Rodan Chicago - Just Something About it
This place just has something about it. I feel like there’s a little bit of an American Psycho vibe to it. Slow jazz, seductive lighting and a sophisticated yet hipster style crowd. It’s a great place to socialize as it’s not too loud, but the live band is great!
If you’re looking for a late treat, it’s the best place in the area for late night tapas. They serve trendy dishes that are uniquely Rodan like salmon tostada and edamame hummus, which are both amazing! All the dishes aren’t necessarily Asian, but have an Asian twist.
No cover. No lines. It’s never too crowded but has just the right amount of people in it. It’s a pretty sexy place I have to say. Would be a great spot for a date night. It’s not for a wild night of craziness, but more for a relaxing night of cocktails and socializing.
