Prohibition era drinks are served here in a very cozy, intimate space--red velvet covered booths and low-lighting. You really get the speakeasy feel when you follow the bouncer up a set of stairs and down a hallway. You have to get "on the list" to get in...there's a guy out front that you talk to.Prohibition era drinks are served here in a very cozy, intimate space--red velvet covered booths and low-lighting.

I'm not sure how this is on the weekends, but we had no trouble getting in. Definitely worth a night.…see moresee less
this is your classic old school (really old school) steak house. Most of the waiters in here in the 70's or 80's. I haven't been in a few years, so it might be a little different now, and by that i mean the waiters might in their 80's and 90's.
The Cultural Center is one of the most beautiful buildings in Chicago. Totally free to walk through and take it all in.. I've heard you can throw an amazing wedding here.
The only place to get Chicago style pizza. Some say Geno's East (not a big fan), some say Giordano's (not a bad option), but Pizzeria Due is tops. Except a long wait. Call or put in your name and stroll around the city.
Old school Chicago-touristy steakhouse. Worth it to pop in for a drink and the food is good, but i prefer some other spots to eat. It is in a lively area on Rush with lots of bars & restaurants around.
This is the classic Chicago touristy steak house. The food is good and the scene is lively. They have a piano in the bar and a fun place for a drink or eats. Last time we where there, some women described Gibson's as being one of three restaurants that make up the "Viagra Triangle" (meaning that This is the classic Chicago touristy steak house.

Last time we where there, some women described Gibson's as being one of three restaurants that make up the "Viagra Triangle" (meaning that there are a lot of older rich guys trying to meet younger women). The other two restaurants were Hugo's Frog Bar and another one i can't remember. It's worth heading over there because it's right in the middle of a lot of good activity.…see moresee less
This is the same as Joe's in Miami Beach. It's an institution down there. Great stone crab and some of the best steaks i've ever had. Not a true chicago establishment (since it's origin is Miami) but a solid choice nonetheless.
Cloud Gate AKA The Bean is a wonderful public art installation that brings out the kid in everyone. Don't miss the Crown Fountain, either (also in Millennium Park)!
