Vol. 39 is a sophisticated, vintage-inspired cocktail bar tucked inside the Kimpton Gray Hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago. Just a short walk from major concert venues like the Chicago Theatre and Auditorium Theatre, this plush hideaway pairs classic cocktails with old-world ambiance. With dark wood accents, leather armchairs, and towering bookcases, it’s a cozy, upscale spot for pre- or post-show drinks.
Vol. 39 is a favorite for its central Loop location, making it an easy stop before heading out to a show. Its relaxed, low-noise atmosphere is ideal for conversation, and the attentive service means you’ll get your drinks without a long wait. While there’s no full dinner menu, the bar offers elevated small plates – perfect for a light bite before a performance. It’s also a great spot for a nightcap after the encore.
Reviewers love the intimate, speakeasy-style setting and praise the bar’s expertly made cocktails. Guests frequently mention the friendly, knowledgeable bartenders and the overall quiet, relaxed vibe – a refreshing change from louder pre-show spots. The curated drink list with rare spirits also gets high marks from cocktail enthusiasts.
Some visitors note that seating can be limited during peak hours and that the lighting may be too dim for those who prefer a brighter space. While the food selection is high-quality, it’s more suited for snacking than a full meal.
If you’re heading to a concert and want a stylish, quiet place to sip a craft cocktail before or after the show, Vol. 39 is a classy contender in the heart of downtown Chicago.
