I'm heading to Chicago next week for an r&d trip to Smyth, and wondering where we should go for cocktails - not just bars, but possibly restaurants doing amazing things. They need to have all sorts of vials and squirt bottles and mason jars full of house-made stuff that goes into their cocktails. Thoughts?

Dave's two, of course. Also these:

Bar Sótano, Rick Bayless's new speakeasy underneath Frontera Grill,

Kumiko, "a formal bar," by former Oriole folks (the restaurant, not the baseball team)

The Albert, a restaurant, features "science-minded cocktails" (Albert = Albert Einstein)

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."
