The bartenders are horrible, drinks are overpriced, and seems the management and the staff a few years back that made this place rock are gone... What a waste

I was excited when this place first opened in my neighborhood (South Loop) because there aren't many trendy nightlife options around there, and I was a bit dissapointed when Tantrum wasn't the crazy nightlife scene I had envisioned it to be. However, I came to like how the place ended up being. It's a small cozy little place to grab a drink before you're headed somewhere or after you've come from someplace. Definitely don't expect this place to be a seen-and-be-seen spot- I guess that was never their intention. Basically, Tantrum still retains a hip atmosphere without trying too hard. It's actually a nice, chill alternative to the sweaty, over-crowded bump n'grind lounges and clubs that most places turn out to be. I'm not a huge martini fan, but I tried a couple and they're pretty good.
Pros: Lounge-like, laidback atmosphere
Cons: Not a lot of people

Under new management - socially intolerant and unable to equitably resolve minor conflicts. Will never return. Too bad too... this used to be one of my favorite martini bars in the south loop

It's dark, the music is not too loud, prices are great, and the service was quick and friendly. It isn't a place to stay all night, but it's a great place to go before or after hitting the regular night spots. I really enjoy it evertime I go there.
Pros: Great drinks, not very expensive, very comfortable
Cons: no table service

Tantrum is a good choice when heading out for a night in Chicago. The location can be a bit dicey. But plenty of street parking, no cover and strong drinks make this place a good choice. You can hit Tantrum for a few drinks before heading out to the clubs and more expensive places.
Pros: Strong drinks., Good value.

This place has amazing martini's and is one of the few places in Chicago where you can sit and have an amazing drink and actually talk to the people around you without a mass of bodies or thumping bass. Loved it!
Pros: menu of martinis, comfortable seating, cool atmosphere

More than once I saw the bartender stop in the middle of making a drink and answer his cell phone. I even saw this once while he was in the middle of shaking a martini... isnt going to a bar, about getting good service? I was disappointed, otherwise, a great space and good drinks...

i had their "special" martini here. the editors of citysearch got this one wrong (although they're usually on). This place is not worth it at all. There are far better martinis to be found in Chicago

Walk through the door with friends, obtain some readily available comfortable real-estate, LAUGH at your buddy who couldnt figure out which restroom was the mens, immediatley receive your perfectly made mixed DRINK, sit back, relax and take a LOOK at the cool, friendly people surrounding you, lastly give a COMPLIMENT to the gorgeous bartender who always takes the time to properly chill all martini glasses before pouring in the ingrediants. WELL DONE TANTRUM
