The Hive at Honey’s The buzz here revolves around the intoxicating space and a no-fuss cocktail menu that
doesn’t make you think too hard. Filled with wax-dripping candles and ornate couches, the Hive is the kind of place you can really sink into. The bar itself is tiny and lined with four chairs, making it feel like a living room—the one you’d design if you had thousands of dollars to spend on vintage furniture. There’s no printed menu here; instead fix your gaze on the blackboard above the bar for three cocktail options that rotate daily. The folks behind Honey’s have really outdone themselves with this effortless blend of simplicity and abundance. Frankly, we almost wish we could keep this spot a secret. 1111 W Lake St (312-877-5929,

Alulu Alulu joins
Alulu Brewpub
Alulu joins the ranks of Pilsen’s growing brewpub scene with a long list of beers that you’ll want to drink all summer long. There are also cocktails and a food menu at the bar (pour Alulu’s killer house-made vinegar sauce on eats like frites and chicken wings), but what this y does best is its Belgian beers and IPAs. Skip the ers and blonds in favor of anything described as hoppy or full of esters. With green moss running along the back of the bar and a heavily sunlit room, this place offers a welcoming setting in which to enjoy a beer. 2011 S Laflin St (312-600-9865,

Agricole’d Fashioned at Parson’s Chicken & Fish
We teamed with Parson’s Chicken & Fish to bring tiki time to the patio this summer.
The epitome of summertime in Chicago is lounging around on a patio with a tall glass of something boozy in your hand. And as most well-versed city dwellers know, Parson’s is the place to go for both. (Hello, Negroni slushies!) That’s why we teamed with bar manager Charlie Schott to craft a special Time Out Chicago cocktail. Throughout the month of July, ask for the Agricole’d Fashioned, a spin on the classic Ti Punch, bitters and orange. You can find this cocktail and more Time Out Chicago collaborations at other Land & Sea Dept. bars, like Lost Lake and Game Room, this summer. Cheers! 2952 W Armitage Ave (773-384-3333,
parsonschickenandfish.com). $11.

Could you tell us about your approach at Vol. 39 and Boleo? They’re two very, very different high-concept menus. I got to go to Peru to research for Boleo, so I had a pulse on that menu. But wondered who would be drinking there when it opened. I made two muses, two characters to riff off of—a kind of masculine and a feminine. Boleo is much more culinary-focused, so that’s where I get to do all of my really weird stuff. And everyone who works behind the bar with me knows that I get really weird.
What are some of your favorite cocktails to make? Whenever friends come in, I love to make Elizabeth Atkinson

How did you get into bartending? It’s actually kind of funny. I was working in cardiology at the hospital, and I hated my job, so I quit. I thought, Man, I need to make fat cash, so I went to a sports bar and asked for a job. I fell into this rabbit hole learning about wine and fine dining. Then I was working at this wine café in Phoenix, and our head bartender quit right before service. The bar had only one bartender, so my boss turns to me and goes, “Do you want to bartend?” I said yes and that was it.
