A far too often overlooked city with great cocktails being made.

Violet Hour
Fantastic cocktails catering to a wide range of favor profiles. The list is extensive and it was a great joy to sit at the bar trying a dozen or so of them. The bar is posh and comfortable. Some of the largest barstools I have seen. Drinks do tend to take a while, but they are well crafted and well worth the wait.

Pricey? Perhaps. Sadly it was never as good once Craig left. Quality is still high but seems to get go down just a bit everytime I come here. Still, they make a very good cocktail.

Three Dots and a Dash
There are several quality tiki bars in Chicago and this one is the best. The entrance is hidden in a alley. It can be pretty hard to find, but ask someone near by it is pretty well known.
