Faith & Whiskey Bar

Lincoln Park, Chicago –

Although there’s no shortage of Faith & Whiskey’s namesake libation, there are enough daily specials at this rocker-chic venue to ensure that even heretical scotch haters will find plenty to wash the night down with.

Business professionals looking to quench their thirst after a long day chat casually along the fifty-foot copper-plated bar, selecting their choice of hard stuff on tap as the skulls of two longhorns loom overhead.

Across from the mirror-backed bar, graduate and post-grad groups settle in at darkened tables beneath mounted electric guitars, enjoying $1 beer as they eye the vintage motorcycles perched above the restroom doors.

The guitar motif continues in the open back of the room, where an elevated DJ booth doubles as a live band karaoke stage on Thursdays, drawing liquor-fueled girls and shy-dudes-turned-power-ballad-gods to belt out their favorite tunes beneath the glow of antler chandeliers.

Although the venue is invariably chill in the early evenings, the dance vibe – and the volume – are kicked up after 9pm on Friday and Saturday nights as college-age revelers plow through discount pitchers, and conversation gives way to a DJ’s booming rock mixes.

One part chill whiskey den and one part beer-fueled party scene, Faith & Whiskey is the kind of place where patrons can enjoy fine spirits one minute and rock out the next.

And as the great Ozzy Osbourne once said, “If the music’s too loud…then you’re too old.”
