Drinks & Nightlife
Famous historic cash-only jazz bar (Al Capone's favourite!). Live music every night at 9pm (but get there early for a good seat). The kind of place where you'll be hushed if you talk during the music...

Uptown Lounge
1136 W Lawrence AveSpacious neighbourhood bar. Karaoke on some nights!
Head into the entrance by Cheesecake Factory, ignore the paid experience you'll pass on your left and head up the escalator. At the top you'll see a sign on the right. Follow signs for the Signature Lounge bar (not Signature Room, which is the restaurant). You'll go up 95 floors and end up at a bar with the best views of Chicago! Can be a wait on weekends.
