Step into GreenRiver, 259 E. Erie, 18th floor. The list of 32 cocktails and an additional 10 highball selections is the best in-depth cocktail menu launched in Chicago since Sable Kitchen & Bar opened, says Michael Nagrant of RedEye. The cocktail list is the result of a collaboration between Julia Momose, Aviary vet and GreenRiver’s head bartender, and Jack McGarry, owner of consulting firm The Best Bar in the World and New York’s Dead Rabbit bar. You can certainly find food and drink of this caliber around town, but almost no place in Chicago is outfitted with such handsome honey-colored slatting, cool Danish-style wooden club chairs and fancy swirling white marble tabletops.
