Staff Picks: "With an elevated take on Mediterranean fare, Ella Elli is a fine addition to busy Southport. And with an atmospheric nod to Art Deco, this spot is a good choice for intimate conviviality and wine."
Redeye Chicago: "Queen Mary has recently opened their outdoor patio seating. The bar’s classy cocktails are fit for spring with ingredients like passion fruit-ginger syrup, peach bitters and jalapeño tincture."
Dana Jensen: "Good tap list in the "tasting room" and a truly outrageous selection of wine and beer. Spirits are weirdly organized, but employees are very helpful if you can't find anything"
Chicago Tribune: "The shop aims its crosshairs at our retro-aesthetic pleasure center and hits the bullseye, with offerings like Bing Crosberry—custard mixed with raspberries, cherries, cheesecake and graham crackers."
T Callahan: "Sound is solid and congestion is not an issue. Great new Chicago venue with excellent dinner and drink options w/ Dusek's and Punch House right there as well."
Aaron Cruz: "Right in the heart of the city. A must walk day or night. Lot's of greenery, great views of Lake Michigan and the city. Special events going on all the time. Buckingham Fountain sits within."
Jonathan Ferrera: "The park is the largest green space in the city and the best place to see all the non-green spaces surrounding it. It hosts many events throughout the year and there are many more ways to get here."
John Broccardo: "Miniature throne rooms are my favorite! A collection of interiors through the ages. It's a must see. Go right to the basement. It's under the grand staircase in the main entrance. First place I go!"
T Stark: "This is by far my fave museum of them all. The Impressionist gallery is magnificent and the Modern Art wing is very complete, packed with Picasso's, Klee's, Miró's and many more master pieces."
Mike: "A classic Chicago establishment and a great place to catch a show. Reasonably priced ($7-$8) beers to boot, given the venue. Chick-fil-A is next door in case you need a pre-show snack."
Stefanie: "Beautiful and iconic performance space. A must see. Seating in the balcony is better than floor seats in the back of the main level."
