Editorial Review for Rockwell Lounge – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
The old Narcisse space has gone all dark slate, moody blues and sheet metal. The front area houses a cordoned-off seating area while the bar sports two stripper poles and a catwalk for drink-ordering entertainment. Downstairs features much of the same paired-down and muted cool-tone decor, with more modular seating and an additional, pole-free bar. The crowd falls somewhere between those who frequent the neighborhood's ultra-lounges and folks who appreciate Chicago's grittier rock joints.

Insider Tips
ParkingValet is a good option, but so is the adjacent pay-lot. Street parkers will be rewarded (eventually) for their patience.
The ExtrasThe bar adds a significant measure of rock and electro-rock to their musical lineup, including some local and regional stuff and the occasional live act. Bravo.
Know Before You GoTight quarters; the lounge holds 175---upstairs and down. Come early to avoid the crush at the door.
User Reviews for Rockwell Lounge

Was the worst experience I have ever had. No staff knew what they were doing and there wasn't even that many people there. The owner, small women, was extremely rude and did not know how to speak to people. Will never go there again and would recommend that no one wastes there time there, there are so many better places in the area.
Cons: people working there
