Nigel RoweJuly 16, 2011The bruschetta options are the best thing on the menu. Order at least 4 different varieties and you don't need dinner. Especially good if you want a vegetarian night out.
Justen Perez .comNovember 17, 2011BOYS & DECOR. Perhaps one of the most pretentious of the Boystown bars but after a drink everyone's all the same anyway. Find a spot and dance, baby dance! #BeASocial
Reserved Thursdays are the best deal in Lakeview for you vodka drinkers. Text/message me to reserve a table for bottle service for your minimum group of four. You won't believe the price. Read more
J. ChicagoOctober 10, 2012come here to see the biggest bunch of snots wearing expensive clothes their sugar daddies buy them. good luck getting served unless you wear prada or are on steroids. double plus if you are straight.
Faithe MasonSeptember 13, 2015Really sexy atmosphere on a hungover Sunday morning. The food is great.
Gilt CityDecember 19, 2011Minibar is widely known for having a staff that is not only friendly but also easy on the eyes.
Get to know a bartender, Thursday nights they offer $10 bottles of Vodka if you reserve a table in advance.- Jessi WohlwendDecember 23, 2012Fabulous Sunday brunch! Good food, and bottomless mimosas are always a plus :-)
Order any of the food specials for dinner. I make them all with love.
Dexter is always a good time. Say hi to him. You won't be disappointed.
zoomvacations.comMay 31, 2011Check out DS across the street, and then head to Minibar. DS also has a great Thursday unlimited taco special.
- Thursday nights are hopping at Minibar with a $xx premium bottle service special instead of the regular $xxx price. Message/text me for details and to get on the list.
Make friends with one of the bartenders to score their Thursday night industry special!
Don't expect much from Sunday brunch other than bland food, microwaveable bacon, and cold sausage. Just saying. Good deal on mimosas though....
Chris LaMorteMarch 21, 2010Alas, minibar has jumped the proverbial shark. The beautiful model bartenders have been replaced, the crowd is dull, and it sort of looks like a cruise ship from the 70s.- Ladies, listen up. Come in on Friday nights for a word-of-mouth only girls night out! Read more
- Try the caramel apple martini made by Byron! DELISH!!!
Nick GDecember 3, 2011The only time I had a good time here is when I was crashing someone else's party at 7pm.
Fred RoysterMarch 17, 2013Go for the drinks,not the food service. Waited 2 hours for a pizza. Manager was totally unfriendly and unapologetic
Pat LeeJuly 3, 2010Ah! Minibar is the proverbial Ed Hardy of gay bars. Some of you will see that as a positive. C'est la vie!
Bob BradyJanuary 24, 2016Bartender pour a shot over my arm and jacket. Does he acknowledge ? Nope. Poor service. You pour drinks on the rail. Retrain. Bartending 101.
