What people say

The Berkshire Room is a hidden gem located inside the ACME Hotel Company lobby at 15 East Ohio Street in River North, Chicago. The name of this cocktail bar and pub pays homage to The Berkshire Hotel that once occupied the original hotel space from the 1920s thru the 1950s.

The talented bartenders then craft unique one-of-a-kind cocktails on the fly. In addition to this, there is an extensive list of over 400 spirits, an esoteric wine and champagne selection by the bottle and glass, 20 international craft beers, and six "blue collar lagers" for just $4 each.

The design of The Berkshire Room is a perfect blend of old-world charm with contemporary urban touches. From whiskey crate walls to a bar front made from overlapping leather belts, plush seating to rare terrazzo composite flooring from The Berkshire Hotel that was uncovered during demolition of the space - every detail has been thoughtfully curated. With approximately 70 seats available, it's an intimate setting perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a romantic evening out.
