Really great place to spend a rainy cold Chicago afternoon. The place is quiet and cozy. The seating is just right and it's small without feeling cramped. I enjoyed the rose wine and nibbles. Our waiter was also very nice and kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. Can't wait to go back.

Service was really off. We’ve been a few times before and that wasn’t the case, so maybe an off night. One of the martinis came out with nothing in the glass. Weird. Still a great room and atmosphere, but it was just off during our visit.

Drinks totally overpriced and not special. The Old Fashioned is better almost anywhere else. Had luke warm chips with parmesan. The most awful thing we can remember. This really made our stomachs turn around. Service not friendly and kind of slow. Cheque finally was wrong but we paid and ran away.

The atmosphere and dacor is a bad try. Place was completely dead on a Thursday night. Highly overpriced, I had a cheese plate that was very expensive for three pieces of cheese. Wasn't the cool experience I was hoping for.

Perfect place for a nice special occasion, drinks only! They have various snacks, but the crab dip was ok. The staff was great and attentive. Ruben was awesome! We went on a Thursday night and loved that it was not loud. They are also great with paying attention to special requests on your reservation. I had asked for a specific seating location and they provided us with 3 seating options, one being the perfect option (which they had already saved the table to begin with). Will be back for another special occasion indeed!

The ambiance is lovely. The chairs can be closer to each other for a more intimate feel. The prices can be more reasonable. There are better cocktail places in the area with reasonable prices, but the ambiance is what sets this place apart.

Volume 39 executes flawless craft cocktails, period. Their Old Fashioned is the benchmark by which all others are measured. Their non-melting ice cubes defy thermodynamics. I work across the street. I sit in Vol 39, and give my employer a one finger salute, as I raise my glass to LIFE.

Cocktails here are too sweet and service was not good. I couldn’t choke the drink down but I stupidly paid for it anyway. Nice place but just get something on the rocks or neat and sit at the bar.

This is not a place for dinner and should not come up under a search for restaurants. They have a limited selection of small plates that our waiter described as “bar food”. The staff felt a bit pretentious as well. On the plus side, their drink menu is great and our waiter was very knowledgeable about their whiskey.

Bartender was pretty good. However, Meredith is the best! We wished she was working that night.

The music was really loud towards the end of the night, especially for the 5 people that were in the bar. Other than that, our server and bartender and host was excellent.
