Adorable place, DELICIOUS martinis, friendly bartenders. Most of the live music is good, especially Ed Collins. Highly recommended.

Strawberry Moon succeeds on so many levels. While small and simply decorated and furnished, it's emphasis is on entertainment and expertly mixed cocktails. The service at the bar or at tables is consistently exceptional and friendly. Always a pleasure to tip well here because the service is just that good. Live music is varied and kept at a perfect level so that you can still talk and enjoy. We visit Strawberry Moon often but have stopped going for the appetizers, which are unremarkable-but tasty, small portions and priced way too high. The value just isn't there. Crab dip, pretzel bites, fondue w/crab, cheese/fruit plate, duck confit. Note to owners: Ramp up the portions 20% to offset the price because ordering several apps is a deterrent for anyone that isn't a die hard 'Mooner'. Switch it up, too.

Great service and a good time! We finally decided to try Strawberry Moon. It's a little awkward walking in...everyone seems to know each other and since most of the tables by the door were reserved we didn't know where to sit or if we should seat ourselves or not. After we asked, we took the table in the back corner and it was a great spot to people watch. We started with a glass of wine and a martini. The martini was smooth and served in a chilled glass. At about 8 pm the band started playing and the lights dimmed low. The musical duo on tonight was really good and fit the atmosphere perfectly. It seemed people were there to see them and everyone was enjoying themselves. It isn't a college crowd here it's a more relaxed, adult crowd. We ordered the beer cheese fondue because we came there to try the fondue specifically. It was good, but the cheese took a while to warm up so we ate a lot of it cold since we were really hungry. We finished with a chocolate fondue which was served warm and came with strawberries, angel food cake, pretzels, and marshmallows. It was delicious! We'd highly recommend this dessert. I could have had the white chocolate too! As we were finishing, a man that appeared to be the owner noticed us and it seemed like he knew we hadn't been there before. He came right over and shook Ben's hand while making some small talk. It was a nice way to end the night. Our service from both bartenders was excellent all night too. They did a great job. We left happily and will definitely be back for more chocolate fondue!

Strawberry Moon is a cute martini bar that has live music and a few eats. We didn't have any food, but it sounded so good! They have some martinis that are on special (we tried the Georgia Mule and the regular Moscow Mule). We all said the drinks were very good. It's a small place the some outdoor seating upstairs. The service was good, your waitress was nice and friendly. I would definitely come back here!

Love this little bar. Great Martini's and fondu. Great wait staff. Feels like you are in a different city. Who knew such a great little place hidden in Waconda Illinois.

Great little bar in downtown Wauconda. Came here tonight (Friday). It was full but not crowded at 6pm. They have a fun drink menu plus all of the standards. They also have appetizers and nibbles. The flatbread pizza was really good and the fondu was pretty good too. Service was great too. Very friendly :). Didn't stay to hear the band, but love live music. We would definitely come back.

Went to Strawberry Moon when they opened Saturday with a group of 7 of us.......the martini selection is very good which I'd expect from a martini bar. The quality of the martinis was excellent, I had the mango martini made with mango puree, it was incredible! They also serve beers which was nice for a couple of our group who preferred that to drink, beer selection was decent. We sampled several appetizers (pretzel bites w/sauces, cheese and charcuterie platter, crab dip) everything was excellent - portions are a bit on the small side for the prices, but they were delicious.......just be prepared to spend some money. What really stands out though is the excellent service from the bartender Craig as well as the warm greeting and attention to details by the owner.....she really has a lot of pride in the place and it shows! We'll definitely be back!

Quaint little tiny place. Really good martini's, my friend and I tried 3 different ones and they were all delicious. I agree with the other reviewer that appetizers are very pricey for the portion. They had a great duo singing last night, but they were very loud. It was almost impossible to hold a conversation, the volume must have been at top notch. Overall, it's a cute, different place. We'll be back.

My girlfriend and I went here on a Friday night. There was no one greeting at the door, so I picked a table and sat down to wait for her. I was flanked on all sides by different groups of "sex in the city (suburbs)" diva girls. Guess this is a trendy place for Wauconda. Our server was very slow, but she was extremely friendly. She and the bartender went out of their way to concoct martini's for us that weren't on the menu, but catered to our tastes. The menu is somewhat limited. We had the fondue, which was good, but only came with bread or apples. Mealy apples. I asked if we could possibly get some type of veggie.... broccoli, cauliflower perhaps? Nope... they didn't have any. For a low-carber, I had no choice, which was disappointing. All in all, I would probably give it another try. It wasn't very busy, so on one hurried us, and the drinks were reasonably priced.

Stopped by here during a week night to listen to their live music (we were specifically visiting to check out a guitarist for our wedding). I hadn't heard of this place but it's only been open since the beginning of the year, and from the look of the inside it seems it was completely gutted and renovated; the paint and wood still had a tinge of new smell to it. We sampled a pretty good portion of their menu as we enjoyed the live music for a few hours, my fiancée going for the signature Strawberry Moon martini which tasted pretty good to me. The beer selection is a bit on the weak side, mostly bottled (possibly ALL bottles as I did not notice any taps behind the bar, but I could be mistaken) but they did have a few good micro-brew options (Dogfish Head 60-Minute, Bell's Amber, Sam Adams, etc). My only compliant would be since they are bottled beers that they branch out to provide a few more micro-brew choices, but maybe the current clientèle drives the abundance of watered-down macro-brews they have (after all it is a Martini bar). The food menu is small, but had some good variety to it. We tried the pretzel bites which came with 4 different dipping sauces (horseradish, honey mustard, ranch, and queso) and nice presentation. Also the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone moist with a tangy soy-ginger sauce and some steamed veggies on the side. That dish seemed more like an entree (not in size) as it was a bit odd as a sharing plate. We finished off the night with the chocolate fondue which, hey how can you mess-up melted chocolate, brownies, marshmallows, and strawberries? The kitchen seemed a little small (reflective of the menu) so I do not think that much of the items were scratch made (if any), most are probably store-bought but the pork was cooked very well regardless. Over all it is not someplace I would head specifically for dinner, but if you go for drinks and are hungry they have some good options. The decor and seating was nice and although there were a few loud groups the music was still easy to hear. They also used an internal security camera to show the guitarist on the various plasma screens above the bar and upstairs which I thought was a nice touch. Service was very good and both staff and patrons were friendly. I am curious if it gets busier on the weekend but I'm not sure if downtown Wauconda has any sort of 'nightlife' on the weekends. Hopefully they get the traffic needed to stay around as it's a nice little addition the NW suburbs.

We tried Strawberry Moon as part of a "happy hour" special event this week. Very pleased with all aspects of our visit- good service, good specialty drinks and good small plate items. We especially enjoyed their cheese and fruit plate which was beautifully presented and tasty. We learned that the upstairs is available for private parties and special occasions; probably worth noting for those party planners reading this. I feel that Strawberry Moon is certainly worth putting on your "to try" list for after work or late night cocktails.

I'm a fan of Strawberry Moon. I enjoy the creativity of their cocktails and the waitresses are always attentive. I've been here three times with some girlfriends and each time we have a lot of fun.They are a bit pricey for the Wauconda area, but things are stepping up this way as they seem to be turning Wauconda into a bit more of a resort/tourist type town. Which I don't mind since that means fun restaurants and nice bands at the bars. The food is lacking, so I wouldn't bother too much with the appetizers. Definitely eat somewhere else (Lindy's or Slyce) beforehand and then end your night at Strawberry Moon.
