Double A

Tucked beneath Mercadito in River North, this "intimate" mixology lounge turns out "quality craft cocktails" (designed by the Tippling Bros.) from a theatrical "island bar" set amid rustic yet "trendy" confines; it's expensive and the door policy's tough, but the drinks, Latin-tinged edibles (guac, ceviche, modern tacos) and sexy sightings prove to be ample rewards.

Double A Restaurant Review

Until 9 p.m., guests can order items off the menu from Mercadito upstairs, such as ceviches, tacos and botanas (appetizers). Must-have tacos include...

The latest bar to grace Chicago's underground scene, this tiny basement lounge beneath sexy Mexican hotspot Mercadito is the place to be.

We stopped by for happy hour on a Wednesday .. just after 6pm the place opens thus we had no problem getting a table. Note there is no bar - just a few tables (best for a group of four or couples). Most drinks are tequilla based - and expertly mixed. We sampled a few tacos: short rib, shrimp, mushroom .. they were fantastic! -
