Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar

The culinary geniuses behind beloved Chicago restaurants Giant and City Mouse offer hot takes on orange chicken, crab shumai, moo shu pork and other crave-worthy Chinese-American takeout classics at Chef's Special Cocktail Bar in Bucktown. Wash it down with a pour from the tight list of wines by the glass or a selection from the cocktail menu, which includes refreshing sippers that showcase ingredients like green tea gin, orange blossom syrup and fresh lime leaf. The roster of funky cocktails will draw you in, but a late-night order of lo mein will keep the party going into the wee hours of the morning.
