Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club

Came here for brunch today for my partner’s birthday. Made reservations for a party of six, but only five could make it. We were given a table that barely had room for four, while a couple next to us had a table nearly twice the size.
The pre fixe brunch is grossly overpriced and honestly underwhelming. Two of us had dishes including fried chicken, and they were both dry and cold. My panini was bland. The lump of dough passed off as a «first course» certainly doesn’t merit an extra $ 10 price tag.
Our table was surrounded by others being doted on by the waitstaff, but we were all but ignored. Our «bottomless» drinks were empty more than half the time, and the music was too loud to even hear the waiters when they did bother to come by.
The drag performer was lackluster at best. We requested multiple times for a birthday shoutout, but she didn’t even look our way. All in all, brunch at the Kit Kat was a complete waste of time and money.

I love martinis. I love drag shows. And yes, I love gay bars. Mostly because they are just so damn fun!
I first found out about the Kit Kat Lounge and Supper Club from the North Halsted Neighborhood Association Winter Fest Soup Walk. Yeah, that’s a lot of words. But the bottom line is that in the dead of winter, the North Halsted Neighborhood Association pulls together an awesome event where various restaurants make soups and have them available at other retail locations. Kit Kat had soup available at another business, and after that, I came to Kit Kat for the authentic experience.
On first entrance, the staff at Kit Kat helped us find a seat and told us about their specials. But Kit Kat has a ton of martinis of so, so many different awesome flavors. All are great, and their special martinis are even better. Sure, for most of us that would be enough. But wait, there’s more!
The staff is so cool and helpful. Yeah, they are mostly very cute boys, but they know their shit behind the bar too, and will give you suggestions for drinks based on what you like. Then you have the drag shows. So awesome. Amazing talent in the form of singers and drag queens. What a great time. The food at the Kit Kat is also quite good. Go for their Happy Hour, but hang around for literally anything else happening here,

I love this place… the food, the drinks, the atmosphere is so worth going. I would’ve given them 5 stars but the service was the main downfall. They brought the wrong drinks and the kitchen was on some funny time clock that we became confused as to what time I would be able to order my meal. They changed servers as we were winding down and getting ready to leave and he was amazing! I guess it just depends on who is working the day on how your dining experience will be. Either way this is an amazing place and I hope they start putting their foot down to make sure all their servers are on top of their tables!

Bought dinner through Groupon and wasn’t sure what to expect. Let me tell you, the service was fantastic! The drinks were on point and the food was DELICIOUS! Hats off to the chef. I had the salmon and my girlfriends had the chicken/​waffle. The greens were seasoned wonderfully. Enjoyed the entertainment that was provided for the night. Ms. Mokha… love you honey! I will definitely go back again.

This place needs a makeover, terribly, in the form of training. Seriously, it’s a shame to see a place that has everything else together be so inconsiderate and inattentive. First of all, we made a reservation and were told that the fee to hold the table was $ 10. We learned after our meal that it was actually $ 10/​person. We also tried to order drinks but they literally brought us all the wrong drinks, missed some, it was a hot mess.
They didn’t know what they were doing. They offered us some entrees that belonged to other tables about 8 mins after we arrived. Um?
The drinks remained un-​refilled for great lengths of time until we flagged down a server to help. Heaven forbid that we need an extra napkin, hot sauce, or a coffee because it would be another 20 minutes for that.
The food was phenomenal. The drag show was fun. The space was on point. Had the service not been so awful, this place would’ve easily gotten 4 or 5 stars.
Oh well.

I have been here three times, brunch and dinner. It is a fun place! You see a performance while you eat. Brunch options are good. James Dean burger my favorite.

