Wendella Tours & Cruises

Wendella Tours & Cruises

400 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611
, (312) 337-1446

The best tourist attraction in the world. It's honestly the perfect way to see the entire city from the water, learn some fun facts, and enjoy a cold drink on a hot summer day. Do not miss this!

Starbucks Reserve Roastery

Starbucks Reserve Roastery

646 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611
, (312) 283-7100

Fact: we love coffee. This is the largest Starbucks in the world. We call Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for Coffee. Head to the experiential coffee bar on the top floor and order the “Cold Fashioned". You can thank us later.

RAMEN-SAN

RAMEN-SAN

59 West Hubbard Street, Chicago, IL 60654
, (312) 377-9950

Obsessed is an understatement. Not only is this restaurant a total vibe but it basically got us through the pandemic. They serve beautiful pints of Asahi from ice-cold Kegs. The pandora playlist (Tribe Called Quest) is the best of any restaurant in the city. All the staff are sponsored by Levi's. Perfect after a big night of drinking.

Gibsons Italia

Gibsons Italia

233 North Canal Street, Chicago, IL 60606
, (312) 414-1100

A stunning restaurant with an amazing outdoor patio and incredible river views. Dinner here is amazing. But we suggest you go here for lunch, sit on the patio, and order the off-menu burger. It'll blow your mind but not your wallet!

Sparrow

Sparrow

12 West Elm Street, Chicago, IL 60610
, (312) 725-0732

Our favourite cocktail bar in Chicago. Proper speakeasy vibe with Cuban hotel lobby decor. Insane rum collection and lovely staff. Come here before or after dinner. Or visit post-Cigar at BIGGS mansion.

Good Funk

Good Funk

180 North Upper Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606
, (312) 929-3185

Our favourite natural vino bar in Chicago. Conveniently located near all our hotels. The wine bar is attached to a restaurant (Beatnik) which serves incredible food. Cheeseburger and the ceviche can't be missed. Highy recommend you do a wine flight and let the servers guide you.

The Green Door Tavern

The Green Door Tavern

678 North Orleans Street, Chicago, IL 60654
, (312) 664-5496

Local neighbourhood haunt. Elevated bar food with a rustic sports-focused interior. There's a speakeasy downstairs (The Drifter) that's open Wednesday-Sunday. Al Capone used to drink in there. Don't miss the shot wheel or the chicken tendies.
