Start with a Mediterranean brunch

Unwind at this Fulton Market bar
This West Loop bar is the quintessential place to gather after laughing and moving around on your feet at Emporium. The cocktail creations at Aviary are more of a science experiment that will thrill and delight you all in one fell swoop. You’ll find drinks you’ve never heard of, like Aviary’s Junglebird, which is an unusual blend of rum, pineapple-lime syrup, Campari, and a string of pearls that pop in your mouth.
Travel to Mykonos for dinner
Check out Lyra Bar, which brings Greek gastronomic life through charcoal and wood-fired grills located in the open kitchen, combined with a vibrant color palette and pendant lights throughout the restaurant. The oval bar emphasizes the community atmosphere that complements the menu, which can be shared with slow-roasted lamb, spanakopitakia and more.
