Where to Drink Cocktails Right Now in Chicago

"A boozy sister spot to family-friendly Lebanese restaurant Medi in Lincoln Park, Mya by Medi aims to tap into a resurgence of downtown nightlife. A sleek and narrow cocktail bar — it’s the former Martini Lounge space — that features live belly dancers and fire performers on weekends, it’s a comfortable alternative to the din of clubby Chicago drinking spots with aesthetically striking cocktails like the mezcal-based Smoke Show, which is immersed in smoke under a glass bell jar. It also offers an ever-evolving food menu from Lebanese American executive chef Alexander Willis (Dusek’s, Mordecai)." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
