Nightshade

About

Make a reservation at Nightshade, a hidden gem nestled in the basement of Moonflower in Portage Park, Chicago. This underground bar offers a unique twist on the cocktail experience, featuring an eclectic playlist that ranges from classic jazz to innovative steel drum covers of hip-hop tracks. Nightshade specializes in creative cocktails, including a savory drink made with poblano and tortilla chips, and a refreshing concoction inspired by the Korean dessert, bingsu. While the food menu is limited to delightful snacks like olives and parmesan fries, we recommend enjoying a grilled cheese from upstairs before descending into this intimate space. The ambiance at Nightshade is dark and brooding, perfect for a cozy date night or a casual gathering with friends. With only a handful of tables and a smaller bar area, the atmosphere is both inviting and exclusive, making it an ideal spot for first dates or a light bite with drinks. The price point is moderate, allowing guests to indulge in expertly crafted cocktails without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking to sip on innovative drinks or enjoy a laid-back evening, Nightshade promises an unforgettable experience. Don't forget to make a reservation to secure your spot in this unique bar that stands out among the best in Chicago.
