The Ward Room at Sushi Hall

Ward Room door locked during open hours, could not get in

Hands down the best cocktail bar in Lincoln Park! Amazing staff, great drinks and such a cool atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Ambience was very cool. Speak easy entrance is fun. Drinks and the sushi were amazing. Staff was so friendly and attentive.

a 3.5 if i could give half stars. this was a fun little find, always cool to have cool cocktails bars closer to home in LP/Lakeview, and was a great soot to have a few cocktails while waiting for friends before Hot Pot across the street. however the ambience i felt could have used some more cozy atmosphere for a “speakeasy” behind the kitchen of the sushi restaurant. felt a bit barren and the giant TV on the wall (thankfully no live tv and was just on painting/frame mode) kinda brought down the potentially cool mood. the lighting was too bright though one of the bartenders did turn it down after a while. the saffron cocktail i got was pretty tasty and interesting though. i’d definitely stop in for some more drinks and would definitely be into getting some bites. so rating might improve for sure, there is potential.
