@eater

"This richly decorated boho-themed restaurant and cocktail lounge (a sibling to the original Beatnik in West Town) has no trouble luring diners to its 80-seat patio overlooking the Chicago River. Patrons can expect to lounge on daybed seating amid lush greenery, and still remain dry when the skies grow cloudy." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
