    One of the first and still one of the best cocktail bars in Chicago. Come here in the early evening for chief mixologist Cristiana DeLucca’s full attention and unbelievable, hand-crafted cocktails.

    You will have no problem bellying up to the bar at this modern restaurant and culinary cocktail lounge with an unmatched drink program, led by Cristiana DeLucca.

    This subterranean cocktail lounge turns out imaginative elixirs. Open until 4 a.m. on Saturdays, it's one of the few options for late-night fare like bacon-wrapped pork belly and fried avocados. Read more

    The O’Leary’s Cow, a bitter mix of Old Weller 107 bourbon, Campari, Fernet and coffee liqueur with a rinse of peaty Laphroaig, is—like most drinks here—perfectly complex. http://tmoutchi.us/13EV7jr Read more

    This place is incredible, can't speak highly enough. The mixologists were excellent and the drinks are top notch. Perfect late night setting in downtown Chicago.

    Awesome cocktails. Great food. Pleasant staff. This place has it all. Try the smoky Tequila drink, hushpuppies, and duck breast. You will not be disappointed.

    Tasty drinks! Escargot and mushroom lasagna are perfection. Beware of NY Strip entree... there's some sort of sauce/seasoning on there that tastes funky. I haven't found one person that likes it yet!

    The Old Man, the Monk, and the Sea was my favorite drink in the city. Now it's off the menu, and they don't have all the ingredients to make it. WAMP.

    If you're a fan of bourbons with rich, smoky flavor, O'Leary's Cow would be an excellent choice. Your mouth will thank you later.

    The bar in this restaurant is top notch, but there are literally 8 seats. Bartenders are skilled, but not pretentious. A friendly place to step out of your cocktail comfort zone.

    Eater says try the Red Bush ($13), made with rooibos infused Scotch "rocks", Cointreau, cinnamon syrup, and fresh lemon sour.

    Great place to go late at night after you leave your respective night spot....I always find myself more than wasted when I leave le passage, but I do have a good time.

    Go for the three-course meal. Great food. Also, get one of the specialty drinks here. The bartenders actually are worthy of the title "mixologist" and they're some of the best around.

    Must-try cocktail: Eve's Answer. Reposado tequila, mezcal mist, raisin syrup, cider, and cinnamon. It makes margaritas jealous.

    Do take a leap of faith with your cocktail + order something out of the ordinary . You will be rewarded. Love the cocktail amuse bouche that sometimes greets you on arrival.

    Go to the Drawing Room, tell the server or mixologist what flavors you like, and watch them create a cocktail for you from scratch!
