Our patio is built for year round hangs. Open air in the summer, enclosed and heated in the winter, it’s the perfect spot to kick back and stay awhile.

Dogs are always welcome here. Inside or on the patio, bring your pup along. We’re big dog people and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Great drinks, great food, your way. Order takeout or delivery from nearby spots and enjoy it here. Pie Eyed Pizzeria is just around the corner and a local favorite. Grab something good and stay awhile.

Our egg white margarita is our signature for a reason. Made with premium ingredients and fresh juice, it’s smooth, balanced, and easily our most popular cocktail.

Founded in 1945, The Matchbox is a true Chicago legend. Small in size but big in impact, it has long been a place to share drinks in an intimate setting. Through multiple ownership changes, one thing has stayed the same: preserving the charm that made it special. Today, after thoughtful updates, Matchbox remains just as it’s always been, welcoming new neighbors, longtime regulars, and anyone looking for a little nostalgia.

For over 75 years, we’ve been serving premium cocktails in one of Chicago’s most intimate bars. It’s a legacy we’re proud of and one we carry forward every day.
