Kit Kat Lounge

"As people who spend an outsized amount of time in costume, drag performers tend to have strong opinions about Halloween. But Kit Kat, the longstanding drag bar and restaurant in Northalsted, is fully embracing the holiday with a Spooktacular Drag Brunch on Saturday, October 26. There are three seatings and tickets (starting at $69 and available via Eventbrite) three-course prix fixe and free-flowing brunch drinks for 2 hours per seating." - Lisa Shames, Eater Staff

"I’m ashamed to say it took me a few years to finally get inside this bar because it turned out I was missing an absolute party right in the heart of Northalsted. With its flashy West Hollywood feel and an incredible group of daily rotating drag queens, I always leave here feeling 100% more fabulous, just by association. This restaurant and bar has been a staple of the area for over two decades and continues to be one of those spots I try to make all of my friends go to with me every weekend. All the drinks come with a little bit of flair, including some with glow sticks, and the food, like their chicken and waffles, is some of the best in the neighborhood. Make sure you make a reservation because this place gets busy." - abby keller
