Flamingo Bar: cocktails, wine and draft beer in the Chicago Loop

The Flamingo Bar opens at 2, two hours before most of the Loop logs off, and pours until 8. It’s named for the red Calder sculpture just outside. Inside: six house cocktails designed by Pour Souls, wine selected by sommelier Derrick Westbrook, a draft board that rotates, and a zero-proof list for anyone skipping alcohol.

Happy hour
