Nobody's Darling! Just go! Go right now! This wonderful black and woman owned bar is something I wish I could take home with me. This establishment is a gem in all of the most positive ways. Ranging from the music selection throughout any decade to POC (People of Color) and woman beverages they offer, including non alcoholic to low alcohol beverages and the delightful staff! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone of the community looking for a great time out in Chicago. It's accessible transportation wise. The pricing is incredible for this day and age to go out and have a drink or 10.

My girlfriend & I loved our experience here! We appreciated the safe, welcoming, fun yet intimate space. I absolutely loved the southside lychee martini my girlfriend enjoyed her nonalcoholic drink as well :) We will definitely be coming back!

We had the most amazing time here. Visiting from out of state, the bartenders were awesome, attentive, friendly, and informative. It was a nice chill vibe, delicious drinks, and an efficient flow. We played games, laughed, and vibed to some of the best music made past and present. I appreciated my experience and will make it a point to come back!

We had such a wonderful time at Nobody’s Darling! The DJ was playing hits, the bartenders were so friendly and knowledgeable, and the people were an absolute vibe. The patio is great if you’re looking for something on the more laid back side, and the ambiance inside is so cute & classy. Loved this bar, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

This was my first visit. Nobody's Darling was recommended. I have to say the atmosphere was amazing. Isaiah was great (he mixed my drink). This feels like a very inviting spot. I will surely go again.
