"I found the bartenders to be friendly and approachable, and they were eager to provide recommendations. It was amusing when one suggested the brownie while another recommended the Key Lime cheesecake; I’d go with the cheesecake! They also worked efficiently. If you’re planning on catching a show, I recommend arriving at least 45 minutes in advance to secure a seat. It’s a great spot for people-watching and can enhance your night out. However, be aware that the bar tends to get quite busy about 30 minutes before the show, so be prepared for a wait since it’s counter service only (there’s no table service). A helpful tip: you can pre-order drinks for intermission to save time.
If you’re there for food, keep in mind that the kitchen closes about 45 minutes before the show, which I found somewhat strange. The most expensive item on the menu is $13. While it’s not particularly innovative, there’s something for everyone, from mozzarella sticks to a grilled chicken BLT. I only had dessert, which was reasonably priced at $6 and felt worth it. There’s also a concession stand in the main lobby offering small snacks and drinks, but no substantial food or alcohol.
I expected prices to be outrageous, but they were decent and, in some cases, quite fair. Cocktails were around $10, and I appreciated the creativity of the drink menu. For instance, the Hadestown Press was a refreshing mix of pomegranate vodka, club soda, and Sprite. They often feature a rotating cocktail inspired by the performance theme—I'm guessing that Roxy’s Revolver was created when Chicago was in town. Various wines are available by the glass and bottle, as well as prosecco, with glass prices ranging from $10-12, which feels reasonable. Plus, you can take your drinks into the theatre, making it even more convenient."
