"Live music is central to the identity of Clara, a newish cocktail bar in Wicker Park named for 19th-century pianist and composer Clara Schumann. Longtime friends and more recent business partners Julia Galgon and Ryan Garvey are particularly focused on classical and jazz performances though funk bands and even the occasional tap dancer are known to take the stage. It’s a mellow spot to bask in dulcet tones and sip natural wine or cocktails like a Windy City Iced Tea with dark rum and Jeppson’s Malört." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
