"When: Mon-Thurs 9pm-10pm The Deal: $9 Martinis, $8 Wine, $6 Beer, $5-8 Snacks If you’re a vegan night owl, or just want some tasty Asian-inspired, plant-based food, head to Planta Queen. At this buzzy River North spot, you can wrap up a date night with a nightcap martini, or pre-game some bar-hopping with firecracker cauliflower wings and spicy “tuna” hand rolls made with watermelon." - john ringor
