      Five Restaurants Where Cocktails Are King
      By Forbes Travel Guide Inspector

      April 2, 2012

      The Violet Hour, Chicago.

      Wine has always ruled the culinary world, but the past several years have seen craft cocktails steal some of the spotlight as restaurants get creative with the drinks served from behind the bar.

These five restaurants made the cut for their superior libations—check out our Forbes.com article on the scene and signature creations at each.
