Best Friday Night in Chcago

by Infinity

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

• Pros: Great-Service-Great Music-Good Looking People
• Cons: Got Real Crowded After Midnight

Best Service EVER!!!

by InfiniteJ

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!

• Pros: Friendly Staff - Awesome Crowd
• Cons: Men's bathroom was kinda small

Best Party Room Ever!!

by abba1

Had a birthday party here last Friday and it was awesome! We had the entire upstiars loft area to ourselves from 9-12. We met Tlyer the manger who could not have been funnier(guy w mustache). My friends were hesitant at first about having it at Spoon because it usually gets so packed. We had plenty of room up there to do whatever we wanted. Usually bars will charge a fee upfront for the party room space, but not here. We would be crazy not to have all our parties at Spoon.

• Pros: Fantastic Party Room
• Cons: Can get crowded the later it gets

Great Party Room

by culli

I was recommended Spoon by a friend of mine who had a party there. It more than lived up to our expectations. We had 2 personal bartenders solely for our party! Music was great, stiff drinks and freindly staff. What a memorable experince, would recommend to anyone looking for a private party room.

• Pros: Great professional staff
• Cons: Crowded

Bad staff!!!

by chigirl24

I threw a birthday party here and it was the biggest mistake ever. I had five friends verbal/sexually assaulted by the bouncer with the mohawk from tinley park at the bar the night of my party. When a complain with the manager was made the manager responsed with "what do you want me to do." This is not appropriate at all, nor is it a response that a manager should provide. I brought over 30 people that night, and am in shock at how they were treated. All of them complained about being asked to pay extra for certain bottle beers, even though the package I had included all bottle beers. I am highly disappointed and will never be returning.

Fun, Trendy atmosphere: Friendly staff & stiff drinks!!

by hopu

When my friends and I were invited to a party at Spoon last weekend, we did not know what to expect. It had been over a year since our last time there, and I have to say : I was pleasantly suprised. The crowd was attractive, the drinks were strong, and the staff were extremely hospitable. I would definately reccommend this upbeat lounge to anyone in search of a good time! I will be the first one in line when they open the outdoor patio this summer. A+

• Pros: Service, scene, drinks

Had a blast!!!

by david828

Sat afternoon I went to the best party in Old Town. My friends and I were hanging out at the Old Town Art Fest and walked by a kick butt party. We deceided to check it out and the next thing I knew it was dark. The patio was decorated in a luau theme and they had pitchers of vodka lemonades and mojitos. We just sat at a table and the next thing we knew we had lots of new friends and even tossed a few games of Bago. As always I had a blast at Spoon.

• Pros: excellent service and staff
• Cons: none

Have your party at Spoon!!!!

by jessica121

I planned my friends birthday party at Spoon a few saturdays ago and had a awesome time. We had the upstiars to ourselves until midnight so we were able to catch up with friends and enjoy the excellent DJ. The service from the whole staff and the bartenders upstairs was great. Spoon has a really nice crowd and a fun atmoshere. You should check it out!!!

• Pros: great drinks, excellent DJ, hot staff

Spoon Needs To Come Down To Earth

by mmcdonough5

My friends and I walked up at 1:30am on a sat without a single person in line or in the bar. The doorman wouldn't let any of us in unless we paid a measly $5.00. The pathetic attempt at a cover charge would have been more tolerable if they made it $10 or $15 dollars since Spoon is no where near a bar that actually has a following or any clout in Chicago nightlife. After being happily admitted into clubs like Reserve and Rino on the same night for no charge at all, our "neighborhood" bar obviously had a case of a big ego that was completely undeserved. I'll never go back and neither should you.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Pretensious, Rude, Empty
