Things To Do
Mindy’s HotChocolate
Jacque's go-to. They have the BEST mac & cheese in Chicago, plus their hot chocolate is out of this world.
Ramen Wasabi
Hands down the best ramen in the city. Slurp it down with some Japanese whisky or a Sapporo!
Reno
Our favorite casual joint. Fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza and affordable wine.
Parson's Chicken & Fish
Come for the original frozen negroni and stay for their legendary fried chicken sandwiches.
Revolution Brewing - Brewpub
One of Chicago’s original craft brewers. Dozens of delicious beers and elevated pub grub.
Tanta Chicago
Peruvian! Lively environment with inventive and intriguing food. Our favorite date night.
Maude's Liquor Bar
Exceptional French food in the heart of the west loop restaurant district. If you can’t get in for dinner, wander to any of the neighboring establishments for quality food and drink.
El Che Bar
Argentinian cuisine and everything is cooked over an open flame!
Punch House
Head down to Pilsen and sip some housemade punch. You could also head upstairs for a Michelin Star meal at Dusek’s or enjoy some live piano in the Tack Room. All three are located in Thalia Hall, which also happens to house Chicago’s best concert venue. Who knows, maybe you could even catch a show!
Apogee
Whimsical cocktails and great city views.
Sparrow
Transport yourself to Havana for some rhum cocktails and a salsa soundtrack.
Three Dots and a Dash
Enter through the alley around the corner and descend down the stairs for tiki drinks and tasty bites. Reservations recommended and be weary that the drinks are MUCH stronger than they taste.
Cherry Circle Room
Wonderful wine and food within the Chicago Athletic Association. Stop by the Game Room after you eat for some pool or bocce ball. If the line in the lobby is short, Cindy’s on the Roof is worth the wait for delicious cocktails on a roof top overlooking Millennium Park.
