Krave

No ginger ale, cool👍🏾 not the end of the world, but the bartender Moses, seemed really irritable, annoyed & unacomadating despite me being overly polite. It’s so frustrating being overly nice & still getting unprovoked bad service & expected to pay. When I explained I can’t taste any of the alcohol (tequila) in my drink he tried to fix it by adding more club soda & cranberry & saying I needed to just order a double, instead of catering to my request & re-making my 1 drink with just a splash of cranberry this time. I didn’t even drink the drink. It’s only $7. Im not by any means trying to get over. I asked him to taste it himself & he refused yet insisted it was made correctly… even if it was made correctly, I’m still nicely explaining to you, I don’t like it & asking you can you PLEASE make it a different way, yet you’re forcing me to pay for a drink I don’t like & barely even touched but this isn’t even the kicker he brought me another drink he made out of frustration that I NEVER ASKED FOR, & I thought he brought it to make up for the bad drink but when I asked to check out he CHARGED ME for 2 bad drinks. Un-freaking believable. I asked to speak to a manager & for him to take it off he claimed he was the manager & that I had to sign & leave. God is my witness I would never make something like this up….side note: the music being played doesn’t match me the vibe of customers that was there. Nobody seemed to be even enjoying the music. It’s not that it’s bad music it was just way too techno electronic & not matching the small crowd there…

The owners are always at Krave which is not good for business. It was slow for a Saturday and i can see why….I also havnt been here in years and well you just lost good money. Know how to respect ur guests or just go in debt lol.

I came here after my husband said he wanted a divorce. I’ve been coming ever since. It’s my happy place. Karaoke, strong drinks, friendly staff who are more like family, and surprisingly affordable prices. I’m grateful for Krave existing. There aren’t too many places in the southern parts of Chicagoland that cater to the LGBTQIAP+ community. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍

Some friends, my husband and I went to this place last night and the truth is that I was disappointed. One of the two people who work at the bar had a bad attitude when attending us. He asked us for the identifications. One of my friends was looking for it in her bag and when I told him to wait a moment he acted rude I felt that he was a racist because from the first moment they treated us badly. I never go back to that place and I hope that the owner of the place has a professional staff with a good attitude.

I love krave but karaoke nights are a bit of a disappointment. The guy in charge of the music doesnt update the list of songs for the black and hispanic customers. He puts himself before your name so that he can sing first and doesnt appreciate when the audience is singing and hyping up the ones on the stage singing. They should also have the music according to the customers that are there at the moment or at least offer the option of picking some genres of music to hear while we spend our money there.

The environment of Club Krave was soothing. There is no cover fee. The bartenders were friendly and asked us if we needed anything. Do not mistake the outside for the inside. The music they played were both modern pop and old classics. Even the people there were friendly and welcoming. Furthermore, the drinks are cheap and affordable. I would definitely come back.

I’ve been coming here for the past few months and never had an issue but this particular Sunday was a bad day for the bartender I guess. He was rude telling me and my friends we had to be quiet I’m guessing because it was karaoke night. But if I know the song I’m gonna sing it. he was being a real Debbie downer. Then I accidentally knocked over a few limes and he said oh you guys have to go. Like that gives me the impression that you been feeling some type of way about us to the point we have to go because we knocked over a few pieces of fruit. He was being a real assssssshole.

I have had nothing but an amazing welcoming experience. I am a straight woman and have absolutely never felt any sort of judgment or out of place. The BarTender Randy is by far one of the best bartenders Ive had with how fun and outgoing he is plus his martinis are OUT OF THIS WORLD. All in all Ill definitely continue to enjoy myself at this bar. Karaoke nights are my go to and my group of girlfriends ALWAYS have a blast on karaoke night.

I absolutely love this place! Always have a blast here and the bartenders are so kind. I would Definitely recommend a stop here, it’s a fun place to stop in.

A great place to go if youre looking for a Black or Latino guy. I am looking to expand my wardrobe with a few new teddies just to please the men I come home with from here!!

Usually it’s a cool night but tonight as I’m watching the bartender put water in our drinks. Idk who this bartender is but please don’t let him bartend again

I am very glad yo know this place is still open. I haven’t been there since it was called Edge back in 2006. Great cocktails and very trans friendly. I used to go to the Wednesday night Island Girls gatherings which has also changed its name..

Awesome gay bar in the Chicago suburbs.

Boring and people is rude when you tell the truth

I havent gone in awhile but I gained a lot of Great Friends. Drinks were excellent, mood up lifting. I have to go back.. Best place to be,,, Everyone is Welcome n Im not going to say which side of the fence Im on, just deciding which way to go. Sammi Jo

Litty time! 😁 same bartender and staff for CENTURIES FOREAL. Lowkey drag queens there have been drag queens their whole life babyI remember some when I visited last year 🤟🏼😇🪩🧚‍♀️

Place is a hole in the wall bar for us gays in the southwest side. Cant beat dollar drinks on Thursdays. Shows are mediocre at best. As with any gay suburban bar in Chicagoland; theres a ton of drama and queens. Nothing special. Just a place to unwind and relax.

Had a great time. A lot of fun. Danced the nite away. Omg, had the greatest time recently. The drink prices and the owner is outstanding. Good bartenders and friendly people. The decor is beautiful.

I’ve been coming to this bar for at least 12 years now and I’ve always had a great experience. All the bar tenders are very friendly. I will keep coming here for many more years.

The boys were ugly. The owner booked a drag queen and didnt like her so berated her on the mic then forbid her to come ever again and refused to pay her. Also I think the drinks were watered down.

My sister is a regular went for the first time last night brandis show was awesome performer violet made me and my daughter welcome.thanks aaron for making sure my daughter had a great 21st birthday

They are so disrespectful and disgusting people

Not that busy but the bartenders acted like they were. Horrible stripper and the crowd seems up right. Nice smoking area and clean atmosphere.

Ive always had a good time at Krave. It feels more like a community than just a bar.

Every time I go, it’s never mutual music! Always pop or rock, should seriously invest into r&b and hip hop

Everyone here so friendly and nice. Extremely nice neighborhood bar.

The Blue Island Arts Alliance hosted their fourth annual variety show here. I was impressed with the place!

Safe, nice atmosphere, very friendly bartenders, decent size dance floor, decent sound system, and nice community

RIP Crystal Binns. It aint been the same with out you rest up Queen.

Great atmosphere, fun people and great bartending/dj staff!

Its a fun place to just hang out and meet friends. Everyone is friendly.

Donnell is a BOP!! My FAVORITE bartender!!!

A hidden gem. Screw boystown. People here are so nice

Most fun Ive had in a bar in ten years.
