Weekend Photos: Curio

Posted Jul 19, 2010 at 05:27 PM

Modeled after a speakeasy and tucked underneath the popular River North restaurant Gilt Bar (230 W. Kinzie St.), Curio opened in mid-June as a welcome spot for sipping hand-crafted cocktails and admiring some Prohibition-era décor. We're told that the cash-only lounge, which features 29 craft cocktails, doesn't get busy until after 11:30 p.m. Our photographer dropped by Friday night and caught a small but stylish crowd lounging on the luxurious leather couches—and checked in with some focused barmaids as they intently crafted the drinks.

About Seen on the Scene

Call it bar hopping by proxy: Each week we send our photographers into the thick of the action to capture the latest openings and the most buzzed-about events; then, on Mondays, we post the photos here, where you can view them without getting elbowed in the side or having a drink spilled down your pants. You’re welcome. And for those who do run into our photographers out and about, be sure to smile for the camera.
