A self-described location where guests' "senses are stirred, not shaken," Martini Park in Chicago was opened by entrepreneur Chris Barish as a place where the 30s and older crowd could enjoy an evening out beyond the traditional nightclub scene. Since its opening in 2007, the Park has attracted celebrity clientele such as NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and actor James Marsden.
Guests can enjoy sharable plates and top-notch cocktails on the wrap-around patio or indoors lounging among dark wood and natural stone accents. Food favorites include the Kobe beef sliders, smoked salmon poppers, and surf and turf nachos, while drink specialties include the Honeydew This of Skyy Melon, Midori and honeydew puree and the Black Cherry Fizz of Effen Black cherry vodka, Chambord and fresh sour.
The bar is available for private events. Martini Park is open Monday through Friday from 5 PM to 2 AM and Saturday from 5 PM to 3 AM. Food prices range from $7 to $16. For more information: 312-475-0505
