| (River North) - Perhaps as penitence for making so many folks wait behind Le Passage’s velvet rope, Chicago club impresarios Billy Dec and Brad Young opened up this new Wild Wild West meets big city multi-level space with upscale bar and grill. Promising a laid-back vibe that “checks the attitude at the door,” Rockit is a great destination if you’re in the mood for fussied-up comfort food and a Western-chic late-night lounge scene.
Boasting a large first-floor dining area and an upstairs lounge with pool tables and plasma TVs, which celeb-designer Nate Berkus (you know you’ve seen him on “Oprah”!) has designed – you’ll find comfy chocolate leather chairs, wood tables and exposed brick walls adorned with rustic elements. Specialty “Rocktails” include fruity concoctions like the Bomb Pop (raspberry and lemon vodkas, blue Curacao, lemonade and grenadine) and the Rockit Root Beer (Stoli Vanil, Godiva white-chocolate liqueur, and root beer). The place is located at 22 W. Hubbard St. (bet. Dearborn State Sts.).
