Chicago, Illinois
Chicago's queer non-alcoholic haven for tea and community
Eli Tea Bar in Andersonville is Chicago’s non-alcoholic queer haven, pouring loose-leaf teas, bubble tea, chai and kombucha made without syrups or artificial ingredients. Plush communal tables and a cozy back seating area welcome solo study sessions or lively hangouts, while weekly Open Mic Fridays, Trivia Tuesdays and Arts & Crafts Nights keep conversation brewing late into the evening.
