After
West Loop, Chicago
Bar in Chicago, United States
Why go
After is worth planning for when the goal is a polished Fulton Market cocktail lounge without a formal-room attitude. At $60 per person and smart casual, it fits dates, small groups, second-stop drinks better than value drinking or food-led nights.
About After
After is a Chicago venue with a price point of $60 per person and a smart casual dress code. Beyond those basics, the confirmed profile is limited, so the safest way to plan is to treat it as a premium night-out option and verify current details directly with the venue before committing.
Because specific details about cuisine, drinks, seating, reservations, hours, awards, service style are not confirmed here, avoid building the evening around assumptions. The grounded planning read is simple: budget around $60 per person, dress smart casual, use current venue channels for anything more specific.
A practical Chicago option with limited confirmed details
The practical verdict: consider After when the listed spend and smart casual dress code fit the kind of evening you want in Chicago. At $60 per person, it belongs in the planned-outing category rather than an improvised low-budget stop.

What to expect, what not to overread
The strongest planning signals are the $60 per person price point, the Chicago location, the smart casual dress code. Use those details to decide whether it fits your night, avoid assuming more specific features unless the venue confirms them.
Planning the rest of the night around it
