Bodega

Drinks are divided into three main categories at this bartender's take on a classic "corner store" in River North: fizzy, boozy and frosty. Order a Purple fizzy beverage, a grape-brandy–based cocktail that tastes like purple even though it may appear clear. For something stiffer, try the Traveler, which is bourbon-based and arrives—true to its name—in a 200-milliliter glass flask. On warmer evenings, grab a frosty Negroñi Colada from the gently swirling machine behind the bar.
