Beat ’Em, Bust ’Em, That’s Our Custom

Madpoison Ultralounge Opens

Your friends suggest Chinese and a romcom; you all scarf Wendy’s and watch The Shining.

You like to get your way.

Which is why you’ll love Madpoison Ultralounge, a new bar in the West Loop designed for big, bad ballers who are large and in charge.

VIP tables are equipped with touch-screen tabletops so you can create custom cocktails (there are more than 66,000 possible concoctions). Other perks: sending instant messages to hotties across the room, bidding for the right to play virtual DJ (swipe your plastic, throw down, and your song jumps to the top of the list). Over the top? Yep. And that’s precisely what makes it great.

Soon there will be touch screens at every table.

So each customer can pick her poison.

Madpoison Ultralounge, 806 West Randolph Street, between Halsted and Green Streets (312-612-2229 or madpoisonlounge.com).
