Sang till they closed. Best karaoke place I’ve been to in a while.

Super fun karaoke bar. Drinks were a bit pricy but a very fun time was had

Parking: Park across the street

I didn't have any food but I had two Moscow mules. I was early enough to catch the happy hour special. It was a nice low key vibe for Wednesday. Not too many people and it wasn't too loud.

Nicole is a friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable bartender!!!!

Bartender was crazy fast and made great drinks

Really busy karaoke bar so had to stand for a while but great atmosphere and fun night

What a spot!! Karaoke is running all the time. The bartenders are very nice and accommodating. Stopped in here on a Sunday night and they were still partying. The people are sweet and there’s plenty of seats whether you choose the bar or a back room. This was the perfect night cap with a lovely group of people.

I came to chicago by myself to replace my passport. I randomly googled "what to do late night in chicago" on a random Tuesday. It was such a fun, welcoming atmosphere that I didn't expect from Chicago. Bartender was awesome. I wish I could remember her name. She was great. Manny, the karaoke host, was literally on fire. I really appreciated the night I had there, and it made the rest of my trip so much better. Thanks y'all hit me up when you come to Nashville!

My party & I had an absolute blast & whenever I go to Chicago, I wanna go there!

A fun speakeasy vibe bar in the loop! I came for the Tuesday trivia which was such a good time (won a bottle of vodka!) and had some great drinks! It is a pretty packed space and can get loud with the karaoke but still a good atmosphere. It’s definitely a fun little Chicago gem to see.

Had a great time! KJ was great (both locations are awesome!), fun crowd. Will def be back!

Stumbled upon this place while I was in town for a conference. We had so much fun! Got there at like 12:30 am because we came from a drag show at the conference so I wish we had more time. Karaoke was great, acoustics were pretty solid. Not busy at all on a Wednesday night but so so fun.

An old school speakeasy vibe and karaoke, yes please. Such a fun spot for a night out with friends. They run the song selection process through an app on your phone and our dj was willing to find songs on youtube if necessary, so there were no limits on song selection. Drinks are fairly priced and the food is decent.

Had a mule and espresso martini. Service was good. Nice cozy place. Karaoke was good. Would be nice if there was food or appetizers to purchase.

Nice place to hang out with friends and sing karaoke.

This Place is Amazing! I was in town and wanted to sing a few tunes before heading out and this is the place. The Atmosphere is everything! Will be back when I'm in town.

I loooove this place. It is so cute, the music is so nice and they have such a good vibe. The staff is so fun and they have a $5 cocktail during happy hour. The best expresso martini I ever tried

A lovely place to come and enjoy a drink and sing karaoke! Definitely come during happy hour when the drinks are $5.

We never miss the chance to have drinks and join in all the karaoke fun at Brando's when we visit Chicago!

It’s a beautiful bar but the karaoke vibe doesn’t match the original location. Still a solid bar.

Exelente lugar para la familia

This place is so much fun! Bad singing but great drinks!

Good drinks, and service.

I like it 좋아유

So fun! 🤩

Four stars because the drinks were okay and a pizza that I ordered came out still cold and in some parts frozen. Otherwise a fun time with friends!

This is a really cute, hidden karaoke bar! The ambience is great! So fun. Have all the songs!

Good service and drinks. Good prices

We just went to the bar side of Brando's. It was nice and comfortable inside. The music playing was loud, but we were able to talk and still hear each other. It was happy hour, and the bartender took good care of us. A larger crowd started to appear closer to 7, but nothing unruly. The atmosphere is dark, but that fits the mood perfectly. We did order a small pizza since dinner was a little ways off. It was excellent. For just a sausage pizza, I thought the taste was great, and the crust was spot on. Don't let the choice of just pizza turn you off, this could've been a meal if we ordered a large, and enjoyed that too. Overall, we will definitely stop in again if we are in the area. Perfect spot to start a great date night or evening out.

I love coming here. Haven't been in a while but it's usually a very relaxed spot with fun vibes and great times!

Unleash your inner rockstar at Brando's Lincoln Park! Let the music guide your night and sing your heart out with friends. It's not just karaoke; it's an unforgettable experience! Brando's is a high-energy karaoke bar in Lincoln Park with amazing cocktails. It's the perfect space for a night out, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and birthdays! I highly recommend trying their seasonal pumpkin spice espresso martini!

Gotta love Brando's! Great drinks, good service, non-stop karaoke

This is a fantastic spot! The ambiance is incredibly aesthetically pleasing, and the karaoke experience is a standout. What's even better is the friendly atmosphere - everyone is genuinely nice.

I went last Friday with my girlfriend and two of our friends and this place is AMAZING. The drinks are strong, the bartenders and staff are incredibly friendly, and the karaoke is POPPIN. The woman running the karaoke can get any song you want up, it's free to sing (but tips are appreciated), and we got the party started with Holy Grail which got everyone out to the mic. Personally I think they're espresso martinis were killer, and that my rendition of The Anthem by Good Charlotte was the best song of the night. This place is going to be a staple of the neighborhood for a long time coming.

Great addition to Lincoln park!

The best place in Lincoln Park (besides King of Cups). Bartenders know their stuff 🙂

Good atmosphere when it's busy, but too expensive for cocktail that is small glass full of ice...

Best karaoke bar in town!! Visiting from California and for sure the most fun night out yet 🙂

love this place 🙂

Good vibes, cool decorations. Very fun atmosphere. I love the karaoke vibe but it is a nicer dressed karaoke bar.

Best Kareoke spot, drinks and atmosphere!

Amazing vibe we love it

Great time for karaoke! The staff is very friendly

Spent my birthday at Brandos it was amazing!!!! Daddy Delight was delicious!!

A very cool speakeasy! Was here from out of town and went on a Monday and Wednesday. No sign outside just a neon martini glass. No special knock needed though! Very nice atmosphere l, a little dark (as it should be) and a fun crowd. Karaoke every night, which is a blast! The bartender is super nice and makes an amazing Old Fashioned. Easy to make friends and a fun place to grab a drink and/or sing! Definitely recommend!

Go with a group for a great time. Or just go for the "show"!

Great place