This place is super cute! They do drag performances every 30 mins which are very entertaining and fun! They have some of the best martinis you can find, and they are very unique! (And dangerous, they taste way too good!) I ordered the steak medallions when I went which were done perfectly and it was a nice size portion with pasta. I came with a large group of people and I made reservations. I suggest making reservations even if it’s just two people because this place gets packed and you will be waiting a long time if you just walk in, which in my opinion is a great thing, they know what they are doing! It’s not really big, it’s long with a little back room passed the bar and some seating in front and along the bar, it can feel cramped but it pulls it off at the same time, in the summer there’s outdoor seating too. I’ll be back in the summer for sure! They have groupons from time to time so keep a look out for those ! Highly recommend this place for a fun night out with friends :-) oh and service is extremely friendly!

I had a really really good time here tonight. A really good time. The entertainment was wonderful and on point. The Queen showed up and showed out tonight chile — and all while being beat to the Gods, might I add.
The food:
The food was pretty good. I had the Mae West which is fried chicken, greens and mashed potatoes with a waffle. The chicken was moist and the waffle was perfect. I could’ve passed on the braised greens and mash though; the greens were bland and the mashed potatoes were cold and dry (really dry). The drinks were pretty decent — try their Bloody Mary Martini as it was spiced just right, if you’re into that kind of thing. I also had a Long Island and a Kool-​it, and they were also pretty good.
The space:
This place isn’t big at all. Accordingly, the tables are all very scrunched together and the seating is pretty tight, whether you’re at the bar, a booth or a table. But, it’s a club/​lounge so I consider that par for course. Their bathroom was too cute and had very modern décor.
The service:
Omg the service was amazing. The guy waiters are TOO CUTE, all of them are freggin adorable!!! They were prompt, super sweet, knowledgable, accommodating and handsome. No complaints there.
The price:
We did a party pack, which is $ 60 per person and includes (per person) 2 drinks, dinner, 3 appetizers for the table, and desert for the table. As an aside, BRING CASH TO TIP THE PERFORMERS.
Parking:
Brutal. It’s Lakeview. The parking situation is eerily reminiscent of parking in Santa Monica. Anyway, you really have got to get there early our you’re gonna be walking mad blocks. If you can, alternately, take the redline and get off on Addison. You’ll just walk a couple blocks towards the lake and go left on Halstead and you’ll be there (5 – 7) min walk max).

Great place for happy hour or anytime. Came here with a friend on a Friday night and we had blast.
From 5:30−7 they had $ 4 Martinis and half off appetizers.
They have so many drinks to pick from!
The martinis were delicious and I ordered the shrimp tacos which was also good.
They had a drag show that started at about 6:30pm. We enjoyed the entire experience.
We plan to come again.

I’ve been here several times, but this is my first review. I took my mom for her birthday one year and she LOVED it. The food was surprisingly delicious I really didn’t go for the food, but when I say it was a welcome surprise it was! The martini’s are so tasty and fabulous (very strong) I can’t say enough about the performances (Applause, Applause, Applause) Terrific shows every 30mins. The Décor was fresh and modern, music was current and the staff was very helpful and attentive.
Psss.
Groupon has a awesome deal with a prefixed menu and drinks!!! Great time either way

Omar is awesome!!!
I was with a new friend who is not from Chicago, and she wanted something to do. She suggested maybe drinks and a movie. I was okay with that, but then she asked if I Groupon.
I checked and saw Kit Kat Club on there. I knew right then, if she’s down, this is where we’re headed.
The food and drink special was good, but when our server came and introduced himself, she asked for the full dinner and drink menu. We were on our way.
We had shrimp tacos and a few drinks off the main menu in addition to the martinis (Lady Gaga and Sasha Fierce) that were a part of our deal. IT WAS ALL SO TASTY!
Even though Omar confirmed that the gratuity was included, we tipped him some cash anyway. It was a fun, bright, awesome girl date!

Very fun girls night out! We used a Groupon and the service, food, and entertainment was amazing! We caught several performances from one performer. She really did a great job getting around to all the tables. Truly a fun experience!

Brunch is FANTASTIC! Not only is it a good deal (2 courses and unlimited brunch drinks for $ 30), but the service and entertainment is in point. If you are lucky enough to get Colin as a waiter, you’ll be VERY lucky. The guy was serving about every table in the joint, and my mimosa glass was always full, and I felt very well served. The entertainment is also awesome, with a singing diva that looked absolutely fabulous. Highly recommend!

