    We really loved the bar and the bartenders and servers. They gave us an amazing experience and the drinks were fantastic! The hostess was a little rude and off putting and we heard other patrons mention that as well. She was rude both evenings to our party and it didn’t feel very welcoming. We’re grateful the rest of the staff did not have that vibe and were able to make up for it.

    Eric, Thanks for taking the time to share a detailed review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time bar side and your "Vol. 39 Mule." That said, it sounds like not everyone from our team was the most welcoming. We will be sure to address your comments with the team member that was working and use this as a learning opportunity. We hope that next time, we can earn that fifth star for hospitality. Best, The Team at Vol. 39

    Hi Jay! Thanks for taking the time to share a review of your time in our library of spirits. While we're glad to hear that our attentive team and warm atmosphere exceeded your expectations, we're disappointed that the cocktails were not just as exceptional. Our team of mixologists is trained to shake up artfully crafted libations and it seems we missed the mark here. If there are any more details you'd like to share that could be helpful for our team, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We hope we have the chance to truly wow you with our drinks in the future. Best, The Team at Vol. 39

    We went Vol .39 on a Friday night about 9 pm. We missed the office crowd which was great. I had a corner table overlooking the street and it was perfect. My wife and I flew into Chicago and got to the hotel just in time to make it to the bar. I had an amazing Negroni and the wife had a cava from the Penedes region in Spain which is always great. Oysters took a while which means they shucked them to order. The Pink Moon’s from PEI were the perfect temperature, sweetness and brininess. We also ordered the charcuterie board and beet salad. We’ll be back next time.
