   The drinks were not worth the price. Super watery and not much flavor.

   Some of the best drinks we’ve ever had, and we love a cocktail bar.

   The best bar I’ve been to in Chicago—it’s a must! The drinks are inventive and expertly crafted—and delicious.

   Roger and Charlie went above and beyond to make our experience at the Alderman special. The emphasis on delicious craft cocktails and the overall vibe really makes The Alderman a stand-out program. Will absolutely be back.

   Great experience, a bit more secluded and with a sense a classic style.

   Very nice intimate place for drinks. Perfect for a date night. All of their drinks are top notch and very well crafted. Their classic cocktails are great but their seasonal cocktails are what make this place a must-try. Their service is also above and beyond. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One of them went out of his way to make something off menu.

   Took my girlfriend for some drinks at the Alderman and we loved the romantic ambiance and the intimacy of the bar! Drinks were fantastic and my only regret was not trying every drink on there.
