Hannah and Mike recommend Gaslight as a great option for 21+ guests during the break between their ceremony and reception. This bar has a fun patio and great summer drinks.
A cute free zoo and conservatory near the lake - walking around the conservatory gardens is also a close option between the ceremony and reception.
For any history buff, the Chicago History Museum is a great way to learn about the city.
A favorite of Hannah and Mike’s, Bird’s Nest is a dive bar with some of the best wings in Chicago.
The Chicago Riverwalk is a pretty way to see downtown. There’s great restaurants, a winery and gelato along the way.
North Avenue is a fun beach with volleyball, beach bars, bike rentals and entry to the lakefront path.
If you’ve visited Hannah in Chicago, she’s probably taken you here. The calamari and skillet cookies are a must have.
If you think you can handle das boot, this bar has a great German beer selection and board games. The pretzel with beer cheese is a bonus.
For anyone looking for Chicago classics like a Chicago style hot dog and Italian beef, this is the place!
For non-Chicago guests, Lou Malnati's is Hannah and Mike's favorite deep dish. Lou's has multiple locations.
The bean is a classic Chicago destination. Fun fact- this is where Hannah and Mike got engaged!
This tour is one of the best not only in Chicago, but the world (it was named number 2 of world tours after the Vatican!). For guests with time, this boat tour along the Chicago River is a must-do.
