Kitty's Cosmopolitan Club

The team behind Three Dots and a Dash and Gus' Sip & Dip opened this David Collins Studio-designed cocktail lounge in March 2026 with Chicago's first dedicated minus-sixteen-degree-Fahrenheit walk-in freezer cocktail station—producing impeccably cold, perfectly balanced drinks that arrive at a temperature most bars cannot achieve. Tableside stirred martinis and an opulent interior channel the sophistication that Kevin Beary's expanding empire now delivers across three River North addresses. Kitty's is brand new; the pedigree is not. Chicago's bar culture carries the weight of its 2025 sweep into 2026 with a depth that extends far beyond Kumiko's singular dominance. Logan Square innovates, Fulton Market polishes, River North entertains, and Chinatown finally has the cocktail bar it deserves. The L train stops everywhere worth drinking.
