Too crowded, too smoky. Too loud, too pricey. When it come to bars, you’re a total Goldilocks.
Lucky for you, Juicy Wine Company has opened.
The lounge is divided into up- and downstairs sip-o-spheres, so you won’t have to worry about anyone sitting in your chair. On the bottom level, patrons can choose to cork any of 150 bottles of vino. The twelve cheese and meat “experiences” — featuring everything from chicken liver mousse to rare, raw-milk cheeses — beat porridge any day.
Upstairs, a burnt orange ceiling and round banquettes mimic the shape (and hue) of the sun. The real star, though, is a nightly DJ, who spins everything from hip-hop to indie rock.
With this kind of atmosphere, one thing’s clear: This spot is juuuuuust right.
Juicy Wine Company, 694 North Milwaukee Avenue, between Huron and Morgan Streets (312-492-6620).
