Kumiko
Just wait. Trust. Of all of the new-age, forward-thinking bars in the city, Kumiko is set to invent a whole new standard. The Oriole team’s latest venture to own the mythical title of kings of the Chicago food and liquor scene, Kumiko was conceptualized in part by Julia Momose (GreenRiver, the Aviary, currently Oriole). This east Fulton Market cocktail paradise is about to—as corny as this sounds—raise the bar. (Scoop Jackson)