I came here with low expectations because of the negative Unilocal reviews, but I was blown away. Our server, I think his name was Joel?, was SO nice. I don’t think I’ve had better service than from him. The place was really clean. I kinda expected it to be dirty and sticky, but it was spotless with nice décor. I would love to go back if I’m ever in Chicago again. The performer was nice too. She only did 2 songs, but that’s ok. I was fully amused for those 10 minutes. The bacon truffle Mac and cheese was pretty good. The rest of the food was just ok. But I think everything else makes up for it. Thanks Kit Kat Lounge !

I came here for the first time with some girlfriends and it was an awful experience. My friends had bought Groupons which consisted of a martini, appetizer, and entrée. We were seated in the far back table in the back room and there were open tables in the front room which I didn’t notice until we were walking out. I’m not sure why we were seated in the back, maybe because we had Groupons? Either way, service was pretty awful and our server was pretty snotty. As for the drag show, it was disappointing because the main action happens in the front room and they only came in the back room for literally a minute. Plus the show was supposed to be every hour but while we were there we only saw one performer and they came out for only 2 songs on the hours… what’s the point? I wouldn’t recommend coming here, I hear the Baton is much better even if it is a dirtier version of the Kit Kat Lounge. Also the food here was pretty bad and I wouldn’t come here for supper.

Went here on a Groupon for my birthday for a ladies night. Entertainment was a 5+ service was pretty good, very friendly waiter, no hassle on the Groupon, as most places treat you like your tryna pay for your food with «link», drinks were okay, good deal on Sunday night ½ off drinks/​apps, food was meh… but after a few martinis I would’ve eaten cardboard. I ordered the Mae west, the banana sauce was delish, potatoes were good waffles were good but the fried chicken was soggy & the skin was falling off… it was missing that delicious hard crust that crunches when you bite into it! Overall, it was pretty fun, great for ladies night as you can sing your heart break away with female empowering love songs

½ price martinis were AWESOME! Wednesday is the day to go, and this place is so small that it always appears busy.
Such a random place too. Looks boring and kinda dirty outside but definitely somewhere to check out.

Very unique place. We came on a night where they had a burger/​beer special, as well as half off martinis. I got some whiskey drink which was real good — didn’t eat though. The drink menu is enormous though, if you don’t find something you like, then something is wrong with you!
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, didn’t take too long to get our drinks and food. The show was definitely an experience… I’m not sure if I would go back anytime soon, but I thought it was a great thing to experience in Chicago. People were having tons of fun and I’m glad I came.

This place was so much fun! We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The waiter was kind of busy but very informative. The drink selection was extensive and fun.
I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the food here, but it was really quite good! The burger has to be one of the best I’ve had… seriously! It was SO good.
The show was good too. She was dressed to the nines and looked amazing. Made her way slowly around the restaurant giving plenty of time to each table.
I think my friend got this as a groupon so we headed on out for no special reason other than to check it out. The place is somewhat small, but still a great atmosphere. We really had a good time, good meal and good drinks.

Night out with girls for my bestie 30^th birthday! Good show. My first drag show and highly entertaining… I learned a few moves :-) Very friendly environment. The food was ok moderately priced. It was $ 30 per person in a group of 4 and it includes appetizers (I think 2 or 3), main entrée (I had salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus), with one drink. I had the Lady Gaga very good with a cute keepsake glow stick.

All in all a great «occasion» stop. Bring your brides-​to-​be or birthday buddies for a great lip sync show.
The entire experience is built around their all inclusive menu. $ 49 per person gives you three appetizers to share, your choice of three entrees and two sweet martinis.
There’s a lip-​syncher that comes out about every 15 or 20 minutes. They do two songs and really ramped the crowd up. Their costumes are straight out of Hollywood. Their bodies are absolutely amazing.
This is a great place to start your first tour of boys town.

