Where to Drink Cocktails Right Now in Chicago

"A boozy sister spot to family-friendly Lebanese restaurant Medi in Lincoln Park, Mya by Medi aims to tap into a resurgence of downtown nightlife. A sleek and narrow cocktail bar — it’s the former Martini Lounge space — that features live belly dancers and fire performers on weekends, it’s a comfortable alternative to the din of clubby Chicago drinking spots with aesthetically striking cocktails like the mezcal-based Smoke Show, which is immersed in smoke under a glass bell jar. It also offers an ever-evolving food menu from Lebanese American executive chef Alexander Willis (Dusek’s, Mordecai)." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

That was our first stop for a birthday celebration. Loved the look the ambiance the entertainment. There are not a lot of food choices. We ordered all of the appetizers, and some are good, but most of them are very salty. I loved that every 20 minutes, a belly dancer is coming up to entertain. Overall, it was a good experience.

We ordered just about everything on the happy hour menu (Wed-Fri 4-6pm). The $20 happy hour burger is incredible.. Two Patties, juicy, full of flavor & comes with the tastiest fries (light, thin and crispy). The HH $8 espresso martini is regular serving size and has a unique smoky/earthy flavor from the Arabic coffee. Potato borak was simple but really good. I heard there’s a belly dancer in the evenings on the weekend. Definitely coming back! If you go during happy hour, the cocktail lounge May not be as busy and can be on the quiet side for those who enjoy a more relaxed vibe.

Mya is one of the SEXIEST restaurants I have visited in Chicago. Recently opened this past October, this NEW, modern Mediterranean restaurant in Rivernorth is definitely an experience, with their FIRE DANCERS, speciality cocktails and BEAUTIFUL decor! Eats I tried: Baba Ghanoush Potato Borak Grilled Octous BBQed Half Chicken Biryani Ora King Salmon Ricotta Fritter Drinks I tried: Smoke Show - made with Mezcal! Apple of my Eye - includes Basil Hayden & Apple Syrup I can’t even pick a dish that was my favorite because everything was so full of flavor! I’m such a fan of Mediterranean food and the flavor composition of these dishes were just awesome. The presentation of the dishes as well were top-notch! The skin on the salmon was cooked so crispy, and the meat was so soft; it melted in your mouth! The potato borak was excellent -fried dough full of seasoned mashed potatoes! I LOVED THE DRINKS! They were very well made and creative and they have quite a few specialty cocktails to try! You also didn’t have to worry about missing out on entertainment, because the fire dancer came out about every 30 minutes or so; she also switched up and danced with scarves! Definitely a Mediterranean experience! Perfect for a date night or girls night out - make a reservation and experience Mya yourself!

Mya by Medi is my new favorite spot in town ! This place is a total vibe with the aesthetic decor, amazing service, and fabulous food and drinks. We had the Labne, Fattoush, Steak Frites, Branzino, and Ricotta Fritter. Loved everything we tried. The menu has quite a few vegetarian options. The drink menu is fantastic and sure to catch your eye. This is the perfect place for a GNO and date night. You can't miss the live performance at the restaurant. Dinner and a show 10/10.

I finished my dinner by the time I wrote this. The food was fantastic. The drinks are very good as well. There was a dancer that would come by the tables which added to the cool atmosphere. Overall good experience will definitely be back. Nyla was my server and she was amazing.
