Very cool vibe in there. DJ was great and cocktails were great. Biggest disappointment, however, was the fact that they advertised “shows” yet only 1/4 of the capacity can actually see said show due to the poor layout. Our group was seated in the second room and you could not see any of the show. When you try to stand and come up towards the front, the staff yells at you. Maybe reservations should make it clear if you have a show view or not or at least have separate shows for both seating areas
I have to say this place was not what I was expecting at all. First of all, there was no warning anywhere that they were closed till 11 pm because of the private party. Since we came to Wicker Park to get into Bordel, we decided to grab a bite right downstairs at Black Bools, which is the only plus to this place! Second, they had a very loud instead of speaking easy Tuesday when that finally opened! Too many people in that tiny space. The band was not playing, which was why I wanted to go to that place. And the bartender was rude when I complained about it. He said that since I've already waited 2 hours, I can wait another 30min till the band starts playing. It was the last drop, and we just left. Also, I was not too fond of the layout of the place, and you can only see the band or performer if you sit in the first part of the place and only can order a drink from the bar if you are in the second. I mean, really?
We had a fun evening at Bordel. Flamenco performance, cocktails and food was amazing. Later the DJ played some amazing music. Service was all courteous and prompt. We will be going again.
my newest favorite wine bar. huge place! lots to look at. the patrons are nice, staff is super friendly. our server was knowledgeable on the wine and cheese selections, and didn't rush us when we took a while to make our decisions. the menu is very extensive, certainly something for every palette. the wine flights are my favorite!! i want to go back to try all of them eventually. great variety in varietal and geographic sourcing. definitely recommend for anyone in the city that loves wine.
Fantastic bar with a exuberant crowd. Ben was the major player in keeping me there drink after drink. If you have never witnessed a genius artisan of the mixology craft, he will absolutely surprise you. His drink is catered to you in ways you've yet to experience. Tailor made some phenomenal spicy drinks as well. You have to experience the wonderful art that is this bar. Beat of luck trying to find what you like most! Absolute unit of a person, Ben, Thank you!!!
