"A new cocktail bar from veteran bartender Katie Renshaw is on its way to West Town. Bar Bambi, located at 1703 W. Chicago Avenue, will highlight classic drinks reimagined through molecular techniques, like fermentation, clarification, and forced carbonation - think a martini as a sparkling highball or an old fashioned transformed into a clarified whiskey sour. There will also be spirit-free cocktails, natural wines, Champagne, and bar snacks such as wings and burgers."
"Bar Bambi will be designed to feel ethereal and dreamlike, blending playful, whimsical elements with grounded industrial touches. A mirrored back bar with neon accents and floor-to-ceiling front windows complement an adjustable electric light installation that lets the room shift with the hour and mood. Renshaw, who has worked at Moneygun, Billy Sunday, GreenRiver, and the Aviary, and was named the 2019 U.S. World Class Bartender of the Year,"
