Nine Bar
About
Nine Bar is a cocktail bar inside the Moon Palace Express storefront on Cermak Road in Chinatown, a block from the Cermak-Chinatown Red Line stop. The neon-lit room builds cocktails around East Asian ingredients, with a food menu to go with the drinks, and the bar has a place on a 2026 continental best-bars ranking. On weekends the small room is at capacity by mid-evening, so an early arrival helps.
