"For a night of revelry, celeb-spotting, and elevated comfort food, head to Kevin Kelley’s Kitchen + Kocktails in River North. Whether you’re hanging at the massive marble bar or tucked into a cushy banquette, pair perfectly fried chicken and shrimp and grits with one of the lounge’s colorful, creative cocktails. For something to match the mood, go for the mystical Black Magic cocktail that brings together botanical BOMBAY SAPPHIRE with punchy ingredients like Italian bitter apéritif, lemon juice, and blackberry puree (made from locally sourced blackberries), all served with smoky dry ice." - Ariel Kanter
