The 8 Best Bars in Chicago | Bon Appétit

"Opened by a James Beard Award–winning chef as a cocktail lounge that honors Mexican spirits and family matriarchs, this spot pairs mesquite-style woodwork, monstera-leaf decor, and hand-stitched embroidery with blackened windows that invite a fully immersive experience. The bar program leans into lesser-known agave spirits—think small-batch fire-roasted raicilla and bacanora—alongside rare tequilas and mezcals, while the food menu offers comforting small bites like melty chicken and tomatillo salsa tamales and a sea bass ceviche with habanero slivers set atop a velvety leche de tigre." - ByKristin Braswell
