FAQ

Still Kind is a Chicago brand about showing up for each other. We make things that start real conversations, we host Show Up Nights at local bars, and we put mental health at the center of all of it. Bar Services is how we keep the lights on.

Still Kind takes people who are passionate about a cause and gives them the platform to help support it. We at Still Kind do not care who you are, what you believe in, or what race, nationality, or gender you are. If you are passionate about community and making a difference, this is exactly where you need to be.

This matters most. My name is Madison and I am the founder of Still Kind. I founded this company with the intention of facilitating likeminded passionate people with the necessary support within the community to succeed. As I went through something that personally tore me apart, made me reevaluate the life I wanted to live and what was most important, there was one thing that stayed true. That was community and the kindness that showed up everyday within that. We all have our own community and our own struggles. I have designed Still Kind to be a company that facilitates community through charity and hospitality partnerships, highlighting local meet ups and gatherings, and being in the forefront of the movement of kindness. This starts with me and this Still Kind community. I am more than excited to have you join us and help all of us to show up at our best every day, regardless of how rough life tends to be.

Every dollar from our Show Up Nights fundraiser link goes straight to Hope For The Day — 100%, no cut taken. On top of that, 86% of profits from every Still Kind Beanie, our winter go-to, goes to Hope For The Day's 86 the Silence initiative. The rest of what we bring in goes back into running Still Kind: the outreach, the Show Up Nights, and keeping this conversation going in hospitality.

Still Kind has no set operational hours. We come from years in the hospitality space, so late nights and early mornings are just kind of assumed at this point. We are here when you need us!

A night at a Chicago bar built around a cause. Good people, a merch table by the door, and a real reason to get out of the house. The last one, Pour It Forward, generated 3,500+ meals for The Friendship Center.

Not even a little. Every Show Up Night has real zero-proof drinks on the menu, made with the same care as everything else. Come for the people.

Yes. We bring the cause, the crowd and the merch table. You bring the room. Tell us about your space.

Yes — that's kind of the whole point. A group thing, a team order, a gift for your person (or your people), a design idea you've been sitting on — if it's cool and it means something, we want to help you make it real. Tell us what you're picturing.

No. We're a brand and a community, not a clinic. We talk about mental health because it matters, and we point people to real help. For support any time, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. To find a therapist, your doctor or insurance provider is a good place to start.

Please reach out now. Call or text 988 any time, day or night. It's free and confidential. If you're in immediate danger, call 911.