I was underwhelmed by Kit Kat Lounge. Judging from what I had seen on the website, I guess I expected something better.
I came here for my friend’s bachelorette party and there were 2 other bachelorette and a birthday party already there. The service was average and they had a scantily clad young man walk around offering test tube shots.
I was most disappointed with the drag queen performer. It seemed that she only paid attention to the table and even though we were tipping her, she barely paid attention to us. Maybe Chicago drag queens are just different performers than the ones I have seen in Columbus and St. Louis?
The food was pretty good but not good enough for the price they charge, especially considering the performance was not as exciting as I was expecting. They also charged us for 9 meals even though 1 person left before the server even came around to take our food and drink orders. My portion with tip was $ 60 and I did not feel like I got $ 60 worth of food + entertainment from the 2 hours we were there.

We had a perfectly amazing time at Kit Kat. I feel like I have no expectations of a drag queen place to serve good drinks or good food, because I expect the entertainment to be the focus. BUT, Kit Kat pretty much has it all.
Loved the performer. She was fun, talented, and had lots and lots of costumes. I loved that they do about 15 minute breaks in between performances — gives you time to talk and drink.
The food was excellent. I had the chicken and waffles, and it rivaled the other best chicken and waffles I’ve had (in Houston). Their portions are generous.
We did the bottomless mimosas and bottomless Bloody Mary martinis. They poured strong, and poured often.
All in all, this place is a total winner. Congrats to the owners and crew for creating this institution.

I come here with friends for their Sunday Brunch often and I always have a great time. The food is delicious and the booze package is on point! With the Sunday Brunch you had two options
1) $ 29.95 for bottomless mimosas/​Bloody Marys/​bellinis or sangrias with a biscuit and the choice of 3 entrees (Divalicious Bruch prix fixe)
2) You pick what you want off the Divalicious Brunch menu and can add the bottomless mimosas/​Blood Marys/​bellinis or sangrias for $ 14.95
Along with the great food here they also have a performer (Drag Queen) who is there for your entertainment. The singing isn’t the best, but the overall effect is good.
Give it a try folks!

So, while visiting my friend in Chicago, we wanted to go to a different bar and she also wanted to experience something different than a typical hipster Boston bar.
We entered and I was already in awe! This place was great! I enjoyed everything about it! The ambience, the drinks and the area! The music was good and they always played a good beat! I did not want to stop dancing!

As a first timer here, I will try not to be too critical but I’ll start off by saying I’m disappointed we didn’t get a show.
I called to make a reservation and the sweet voice on the phone said Wednesday at 7pm was a perfect time to arrive before the 730pm show and took my name and phone number to hold our spot.
Since Kit Kat is in Boystown and street parking is the only option, we decided to arrive early. We arrived at 6pm and they easily accommodated us as we were literally the only ones there.
Our super cute server brought us menus right away and didn’t change his demeanor when we said we were here on a Groupon. (HUGE plus for this as I’ve experienced other venues getting upset that I’m using a Groupon.) Although all the severs are not looking to take a lady home at the end of the evening, they sure are very easy on the eyes and sweet as honey to all the patrons.
The atmosphere appears to be high fashion with their silver benches, zebra print chairs, white table cloths and pink/​purple lighting. However, you can dress up or down to your liking for Kit Kat Lounge as there is no dress code. The walls are covered in projector screens showing cartoons such as The Pink Panther and old timey Christmas cartoons (Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman!)
The food came out quickly and the waiter continued to visit our table with regular frequency to ensure our comfort and refill our water glasses (major plus!)
We ordered the Cesar salad, the salmon over mashed potatoes and broccoli, the burger with fries and two delicious martinis. Unfortunately, the food along with never seeing a show (which, as we were told, was cancelled last minute) is where Kit Kat loses stars… the lettuce in our salad was old. Like a few days old, wilted and not crunchy at all. The burger seemed to be cooked to my date’s liking but not very flavorful and although my salmon was good, the broccoli was way overcooked and wilted as well as the cabbage underneath. I’m still not sure if I was supposed to eat the cabbage or not…
We came here for good food and entertainment, none of which we were given. I cannot speak badly of the atmosphere or the staff, those were great! But I wish someone had told us before we made plans and reservations that there would be no show.

