The restaurant is hosting a "Bond, Boos & Booze" event next weekend. Guests can enjoy live music, Halloween cocktail specials, and a costume contest.
The event will also kick off Camp X, SafeHouse Chicago's new nightlife series every Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. That's when the espionage-themed restaurant turns into a 'spy speakeasy" after dark.
Here are some of the cocktails recipes Nepove brewed up for ABC 7 Chicago:
