I visit Chicago regularly with my guy. On this particular evening, he was attending a formal work event so I decided to brave Chicago on my own before meeting up with him later for some clubbing. Least to say, I was innapropriately dressed! Funky and fabulous tiny dress! I came running in from the downpour and promptly found a seat a bar, the most desired location for a single gal, since the conversation is built in. The female bartender was prompt and sweet despite the crowds. I was a little self conscious about over dressing in this casual bar but no one seemed to mind. In fact guys and girls alike were friendly and conversational the entire evening. I ordered the crab cakes appetizer which was great and plated well. The cocktails were mixed to perfection. It was nice that the back patio was open to smokers, who were huddled around the big tree in back. A wonderful summer evening at an exceptionally friendly bar. Can't wait to go back and bring my guy to meet more Chicago friends!
Pros: Slightly romantic ambience, friendly patrons and staff
Cons: NONE!!! :)
