On the Rocks Cocktail Lounge

Set on the Oak Park and Berwyn border, the lounge opened in fall 2022 under founder Samantha, who drew on two decades of hospitality experience to build the drink lineup. The bar leans into house creations such as the Bourbon Peach Smash and Red Room Manhattan, while an on-site gaming area powered by HyperActive Gaming adds video slots into the room. Beyond neighborhood drop-ins, the space handles gatherings ranging from fantasy drafts to showers, with staff helping coordinate custom cocktail menus and setups.
