So I went to Howl with a group of friends last weekend and we all had a great time! I have been there before, cause I live downtown Chicago, but I brought some Howl virgins in for a first time experience..and they too loved it. The service was good, the bartenders were friendly and on top of things, the drinks were great (I recommend getting a bucket if you're with a large group) and the piano players were awesome. Howl is by far the best piano bar I have been to!
Pros: great musicians

Some of my friends don't like coming here, but everytime I go, I always have fun. Saturdays are ALWAYS crowded, but I think the music is better on Fridays. Its usually crowded then too. I love how they always have random theme parties through the year, and you walk in, and some crazy stuff is going on. I went the other night, and they decorated the place like it was a garden, with flowers everywhere, and there was a giant HOT TUB with girls in bikinis everywhere. And when I went downstairs there were girls in cages and stuff. They said it was paradise lost, but whatever was going on, it was cool to just go somewhere and see something new. The staff here is great. At first, I thought they were really snooty, but then I started just talking to people, and they're actually cool. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO DANCE!!! They have two levels with different music, so you can always find something you like. I think my FAVORITE thing about this place is that its so diverse, ALL types of people go here and just have fun. There's not just plastic barbies(although they show up there too) but there's all types of races and different types of people having a good time. I love it!
Pros: Great place to dance. Lots of bars so you can get lots of drinks.
Cons: You can't come too casual or they wont let you in.

My boyfriend and I are new to the city and ate there last night and it was perfect. The place is huge but it felt private in the booths. The food was great and the service was as well. They are very polite and the pricing is very reasonable. The sangria was amazing too! I highly recommend.
Pros: valet up front, service, food, atomosphere.
Cons: valet is $12 (is that the norm? we dont know because we just moved here)

I was first introduced to the Hopleaf in 2006 and it has been my favorite Chicago bar ever since. The beer selection is perhaps the best in the city and you wont find a single television in the entire place. The focus here is the beer, but the staff is not snobby in the least. They are happy to recommend beers and will even give you samples of the draft beers if you ask nicely. I especially like the Kwak (and not just because of the fancy glass it comes in).
Additionally, this bar holds some great events. For example, the Drinking and Writing Festival. Two drink minimum writing contests, poetry readings, what could be better!
Just get their early if you want a seat. It gets crowded quickly, even upstairs. Also, the restaurant doesn't take reservations, but that's not the end of the world because you can always grab a drink or two while you wait.
Pros: Beer Selection
Cons: Crowded

Where to start... What an amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. The entire staff made us feel as if we had been dining there for years and were their favorite patrons. The food was outstanding and the ambiance was wonderful. We are looking forward to our next dining experience at Landmark Grill & Lounge!

Never thought I would have the nerve to go up 96 floors, but I am so glad my family talked me into it. People say it is something you "MUST " do while in Chicago....how true that is. The view is awesome, best view IS in the ladies room. There can be a wait at times if you go later in the evening after 10pm. We usually take the first seat available and table hop until we get as close as possible to the windows on the left side of the room. Don't expect your waitress to carry your drinks if you are a table hopper, why would you?? Drinks are pricey but it is worth it for the atmosphere. Nice place to go either before hitting the clubs or after a nice dinner out. Very romantic, as we saw several couples each visit , getting engaged, celebrating anniversaries, honeymoons, etc.. Do not be in a rush while there....just enjoy all the excitement and views.
Pros: View, atmosphere, ambience
Cons: Pricey drinks, can be crowded and noisey.

Totally cool place with hot women and lots of cool stuff in this place: COPA. I liked the retro design , felt like Sinatra was gonna show up! But he would have to listen to cooler tunes played by DJs. I didn't see any bad attitude from anyone there!!
Pros: cool martinis, lots of specials, cool music

When I was in college, my buddies and I loved to go here to dance the night out. This place is your ultimate dance club. They have awesome DJs here and they play all the cool techno and clubby music. The crowed is super cool and energized so be ready to dance, dance, and dance. The cover charge here is pretty low so it attracts a lot of students. They also have a bar area which is a great place to take a break from the music and grab a drink and chat it up with a few people.
