"Maybe you’re trying to impress a date. Maybe you need a change of scenery after your boss spelled your name wrong in an email for the seventeenth time. Whatever the predicament, sometimes the solution is a night spent sipping a well-made cocktail in a semi-classy environment. That’s when you head to Vesper in Glenwood Park. The drink menu is James Bond-themed (don’t worry the dress code is come as you are). There are fruity options like the Pussy Galore and more straightforward ones like Bond’s signature vodka martini. Bond fans will think it’s fun. Non-fans won’t get the references but will still appreciate kicking back on one of the comfy couches with a drink that tastes like something an A-lister might drink. If your mission doesn’t involve alcohol, Vesper has a sizable selection of tasty mocktails (labeled 00 proof cocktails, get it?)." - Juli Horsford
