I didn't drink the night I visited, but I was with some friends who drank. the bartenders still ensured that they were looking after me and even refilling my seltzerwasser, which was super thoughtful! I bought my friends a few shots so I could leave a tip. the personal is awesome! add them to the wheel decor and this place is easily an 11/10.

Worst experience. they deny our entry after they show empty and ids just because they determine that we were not in order. Now, let me tell them, after a 16-hour shift man is ripening not drunk or high they are mature and what they have done is called discriminatory. I asked my associates if they wanted to go and they said estero and they discriminated us? They thought one of my employees was drunk, she was not tired after a long layer. we didn't argue that we just left. but I feel very disappointed.

One of the best mezcal selections in Chicago. No food here, but they allow you to bring your own. Mixed drinks are sometimes too sweet. Fills up quickly.

I’ve never been more disappointed of this place, a place I personally have recommended over and over to friends and fam and come to every time I have a chance. The first drinks were served by a female bartender, we ordered 2 mezcal drinks .. after an hour or so and before leaving we ordered one more to share between my husband and a bartender with a scarf brought us a drink that by color, was extremely watered down we always have the mezcal drinks which are yellow toned and whatever he brought wasn’t even yellow, it was crystal clear. When we questioned him, he started yelling and claimed the music was loud so he used a louder tone. We asked to close the tab and over and over told him the name of my card and he refused to listen with the most gross attitude walking away. The female bartender walked back, super defensive attitude, and said “It’s your drink and he served the end of the draft” Anyone with 10% brain would deny or decline that but for whatever reason they thought we had to receive this drink we declined twice. The third bartender, with a gross smirk on his face — dismissed us and told us “Have a good night” Coming from someone who’s done this job, this is a disgusting way to acknowledge customers and dismiss them regardless of the fact that they wanted us to sip on a drink that was “the end of the draft.” I don’t know how much you care about this, but you have forever destroyed our love for estéreo estéreo FM — for 100% we will never come back or pass word of mouth to an establishment that behaves this way — this isn’t how you treat people unless you assume everyone is drunk and you get away with this behavior! With our Latino industry hurting, I am more than ok with sharing the disgusting service we received tonight. From a biz owner to another — check in your staff, shittiest, lowest service I’ve seen a while. DO BETTER! Whoever is catching these you’re clearly ignoring all your recent reviews about the staff you have behind the bar check yourself or close it up. GROSS! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
