"Moonflower is a dimly lit, spacious Portage Park bar that’s ideal for a low-key group hang or date. The cocktail menu has a mix of solid classics like Old Fashioneds and negronis, but the draw is the more unique drinks like a mezcal and tequila cocktail that's mixed with Milkis. They have snacks like monthly-rotating deviled eggs and hot dogs from their resident pop-up, Funeral Potatoes. The plant-filled space has a great funky soundtrack, but the music is never too loud that you’ll have to resort to texting the person sitting next to you. Plus, Moonflower is actually a great bar twofer, since they also have a more intimate basement bar, Nightshade, with its own creative drink menu." - adrian kane, john ringor
