CHEMISTRY — The Perfect Chicago Spot to Bring Your Crush 🧪

Near the University of Chicago, there’s a super popular, reservation-required restaurant/bar with a chemistry lab theme. This Black-owned spot features live music before 9 PM and a DJ after — amazing vibe! Why bring your crush here? Every table comes with conversation cards to help break the ice and keep the chat flowing. Plus, the cocktails are gorgeous, and the whole space is designed for photos. 📸 🍔 Wagyu Sliders – You can’t go wrong. Honestly better than burgers from some steakhouses. 🐟 Mango Salmon – Perfectly seared salmon, skin-on mashed potatoes, and mango salsa — feels like a trip to the Caribbean. Highly recommend! 🍪 Fried Oreos – If you’re in the U.S., you gotta try these! Served with vanilla ice cream — just forget the diet and treat yourself. 🍹 24K Lemonade – Their signature cocktail, complete with dry ice and edible gold. Packed with three liquors — definitely boozy! 📸 Bonus: They have an in-house photographer who helps with poses, prints all your photos, and frames them for purchase (no pressure to buy!). Even if you’re solo, the servers are super friendly and happy to help you get that perfect shot. #REDDeliciousFoodResearcher #Foodie #StudyAbroadEats #VibeDining #ChicagoEats
