Cristina BarrosoJuly 15, 2013Great place! Service is great! The cocktails are delicious! Hoar's Frost is perfect refreshment for a hot summer day. They also have a lot of old whisky's if you like that.
ChicagoistMay 5, 2015This quiet escape might be known for cocktails, but the small plates menu is worth a trip for dinner. Finish it off with an indulgent Baked Alaska, with luxardo cherries and dark chocolate. Read more
Redeye ChicagoJanuary 21, 2016Billy Sunday is famous for their cocktails using homemade tonic. It's easy to forget that they offer food as well. So make sure to try their small plates and get the baked alaska for dessert. Read more
Dana TedescoNovember 16, 2014Everything "In a Jar" was great! Roasted Tomatoes, Chicken Liver Pâté, but best was Brandade (smoked Whitefish) w/ fried capers & pickled pistachios. Ran out of á la carte bread for the spreading, tho
My tip is this: ASK about ANY ingredient on the cocktail list. Start a conversation. EVERYTHING's exceptional so find what you like & GO FOR IT. Fried green tomatoes salad this spring which is perfect
You get what you pay for here: great presentation of well-crafted drinks. Plus, the name is a cheeky homage to the famous Prohibitionist preacher.
- Shannon HallowellOctober 10, 2015Great craft cocktails! Love the bartenders and the atmosphere. Very dark/ romantic/ classic. They have customs tonics on draft that are amazing. Great old fashioneds and Manhattans.
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018Step back in time to this old school cocktail lounge in Logan Square. I like this place on the weekends. Beverage with terrific food menu choices. Outdoor patio too!
Serious EatsAugust 12, 2013The drinks using house-made tonic are the main draw, but all the offering at this cocktail destination are worth ordering.
Jaye JalsoJanuary 13, 2016The small plates are amazing. The items in a jar are tasty. Drinks inventive and balanced. Haven't made it to the bar, but servers were friendly and well informed.- Tasting TableMay 11, 2016This charming cocktail bar has custom tonics on tap and an irresistible banana pudding you won't want to miss!

Carly SMarch 21, 2016The manager/guy who runs the 'wait list' is simply the best. Always extremely nice and honest about wait times. Great service all around.
Shannon HallowellOctober 9, 2016This is my favorite cocktail bar in the city. Draft tonics are delicious, staff is super knowledgeable and fun. Atmosphere is great.
Mark GillFebruary 11, 2013Rabbit pot pie is amaze-balls. I want it in a deli to go, everyday for lunch for the rest of the cold season. Also, chicken liver in a jar is outstanding!- The largest collection of Amari in the United States. Make sure to try a vintage amaro!
Bobby KennedyAugust 23, 2016Delicious inventive cocktails and interesting snacks in dark ornate environs. The meat and cheese boards are also amazing.
Jenna KowalczykFebruary 3, 2015Bartender's are extremely friendly & helpful. Check out their website for an up to date drink/food menu. Very cozy & great atmosphere.
Amy LebowskyMarch 11, 2017Dark and dreamy. Design girl heaven. Olive/tomato/thyme popcorn blew my mind. The house bottled cocktails were perfect!
Peter SJuly 8, 2013Very good, small selection of food. Outdoor patio seats about 20 and fills fast on nice days. Drinks are amazing, try their Negroni.- You get what you pay for here—great presentation of well-crafted drinks. Plus, the name is a cheeky homage to the famous Prohibitionist preacher.
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The victorian cocktail at Billy Sunday is one of the 100 best things we drank this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk
Stephen SmytheJune 28, 2016Come for the drinks (standards like the old fashion) and step above food.
Emily BoltonAugust 25, 2017Love this place! Great cocktails and really wonderful bartenders. Approachable and welcoming atmosphere.
Peter GerardAugust 20, 2018Remarkably good selection of scotch whisky. A little pricey, but you can find some unique drams.
Kt YoungOctober 5, 2013Great place, amazing drinks...if you like something with a hint of sweetness try the know your magi!
Talia FlaganMarch 8, 2014Great drinks and good food. Ask the friendly bartenders about Fernet and you will get an education.
Nick HorkNovember 11, 2013great cocktails, good small plates, can get a bit pricey if you're doing both.
The drinks here are always inventive and never disappoint.
The Tonics are simply amazing. Wish they were available to go. Made for summertime.
Danny KimMarch 10, 2013Pig ears are quite deliteful. Like a chicharones with a different but just as addicting flavor.
Nick BaldwinDecember 1, 2013It's trying too hard on the cocktail front. Great vibe. Great location in LS.
Try the "Cocktail" - possibly the perfect winter drink.
Shannon JeropkeJune 6, 2017Runner up for Best Single-Focus Bar at the 2017 Time Out Chicago Bar Awards.
Friendly hostess will find you a spot. Next step...order the Kent.
