Fodor's Expert Review Lumen
The Loop, including the West Loop and South Loop
Bars/Pubs
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Lumen is worth the difficulty getting here—it's in a former meatpacking plant in the out-of-the-way warehouse district. Once inside, you'll find a clean-lined space with low-slung modular seating, sleek bamboo tables, and a stainless-steel bar. The white walls are lighted by thousands of tiny lights that pulse with the music—mostly cool electronica and trip-hop beats.
