Menus designed to fit your brand, guests, and goals. Every drink costed and tested for speed before it goes on the menu.How it works
Chicago bar consulting. Your best bartender can't work every shift.
Unfiltered Hospitality provides beverage consulting for restaurants, hotels, and bars in Chicago, Illinois. We are based in Miami and fly in to build menus, work through bar systems, and train your team on site.
The recipe needs to work on their night off.
Our Chicago bar consulting covers cocktail menus, recipe costing, prep systems, and bartender training. You've got somebody who knows every recipe, keeps the prep moving, and catches mistakes before the drinks go out. Great person to have. But if the whole bar depends on them being there, their day off becomes your problem. We put the specs, prep quantities, and opening checks where the rest of the team can use them. Then we make and taste the drinks together on site, with manager support between visits.
Chicago bar teams and restaurant groups
Give every shift a menu it can serve.
We help Chicago independent bars, restaurants, hotel teams, and groups that need the drinks to stay consistent across shifts or locations. You might be training an opening team or trying to figure out why the same cocktail comes back different every time you order it. We work with the people making the drinks and the managers checking them, so a recipe change gets taught before the next service.

Proof
We run a bar ourselves, in Miami.
The Sylvester is the bar we own and run in Miami. Our office is in Hialeah, Florida, and we fly in for consulting work with Chicago teams. See our results page for national client projects and the services delivered. There is no Chicago project listed in that portfolio today. Our operating experience starts at home, where the next shift still needs the recipes, prep, and training to do the job.