Vogue.
Market Days weekend is huge in Chicago and most fitting for a drag brunch. I remembered Kit Kat for its weekday specials and learned they have a phenom brunch special of biscuits + entrée + bottomless bloody/​sangria/​mimosas = $ 30! You could also pick a different entrée and just add the unlimited drink for $ 15. You can switch between the drink options too. Can it get any better? Um yeah, there’s a great drag show!
I was expecting the common corny drag songs: «it’s raining men,» «vogue» or something Madonna, late 90s and with pointy boobs. This completely blew me away. The performer had awesome, detailed costumes and performed current Rihanna, Iggy, Malefecent songs along with the classics. The performer even came and chatted with us between her songs. She was so cool and gave us tips for the fest.
I had the crab cake benny and hubby had steak skillet. He said his steak was off the chain and my cakes were solid. I didn’t do the bottomless because I was dealing with a cold but everyone definitely got their money’s worth. The server was very attentive and made sure to top off everyone’s drinks all the time.
I would definitely suggest this for any weekend that you want the most drink for your buck and an awesome, fun environment to do it.

I am SO incredibly impressed with this Brunch Venue! Here’s my story:
I got an invite on FB for a Drag Queen Brunch taking place on 08÷09÷14, before Northalsted Market Days. I thought, why not? I’ve never done something related to drags and it was walking distance to the fest. Katy’s down for this adventure!
I walked in with a MASSIVE hangover from a Friday night blues smash sesh. When I looked around, OMG! The décor is BEAUTIFUL. Shiny, silver, comfortable big booths/​tables, with Zebra accent chairs and disco balls galore. I knew instantly I was in store for a good time!
I looked at the menu, unlimited mimosas/​bloodys, two course meal for $ 40! ummm, yes please! I ordered the biscuit n honey butter and the steak/​eggs dish. The food was phenomenal. I usually DESPISE bloody mary’s but friend convinced me to try hers. I ordered about six (no joke) after trying hers. In.freaking.LOVE!
The service was great. The server was nice, attentive, and oh so very patient with my drunk ass that broke a glass (lol, fail!) But what is most important, you ask?
The drag queen. She was phenomenal. I’ve never been to a brunch that has a live performer giving us such amazing entertainment. She had us all singing along and dancing and taking lots of pics! She was über sweet and quite lovely on the eyes, if you ask me.
I will definitely be taking my out-​of-​town friends here EVERY TIME they come! amazing experience and seriously the best brunch I’ve had… EVER.

Shocker! I went here for a bachelorette party! When I went on a Friday night around 10pm, it was all women in attendance throughout the Kit Kat Lounge. This is a place bachelorette parties, birthday parties and just groups of women in general come to let loose.
With our package, we got a tray full of delicious desserts plus 2 drinks each. The dessert tray was comprised of cupcakes, pies & cake slices and rest assured we devoured it all. They have more martini options than I think I’ve ever seen in my life. A lot of them were really creative and cool. The Lady Gaga comes with a glowstick! It really doesn’t get better than that for a bunch of drunken bachelorette party girls. There’s also a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup martini with a little peanut butter cup in it. They know what girls like!
The performers are divine! Seriously they get their groove on and are fabulous at involving the audience. Bring your dollah bills y’all and show your gratitude for the hardworking ladies! My only gripe was we were there for three performances (they happened on the hour for about 15 minutes) and it was the same lady for all 3 performances. I would have liked to see a bit more variety.
Some kind of strange porn or something is playing on the walls throughout. All the servers were very nice and super quick, plus accommodating in letting us switch tables.
Pro-​Tip: You want a seat in the front half of the lounge, that’s where all the action goes down.
