Time Out says

Adjacent to the Wicker Park branch of Cheesie's Pub, Whiskey Business offers up a copious amount of ’80s nostalgia without the noisy video game cabinets that clutter Chicago's arcade bars. This is the kind of place you go to drink a MacGuyver cocktail, watch Ghostbusters and eat a burger stuffed with crab cakes. The rooftop patio makes this a popular place to knock back fluorescent frozen drinks and try to drink your way back to the halcyon days of your youth.

Back 2 The Video Store: A 90s Speakeasy Bar

Throw it back to the ‘90s and early aughts, when Friday nights were spent wandering the video rental store. This new pop-up bar recreates that nostalgic experience while mixing in a variety of themed cocktails. Roam around the space, which is decorated with lava lamps, pog-playing stations and movie posters, with a membership card (drink ticket) in hand. When you find a beverage—inspired by the era’s best films—you like, bring the selection to the checkout counter for a Videotender to whip up. Throwback Movie Club will also take place on the rooftop, showing a lineup of timeless hits including Mean Girls, Clueless and Back to the Future.
