South Side · $$
Cocktail bar with a long whiskey list and a tight rotating cocktail menu.
You'll find Cocktail Bars, Date Night, Live Music and Rooftop Bars here, all tightly clustered enough to walk between in a single evening. That's the value of a neighbourhood guide: pick a starting room, end up four bars in, and never get in a cab. Every recommendation below is independent — barsforKings doesn't take payment for editorial placement, ever.
The order below is a working ranking, not gospel. Read the notes, pick the room that fits the night you're planning, and treat South Side like locals do — start early, walk between rooms, end somewhere quieter than you started.
