Red Kiva: 3 Stars

Red Kiva is a small lounge located in the West Loop. When you enter Red Kiva the first thing you notice is the piano and circular sunken lounge area to the right. Red Kiva hosts live jazz several nights a week. The contemporary decor and muted lighting creates an ideal atmosphere for a jazz lounge. Red Kiva also advertises a DJ on weekend nights. The night I went the DJ spun strictly techno. I am not a fan of techno and did not stay very long. I enjoyed my experience there much more on the jazz night. Both nights had one thing in common, Red Kiva is a very low key type of spot. For that reason, I think it is a nice place for a date or if you want some place mellow to meet friends. One perk is that Red Kiva offers free pizza to its guests M-F from 5pm to 7pm. They won't tell you, though, you will have to ask.

Prices: $$
