And given that a large percentage of the club's patrons are usually sweaty from dancing, that isn't an entirely bad thing. Perhaps due to its former life as the restaurant Adagio, Zentra seems to have a pretty good ventilation system. Closed Monday through Wednesday. Zentra attracts a martini and champagne drinking crowd. And though there's no strict dress code, it's clearly a place to dress up.
Boys are well-groomed and girls are, quite frequently, in strapless attire.
In fact, it's difficult to work your way through a crowd without bumping into either cleavage or a guy who is trying to look like Leonardo DiCaprio. You can also choose from a variety of champagnes, though the reigning favorite seems to be anything containing flavored vodka. Expect to wait in line for a while to get in. Zentra is definitely trendy, and its decor and music work well. Stewart is a Chicago freelance writer.
