AfterBar

"A sibling bar to Ever, opened in 2022, known for its exceptional drinks curated by sommelier Michael Muser." - Ashok Selvam

"Is it a chic dinner lounge or an elevated cocktail parlor? The answer is yes. After is the companion space to chef Curtis Duffy’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Ever. It’s the ideal atmosphere in which to sip an ice-cold Martini with caviar, but if you’re not feeling the classics, steer toward “food-inspired cocktails” such as the Garden of Gin, which jazzes up a Japanese expression of the namesake spirit with red onions and pickled tomatoes — an umami delight." - Brad Japhe

"Afterbar is a cocktail lounge in the West Loop with a bright modern interior, a spacious patio, and a great cocktail list. We particularly like the Payday Millionaire, a play on an Old Fashioned made with bourbon, rum, and creme de banana for a slight hint of vanilla and banana flavor. Since it's mainly surrounded by offices and only open Monday-Friday, it’s not a place that’ll make it onto your weekend bar crawl plans. But if you work in the area, or are pulling up at Union Station across the street, Afterbar is a reliable choice." - John Ringor

"Adult beverages will take center stage in September when another component, Afterbar, opens." - Ashok Selvam
