"Chinatown Chicago’s Chinatown has long been a haven of soup dumplings and chili chicken, but craft cocktails? Not so much. That all changed in 2022, when Nine Bar emerged as the neighborhood’s first cocktail bar, a dimly lit speakeasy nestled behind Moon Palace Express. Housed in what was once a dining room for the restaurant, the alluring bar is marked only by a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sign that bears the Chinese characters for “Nine Bar,” which gives way to a sexy den filled with lounge chairs, stools, a DJ booth, and flashes of neon. This being Chinatown, look for Chinese-inspired tipples and spirits, including lots of highballs, sakes, and a masterful Mai Tai made with almond cookie orgeat. Come hungry too, ‘cause the snackable food menu is packed with heavy-hitters like mapo hot fries, a McKatsu fried pork sandwich, and crispy cauliflower in Chinese orange sauce. How to book: Nine Bar does not take reservations, so arrive on the earlier side (pre-7 pm) to stake out a seat."
