About
Hidden behind Moon Palace in Chinatown, this is the kind of place that feels like a find without trying too hard. The room has a sleek, modern look, but the real draw is the way the drinks bring in Asian flavors with confidence and restraint. Cocktails are the focus, with a menu that feels original rather than gimmicky, and the bar food is stronger than it needs to be. It works equally well for a casual night out or for drinks that feel a little more special. Nine Bar is worth visiting for its sense of identity, which feels distinct in Chicago and fully at home in Chinatown.
