Berkshire Room

A couple of weeks ago I went to Berkshire Room with my friends Michelle and Emily. This place has constantly been on the hot list for being one of the best new cocktail bars. The Berkshire Room is part of the 50/Fifty restaurant group and is located in the ACME Hotel in River North. That being said, this place doesn't feel like just another hotel bar.

The vibe here was great. The bar was not too crowded and wasn't loud, but also wasn't empty and there was someone sitting at almost every lounge area and table. There is a very limited food menu, essentially they only have high end bar snacks (most of which didn't look that appealing). The cocktails were great though. The menu had a side with regular cocktails and stronger cocktails. Sadly I was driving so had to go with one of the regular cocktails.

This place is great for a work night meet up for some cocktails. I would definitely recommend coming here. I think it also could be a good date place because there is semi private lounge areas and it was easier to talk because it wasn't too loud.
