Reviews for Ghost Donkey: Mezcal and Tequila Bar

The passion fruit Mezcal margarita was everything I’ve ever wanted! And the bartender who helped us was incredibly nice and helpful with his recommendations!

We didn't try the food but there is a menu available. We just came to have a few drinks. This place is hidden away on the back of the food court at the Cosmopolitan 2nd floor. Its very small but the drinks are good. Its definitely a cool place to hang out. The bartenders are quick to make your drinks.

Very small intimate bar inside the food court. Friendly bartenders.

My first time there today and it was unforgetful. Didn’t catch the bartender’s name but it was just him and the barback taking care of the whole crowd. Even though they were short staffed, I got my drink quickly and they had great customer service :)

I love this establishment. Chavez was an amazing example of hospitality. She helped make our intended short stop at Ghost Donkey turn into several hours having a blast around the bar. The DJ’s, awesome. The staff, heroes. This place looks out for its guests. You’re in great hands, so get wild. Thank you Ghost Donkey for an AMAZING time. We’ll see you again soon!

Small hidden bar, the drinks are excellent, relaxed atmosphere and impeccable service, we had a great evening.

Very fun bar around downtown Chicago. The drinks were good on happy hour. Chips and guac were great. I went on a Thursday night, and they were playing bachata and cumbia and thennnn they started playing loteria. Super fun! And everyone was very nice.

We arrived at our reservation time and were seated right away. The decor was really fun and lively. You could tell that they were setting up for more of a spanish night club atmosphere later after we left. The tacos and cocktails were really delicious. If we didn't have another place to run to after eating, we would have stayed for the dancing! Altogether great spot in River North! Be sure to hit the photo booth on your way out!

Totally unexpected because we kind of stumbled on this place while in the area but the hospitality was exactly what you’d want during a happy hour visit. The second we sat down they brought us a “welcome in” drink (pictured, its their frozen Stealth Margarita). The music was actually a Mexican playlist, which really added to the atmosphere. We ate the carne asada quesadilla and the chips and guacamole from the happy hour menu and both were great. We’ll definitely be back 🍹

Music and service were really great! The workers came regularly to check-in, and they came with BUBBLES!! and shots to celebrate a birthday in my group. I made a reservation just to ensure seating for the birthday celebration, but there are so many seats that walk-ins would be fine. The entire place is decorated with really pretty lights, and it was just a nice atmosphere.

This spot is very much a hidden gem! The music and atmosphere were very good! Music was great and really helped set the mood! Drinks are really well made here and reasonably priced! Great for a night out with friends! The bartender was very attentive and nice so shoutout to her!

My Girlfriend had the Quesadilla and said it was a 5. We both got Casa margaritas and they were cool! Happy Hours all day Sunday definitely makes coming here worth it!
