Chicago’s Chinatown gets its first cocktail bar (via eaterchicago)
Up until now, Chinatown never had a cocktail bar. Sure, there was karaoke, and cocktails in restaurants, but not a bar exclusively devoted to the consumption of mixed drinks. But now it has Nine Bar, a new lounge that’s hidden speakeasy-style behind Moon Palace Express, the latest incarnation of one of the neighborhood’s oldest restaurants.
“We want to have things that are interesting but approachable,” says Briglio. “We want people to be able to see the menu and see familiar flavors and have an idea of what it might taste like or how it might drink.”The bar grew out of a series of Lunar New Year parties Wang and Briglio began throwing in 2018 at Moon Palace, which has been owned by Wang’s parents, Jones and Jennifer Wang, since 1995.
Last year, the older Wangs began talking about stepping back from running Moon Palace. During the pandemic, they’d switched to takeout and delivery only and cut the staff back to just family — the two of them and one of their sons. Doing all the work themselves seven days a week and then commuting home to Skokie had started to wear on them. They’d always planned to hand over the restaurant to their children, but last year, they decided to do it sooner than later.
