Chicago Architecture Tour
We HIGHLY recommend the 90-min Chicago River Architecture Cruise by Wendella
Game Room
Located in the Chicago Athletic Association hotel. Grab some drinks and play pool, shuffleboard, & checkers
Tiny Tapp & Tiny Café
Great for people watching with a coffee or cocktail
River Shannon
One of our favorite places for a Friday beer with friends
Happy Camper Pizza
Our first date spot!
Declan's Irish Pub
And, predictably, our second date spot!
Cindy's Rooftop
On the rooftop of the Chicago Athletic Association hotel. Great for lunch and drinks overlooking the Bean
Dublin's Bar & Grill
Just around the corner from Hugo's Frog Bar where we'll be having our welcome drinks
The Green Door Tavern
Chicago's oldest bar (located next to Mr. Beef from "The Bear")
Bavette's Bar & Boeuf
Our favorite restaurant! Reservations open 21 days in advance at 9 a.m. CST and go quickly
Gilt Bar
Sister restaurant to Bavette's, just a bit more casual fare. Same thing goes for reservations, but you can sometimes snag a last-minute reservation or try to walk in
LH Rooftop
Located on the rooftop of the London House hotel. Great view of the city, river, and lake
Quartino Ristorante
A casual spot we visit when we need real, East Coast Italian food
Robert's Pizza and Dough Company
Tim recommends the arancini; Katie recommends anything you can dip in the housemade ranch
Beatrix
Good for coffee and pastries or a sit-down breakfast
Timothy O'Toole's Pub Chicago
A post-work staple for Katie and her co-residents
DeNucci's Lincoln Park
Get the chopped salad!!!
Zebra Lounge
Piano bar hidden in an apartment lobby. Caution: it's teeny tiny inside, but well worth a late-night visit!
The Bellevue Chicago
Really great food for lunch or dinner and across from our Welcome Drinks spot. Pro tip: sit in the bar area or on the patio (not the dining area upstairs!)
