Devious Lounge Redefines What a Night Out in Wrigleyville Looks Like
A swank new cocktail bar proves Wrigleyville can do more than just beer
For years, Wrigleyville nightlife has been defined by beer, rowdy crowds and game day jerseys; a scene built for baseball more than cocktails. The arrival of Devious Lounge tells a new story. One built on refined cocktails, conversation and a swank atmosphere that feels entirely new to the neighborhood.
Devious Lounge sits under Pilot Project Brewing’s Wrigleyville space, though it feels worlds apart from the brewery upstairs or the sports bars lining Clark Street. Low lighting, lush seating, and vinyl spinning from the speakers give it the sensibility of a speakeasy, designed for lingering rather than rushing between innings.
This is a cocktail bar for people who care about what’s in their glass.
The drinks are spirits-forward, intentionally curated, and designed to be enjoyed slowly– the way a proper cocktail should.
The Black Manhattan anchors the list, a moody balance of rye and house Devious amaro that drinks darker and more layered than its classic counterpart. The Parisian Old Fashioned takes the opposite approach: bourbon lifted with pistachio-rose syrup, a refined twist that feels both elegant yet unexpected.
Even the Espresso Martini gets a Devious twist — finished with mezcal and amaro for a darker, smokier, and unexpected take on the classic.
In a city where high-energy bars aren’t hard to find, Devious Lounge makes a subtle statement: Wrigleyville can be swank, too. For anyone looking for something grown-up and genuinely good, Devious Lounge delivers.
