This spot inside the aviary came highly recommended considering it is part of the Alinea group. Service was quick and we were told we could request for a bartenders choice cocktail if we provided some general guidelines. My first drink was average a

We were lucky enough to be gifted a cocktail experience at The Office (under The Aviary) by close friends and wow, what an incredible gift it turned out to be. From the moment we were led downstairs into the bar, the vibe was effortlessly cool and c

5 Resounding stars for excellent craft cocktails, an intimate setting, the best staff, and inventive bites. I got reservations here for my birthday as I've been to Aviary, but never had a chance to go to the speakeasy-style concept downstairs.

Feels very exclusive! Amazing cocktails, decour and a wide range of liquers. The bartender was excellent and made us a wide range of drinks.
Amazing hidden speakeasy in the basement of the Aviary.
However, there are only about 8-10 spots, so be prepared to wait or be turned away during busy times. Cocktails are high quality, I love the decor and ambiance, and the service is wonderful. Definitely add to your list!
Amazing cocktails and awesome venue.
Only seats about 8-10 people which allows the two servers/bartenders to provide great service, strike up conversations, and listen to what you do or don't like in a cocktail. For my first cocktail, I went with something from the book. It was fi

Service was 5 star ! Mariah the server was just incredible.
Her thorough knowledge of the menu items and the 'special's were great: Tuesday pizza special) What made the service just perfect was her sincere attentiveness to details. Her table service was perfectly timed! The food was fresh, the food

This speakeasy has one of the best liquor collections in Chicago. It's mostly a drinks only cozy limited seating (~5 tables and a few bar seats). Cocktails are reasonably priced given the ambiance at around 20 bucks and are worth the price! The serve
Cool spot for drinks
Cool spot for drinks. The cocktails and spirits are amazing. The bartenders are highly skilled and make the cocktails perfectly.
Amazing cocktails
The cocktails are some of the best. Made with precision. The bartenders are fantastic. The ambiance is really nice and the vibe is great.

Chicago has the best collection of speakeasy's and the office was very high on my list to visit. Decided to try our luck today without a reservation on a Thursday evening and got in with one hour wait time. It has a very cozy ambience with nice chair
I felt very fancy going here.
It was very clean, contemporary-chic; definitely a place to go to celebrate or to have a unique experience with your date. 10 out of 10 hands down pricey but you get what you pay for. When you make reservations you ask your waiter to see the office.

Finally made my way to the office after having been to the aviary a few times. Our server was really nice and welcoming. The menu itself is incredibly impressive and extensive. The ambience was great. It was dark and cozy and I appreciate that capaci
This was a very nice experience! If you're interested in
This was a very nice experience! If you're interested in vintage drinks and paying top dollar for some amazing mixes, you'll love this. If you think of this as an entertaining experience, rather than a night out at a bar, I think you'll set yourself
Great place! Always make it a point to visit when I'm in
Great place! Always make it a point to visit when I'm in town. Huge selection of vintage liquors, and very talented bartender's. Not sure that's the correct definition of them. They're way more talented than any bartender I've met. They mix up s
My partner surprised me with reservations to this place.
Our buddy who used to work at Alinea recommended this spot since this is their speakeasy. Hands down one of the coolest speakeasy I have ever been to. I opted for their whiskey flight and it did not disappoint. The bartenders took their time explaini

I celebrated my birthday at this speakeasy, and it's now my favorite. Securing a reservation can be tricky, but we took a chance on a Sunday night and walked in with friends - luck was on our side with a table for seven. Nestled in the lower level of
Unique cocktail experience with a few hidden gems.
Test your knowledge or experience here. The staff is talented and eager to please. Will come back many more times.
Amazing experience for speakeasy vibes.
BUT IAN... it's ok if our dumplings were forgotten.... Just don't try to play it off after waiting over 60mins for them and tell us "I'm sorry idk what happened". Loved the vibes and drinks, disappointed in the service at the very end of o
Just wow.
Incredible atmosphere, drinks were so creative, and the service was great. Plan ahead - but this is a must try. I'm trying to find an excuse to go again.

We stayed for the Office Hour and added on a few more cocktails and bites. The cocktails were nothing but phenomenal created by an expert staff. The room was small yet dark and cozy filled with art and leather chairs and couches.We began our meal wit
This place was amazing, it truly is a next level bar.
This is no typically place to grab drinks, not only is the ambiance top tier, the drink menu is a cut above the rest. My husband loves bourbon and the waiter really catered to his preferences as they walked through the menu together. I would come bac

Service was very hands off which is unfortunate if it's your first time trying. Also, not good for a date night- seats were far apart and the opposite of romantic. If you're not getting food, we felt they just want to get you out so they can fill you
Drinks here are great.
Very cute vibes. It's intimate cozy hidden gem. The drinks are all great classics. The old fashion was one of my favorites. Service was great experience too.
This is definitely a place coasting on reputation.
There's plenty to like and ultimately I am glad I experienced it-- the uber-exclusivity, the speakeasy vibes, the rare bottles-- all awesome! Not to mention, the drinks were really good!Our server was nice enough but he definitely didn't go above and

This place has the best and coziest vibe! We did the office hour and was a great option for light / unique snacks before or after dinner. All of their drinks are so unique (and very strong in a good way)! Service is so great since it's such an intima

So my dumb ass thought I was going to an Office themed pop up bar - the Office as in the TV show. This was definitely not that but it was amazing.This place is swanky and sexy as f***! I was there with friends but it would be a great date night. All
Great cocktails
Great spirit forward cocktails with an extensive bottle list. Less showing than the Aviary but still great quality. Did not try the small plates.
Connect with users posting reservations for The Office Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Office Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Office Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Office Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Office Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Office Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
