This is the best architectural tour that takes you through the Chicago river. The boat is both indoor/ outdoor and has a bar with snacks and beverages in the lower level. We cannot recommend this enough!
Historic jazz club in Uptown and a Chicago institution. Open since the early 1900's and still going strong, this iconic lounge features live jazz every night, a speakeasy- era vibe with Art deco details, and deep ties to prohibition-era history (Al Capone and old tunnels lore). Tip: It's CASH only and seating is first come first served, so arrive early for popular shows.
Best cocktail lounge in the city, also happens to be where we came on our first date.
Beautiful FREE zoo, perfect for a day with the family and you can walk through the lake front afterward.
