Reviews for Arbella in Chicago, IL
This place has a pretty decent happy hour! Orders the Mexican dance-off (delicious!) and the Korean sweet and spicy tenders... (pretty good but could be better) and truffle fries (pretty good asl well!) The vibes are very cozy and lounge-like. It’ssuper cute and I would definitely recommend! Definitely will be coming back!

Went there with wife to celebrate the end of a busy week! The buzzing atmosphere was lovely which reminded us our younger days... ????. This place is extremely popular so reservation is recommended. We were lucky that there was a small table available to usfor 1.5 hours. There were quite a few drinks/cocktails on the menu as well as snacks. Don’t expect full-on meals since it isa cocktail bar after all. We decided to just have some drinks here and ordered a few signature cocktails which were good.However the sweetness could be dialled down a notch. Soon after we sat down, a group of young ladies sat down next to us.Needless to say, we had to shout for rest of the night otherwise none of us could be heard ???????????? The service was verytentative and friendly. Read more
What great drinks and creative good food. The atmosphere was perfect, not quite speakeasy but dark and a little mysterious. ... Staff was fantastic! Read more
Great spot in Chicago to go for drinks. They also have food on the menu and great music. They had a DJ when I visited, with a... nice selection on mixes to get you dancing. All cocktails are delicious and perfect! I will definitely go back on my next visitto the city. Read more
Happy Hour is Mon-Sat until 7pm. Had Friday 7pm reservation. Place was slightly crowded from after work happy hour. Arbella has... a dimly lit, Candle-light ambiance. I had pork tacos, 3/$10, did not disappoint. I had a "Mexican Dance off" and "If I wereGreen, I would die" which has egg whites (suggested by waitress Paige and surprisingly delicious). There's an option to rinseyour glass in absinthe. As the night progresses, a DJ comes,some tables are cleared and it's a club vibe. Great experience,will be going back! Read more
The drinks here are amazing! I love the happy hour deals and the vibe in here. The smoky bear drink we got was really cute and... we've never seen anything like that before. The only con is that the music here at night was bad and sometimes it's hard to geta table here around 5-6. Read more
Really fun spot with great friendly service and good music. I enjoyed the high ceilings and the crowd at the bar. Happy Hour... drinks are extremely good value at $10 per cocktail for selected items. Definitely hope to come back. Read more
A really fun energy to the space and awesome drinks. I got the Korean tenders and they were so good. I'll definitely need to... come back since I came with such a big group I wasn't really paying attention. So far I like it! Read more
