The Pink Polo Social Club & Bar

Red River Dicks, a Black-Owned Country Western Bar, Is Opening River North | Eater Chicago

"A daytime coffee shop and co-working hub that morphs into an over-the-top cocktail den by night, this River North venue is designed as an approachable private club for remote workers and groups without a permanent home. Located inside the Chicago Collection hotel, the space—a chic blend of industrial elements with Persian rugs and leather seating—will offer meeting rooms, espresso drinks, a dining room for about 60, and a marble-tile bar seating roughly a dozen. After hours the team plans an “extremely ambitious” cocktail program channeling the exuberance of 2000s cocktail culture alongside a small-plates menu featuring items like butter-poached ceviche and a Peruvian take on nachos, all intended to make the operation both a daytime productivity hub and a destination nightlife spot." - Naomi Waxman
