What People Are Saying About Spoon

The Owner

Spoon

Owner

Spoon is a high energy lounge located in the heart of Oldtown. We are focused on delivering unparallel service, great music, and an amazing night out. Live DJs including DJ Flipside and DJ speed pump out hip hop/pop mashups in our intimate setting. Summer is here and our outdoor patio is the perfect place for sipping on vodka lemonades, Margaritas (on tap!!!!), or just chillin out with a 40. Both a destination spot and neighborhood hang, Spoon is an institution in Chicago Nightlife. Bottle service is always available and sunday night is industry night! Plan your next party here and we promise you a night you won't forget....or maybe you will!!!

The Scene
Understated style in the form of masculine brown lounge-seating, burnt orange throw-pillows, large swaths of exposed brick and soaring vaulted ceilings dresses up the lofted space. A mirror-backed bar features customized bottle shelving and modern chrome-accented stools where a 20-something crowd sips cocktails. The spacious loft area provides great vantage points, another smaller bar and booths and tables for cocktail service.

The Draw
The well-liked martini list features favorites like the Barely Legal made with Ketel One Citroen, pineapple juice and peach and sour apple liqueurs garnished with a floating edible orchid, among other sweet concoctions. Bottle service is a pricier option, but just as popular on weekends for those who want table service. A smart menu features regional comfort food dishes such as the popular Philly cheese steak with onion bread pudding or Cajun spiced sweet potato fries served with horseradish crema.

All I have to say is WOW! This is everything I have been looking for in a bar! I was taken care of from the moment I walked through the door. It wasn't the typical nightclub with one demographic of people listening to one type of music. They would be playing John Mellencamp then follow it up with a techno song followed by Will Smith. The crowd was very diverse and mature. Just a big group of people out looking to enjoy themselves (with no stupid stuff going on). The Manager is AWESOME! He found out it was my friend's birth day and gave him a free shot. I feel like I'm rambling now, I just wanted to show my appreciation to Spoon for making last Friday ROCK! Thanks

My buddy told me to go online and check out the pictures of this bar he wanted to go to that night. So I went to the address he emailed (sorry I don’t remember what it was) and this place looked pretty cool. I ended up going and had the best time of my life. I usually never write reviews but if I would not have gone out that Friday I would have never met my girlfriend Nicole. Happy Anniversary Sweety!

The Details on Spoon

Look Good:

For a neighborhood nightspot, the club is on the dressier side; too casual gear is frowned upon, and tennis shoes and sports attire are outright banned. Jeans with something black is the uniform.

The Extras:

A capable sound system delivers crisp highs and rich lows perfect for conversation, while the half-dozen plasmas show sports and video montages if talking isn't your thing.

Where to Sit:

The patio doubles the sitting space, making for a location for pleasant-weather weekend people-watching.
