Phoenix Lounge

Because having two restaurants, the city’s most popular rooftop lounge and a sweet movie theater—not to mention a few hotel rooms—isn’t enough, theWit has opened an additional bar, called Phoenix Lounge, on the second floor of the hotel, adjacent to Cibo Matto. The new bar will serve small plates from chef Todd Stein, such as English-pea crostini and veal meatballs, but the focus will be on classic cocktails (aviations, Manhattans, Sazeracs) and live music Thursday–Saturday from 6:30–10:30pm. Next up: a petting zoo. (Just kidding. We think.) 201 N State St, second floor, 312-239-9500.
