About Chi Bar:
Designed by Jeffrey Beers, a hot designer who has worked on trendy Chicago restaurant Japonais and Vegas hotspot Rumjungle among others, Chi Bar is a unique lounge -- it's a theme bar that has been turned upscale. Decorated with elaborate glass chandeliers, leather furniture, and estimated to have cost millions, this lounge is following the Vegas trend of hip and attractive hotel bars -- the days of depressing fuchsia carpeted bars with bad lounge singers is apparently over.
Everything at Chi Bar revolves around Chicago, from the view of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan to the 15 plasma televisions continuously displaying Chicago landmarks, and the appropriately named cocktails like the "Lakeshore Lemonade" and "Red Line Mojito". Even the yummy finger food gets the Windy City spin, like mini hot dogs served "Chicago style", and a plate of "sliders" with truffle potato chips.
