Great atmosphere , bar tenders are chill. Located in the kimpton. There was a crazed expo woman that kept berating her fellow employees, but perhaps it's a Chicago thing . Anyways drinks were good, we got the doctors order (tastes like a a strong mai tai) and 18th and Ashland . Would recommend both. Dark atmosphere, very date night vibes. My favorite bar in Chicago for now (better than kumiko)

Nice cocktail bar in the heart of the loop, located on the second floor of a hotel. Unfortunately the ambiance here isn't anything to brag about, a library feel in a very small space overlooking the loop. But the cocktails were well made and they have some that benefit local charities which is nice. If you are in the loop not a bad place to grab a cocktail, but wouldn't call this a destination bar by any means.

Some of the best drinks I've had in the United States. Clarified punches are difficult to perfect, and this bar offers two. Side note: Jordan and Matt are both amazing.

This place is such a vibe! The location is great, the ambience is relaxing, and everything about this place screams style/luxury from the moment you walk in. My fiancé and I enjoyed drinks served by Matt- they were made so well! Totally worth visiting this place- it’s tucked away on the second floor (use the door left of the Starbucks entrance). 100/10 recommend- will be revisiting with friends and family!

Well crafted cocktails in a very cool setting. Service was great and the vibe was awesome. It does seem like they accept reservations for couches and tables near the windows so keep that in mind. Plenty of cocktails to choose from , I went with a Boulevardair and it was on point.

Very good atmosphere. The drinks are specialized cocktails. Plush couches and comfortable chairs make this a cozy place. The staff is attentive and very professional. I went twice during my visit in Chicago and on a weekday it feels like a busy happy hour. On Saturdays the environment feels more intimate. There was live music that was very entertaining but not so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. I'd highly recommend this place. The name and theme is played up at every opportunity

Well definitely a hidden Gem , located in the financial district is not your regular party side of town , however is definitely worth going there Before continuing please if you go there get the “Puerto Escondido “ cocktail before the change the menu (they do every season). Place is very elegant and relax the bar tender very attentive and knowledgeable usually there are two bartenders running the show. Is a nice place to relax and just have a quite conversation, no need to scream your lungs out so the other person can hear you. I have gone to “The Office” an extension of the aviary and let me tell you the office was 5 times more expensive and 10 times worst in drink quality so yes Volume 39 is the spot for a quite and relaxing night . If you got this far let me give you another drink to try The Quince Revolution a very fragrant and sweet drink almost like drinking roses , is strong and sweet. But in reality they are known for their old fashions so definitely give those a try This is my new chill spot for sure ! My congratulations to the bartenders they are really changing the way drinks are made !

I am very glad that I Randomly found this establishment! Beverage menu, as well as the food menu reads so beautifully. I’m actually looking forward to returning to try the food. The interior design is as wonderful as the service. Brandon really made me feel welcome. I’m sure it is not a hidden gem, but it is a definite Chicago spot worth checking out!

Incredibly decorated with a modern masculine feel 1 clean and uncluttered. All of the staff seem to work as a team and any will take your request. More than just drinks at this place! We had the Brandy Old Fashioned and the Yatch Club. But were what you expect from a highly rated Chicago cocktail house. Definitely a place to return and will bring friends.

This cocktail lounge feels like a hidden gem in the Chicago loop! Located on the second floor, it's a low-key spot with a really unique cocktail menu that's been crafted by the bartending team. I came in to celebrate a friend's birthday and we all enjoyed the unique drinks we ordered. The only thing I found lacking was in the snacks & food menu where there weren't too many vegetarian friendly options to fill up on - had to settle for a cheese plate and a tomato tartar dish. I hope to see the menu expand a bit in the future to cater better to dietary restrictions.

One of the best drink places my fiancée and I have visited in a very long time! I would highly recommend this hidden gem in Chicago to anyone that is visiting and to locals as well. We got to meet the owner Matt during our visit who made sure our visit wasn't anything other then perfect.

Fantastic bar inside a beautiful classic Chicago building (that used to be a bank). Music is just loud enough to provide backgound atmosphere without interfering with normal conversation. The drink menu is well developed, diverse and sophisticated.

This is a little gem. Well balanced and unique drinks. If you try something new and it’s not your style, they’ll make it right. I liked how quiet it was and the attention that the server gave us. Would recommend.

Volume 39 makes the best cocktails I have probably ever had in my entire life, and I have traveled quite extensively and sampled many a drinks. I stayed at the Kimpton hotel this bar resides in so night one I decided to go and sample their Sazerac. This can be a sometimes difficult drink to make, but Volume 39 handled it with ease and produced the best Sazerac I have ever had, hands down. I decided to go back the next night to end the night off right with their $35 old fashioned, I figured you only live once. Wow. 30 year old Armagnac, barrel aged sugar, bitters. This was the smoothest and most amazing drink I have ever had. The even brought out the drink in a flask inside a book. The environment is one of a speakeasy of sorts with volumes and volumes of law books around the walls. The staff was friendly and made great conversation. If I lived in Chicago I could see myself visiting this spot weekly.

Really great cocktails that are unique and tug on the heartstrings with the “nostalgia” angle. I had one that reminded me of an Elote and it was excellent.
