread for the spreading, tho

Seth Putnam

You get what you pay for here: great presentation of well-crafted drinks. Plus, the name is a cheeky homage to the famous Prohibitionist preacher.

Jaye Jalso

The small plates are amazing. The items in a jar are tasty. Drinks inventive and balanced. Haven't made it to the bar , but servers were friendly and well informed.

Redeye Chicago

Billy Sunday is famous for their cocktails using homemade tonic. It's easy to forget that they offer food as well . So make sure to try their small plates and get the baked alaska for dessert . Read more

This is my favorite cocktail bar in the city . Draft tonics are delicious, staff is super knowledgeable and fun. Atmosphere is great.

Bobby Kennedy

Delicious inventive cocktails and interesting snacks in dark ornate environs. The meat and cheese boards are also amazing.

Time Out Chicago

The victorian cocktail at Billy Sunday is one of the 100 best things we drank this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk

The manager/guy who runs the 'wait list' is simply the best. Always extremely nice and honest about wait times. Great service all around.

Serious Eats

The drinks using house-made tonic are the main draw, but all the offering at this cocktail destination are worth ordering.

Jenna Kowalczyk

Bartender 's are extremely friendly & helpful. Check out their website for an up to date drink/food menu. Very cozy & great atmosphere.

Amy Lebowsky

Dark and dreamy. Design girl heaven. Olive/tomato/thyme popcorn blew my mind. The house bottled cocktails were perfect!

Mark Gill

Rabbit pot pie is amaze-balls. I want it in a deli to go, everyday for lunch for the rest of the cold season. Also, chicken liver in a jar is outstanding!

Peter S

Very good, small selection of food. Outdoor patio seats about 20 and fills fast on nice days. Drinks are amazing, try their Negroni .

Zeke Franco

The largest collection of Amari in the United States . Make sure to try a vintage amaro !
