Z Bar

"The atmosphere is as striking as the cocktails at Z Bar, a recently opened terrace lounge on the sixth floor of the Peninsula Hotel. Take in panoramic Magnificent Mile views while enjoying the luxe surroundings, including dramatic skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows, and velvet-cushioned seating. At cocktail hour, order the Z, the bar’s signature drink of gin, cucumber, bergamot, and mint—or for something a bit more showy, try the Disco Fever, a large disco ball bowl of vodka, Champagne, and passionfruit juice that serves up to six guests. Pair your drink with any of the kitchen’s globally inspired dishes, such as Korean chili chicken wings or Malaysian-style satay with shishito peppers and ginger."
