Chicago's Karaoke Bar & Cocktail Lounge

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐First time at Brando’s Speakeasy and had a great experience! Such a fun spot with an awesome karaoke atmosphere and great energy. Our bartender, Danny, was fantastic! He recommended some great drinks and made us Vegas Bombs that were seriously delicious. Came here with my girlfriend and we both had an amazing time. Great drinks, excellent service, and a really fun vibe. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend, and make sure to ask for Danny!

f you’ve ever wondered what a great leader in Chicago’s nightlife industry looks like, spend a night at Brando’s Speakeasy under this manager’s watch.A versatile leader that manages from the front—supporting staff, engaging with guests, handling challenges calmly and professionally—all while keeping the venue sharp, upbeat, and welcoming.In an industry where chaos can easily take over, he creates a vibe that feels both high-energy and effortlessly controlled.

Was in Chicago for a work trade show and went in here and had a blast, was late for work the next day so you know it was fun.

Came here for a friend's birthday and the drinks and vibes were so much fun. It wasn't overly packed either and the karaoke was easy to navigate and enjoy!

Can't comment on food. We didn't order any but atmosphere, the vibe, all great. Aside from the KJ accepting a $20 tip insinuating I would be up next or soon in the karaoke lineup which he did not. So we left. Be ready to spend money if you go but also have an amazing time.

Place is dope! This is a must see

Fun place

Great vibes and great happy hour deals

Great late night spot. High energy atmosphere.

I came on a whim for karaoke night in early August, 2026. The place was jam packed, just like karaoke night is supposed to be. it was a seven minute walk from my hotel which was by Grant Park. Sometimes you go to a karaoke bar and people pick some obscure ballad, or terrible country song, but when I was here, people picked banger, after crowd pleaser, after certified bop. The staff was super friendly, and the drinks were delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures or try I try any food, but next time for sure. I had a great night, thank you.

Had a great time here.

I have to say that this is one of the places in Chicago where I recommend you not to skip if you like singing! Sing it girl! 🙌🏻✨

Great experience overall. Fun place, perfect atmosphere, good times!

unas de las mejores hamburguesas que probé en mi vida.. alucinante!
