Not worth the cost by a long shot. You’re better off spending a bit more for a nicer tea experience.

Super fun. Food was excellent and the vibe was relaxed and hip - not your traditional Sunday tea. The service was slow but I would go back!

The price of the boozy tea (that includes no booze) is $65, which allows for each person to have only one of each of the tea sandwiches. The selection of tea was fine approx. five options. There weren't options to make dietary accommodations when making the reservations and there were no vegan options available. The waitress/server was generally nice.

Thank you for choosing Bar Pendry's Boozy Tea and for your kind words about our associates. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by limited options to accommodate your dietary needs. We appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we continually strive to improve our service. We hope to serve you again soon.

We did the boozy tea and it was wonderful. The tea was delicious and flavorful and the small bites were to die for. Our waitress was on top of everything and the brunch music was lively. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I had reservations for high tea. They first sat me at a nice table with comfortable chairs. After being seated and waiting for the rest of my party to arrive, they asked me to move to another table. I agreed but then they sat me at a high table by the bar. My party arrived and we set by the bar which was uncomfortable for high tea. They never sat anyone at the table I was moved from. They never came back to refill hot water either. There are a lot of places in Chicago to have high tea, I do not recommend the Pendry.

The Boozy Tea experience was exceptional. Food and tea were delicious. The ambiance,decor and dj playing cool music just loud enough to set the scene/mood was enjoyable.
