Punch House - Chicago

Loved this dark, nautical themed, yummy speakeasy. Matteo the bartender gave excellent, very gracious service. Duck carnitas were awesome! Highly recommended! Especially pre-show at Thalia Hall!

I've been here twice, once at night on the weekend, and again during a weekday evening. Two different vibes. Weekend night is definitely a cool bar to get drinks and just enjoy times with ur friends. It's definitely very dark down there and can be difficult to get a spot to sit. The cocktails are made in a punch so not much substitution is possible During the week, a few of us came for a bite and a drink. The burger was super yummy and it was pretty dead in there, we were maybe 1 of 2 parties there. Overall a cool place.

My go to neighborhood spot. Great drinks, even great nonalcoholic options. The food is pretty solid and the music is always great.

This is such a nice speakeasy! Never knew this existed in Pilsen let alone Thalia Hall. I don't know how I ever miss this precious building! I walked into a restaurant in which Punch House resides. The host near door was not sure about seating at Punch House and told us to head downstairs to see so safe to say that they're 2 separate entities. We headed downstairs and was hit by this old school look with the booths, lounge seats, low tables, piano, and more. I would say that they should be a bit better about being more welcoming or having a sign that says (seat yourself) or else you can stand there looking confused like us haha. We decided to just go ahead and find a seat at the closest table to us and the door cause we were too timid to see if anything was available and didn't know yet if that was allowed haha i think that's the onlyyy reason I took a star off. Once we sat down a waitress noticed us about 2min after and we had already looked at the menu (QR) and asked her for recommendations and flavor questions. She was very helpful and we both really enjoyed our drinks! Our waitress left mid service so can't say too much about her. I would definitely sneak in here again if possible when in the Pilsen area for a drink!

I like the underground theme and there was plenty of seating which I enjoyed. However, I think they need a new bartender or perhaps it was an off night because they served me a half-made special request drink in a 1oz portion, and an undesirable staple Mai tai. I would have rather they say they didn't know how to make them, rather than serve me crap....and I'm not the picky type.
