The Top 7 Cocktail Bars Near Pacific Standard Time

  1. Rank 1. Kumiko

    Japanese Cocktail Bar

    Julia Momosé is a name even casual drinkers know, and her Japanese cocktail bar and tasting menu spot in the West Loop is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've been let in on something. The staff somehow manage to be both impeccably sharp and genuinely warm, which is harder than it sounds. Go for the Japanese spirits, stay for the food, and let them pair drinks with both.
