10 Overall Closest Nightlife
Lizzie McNeil's
(Nightlife - Pub)
400 N Mcclurg Ct, Chicago  60611 • 312-467-1992
Distance: ~0.29 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. This diminutive Irish pub draws a mix of locals that like to swill Harp and Guinness and listen to the jukebox as they relax in front of the fireplace. The menu includes a mix of basic bar eats, including burgers, appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. Of course, many of the items are Irish in nature, like the Irish stew and the corned beef sandwich.

Billy Goat Tavern
(Nightlife - Bars)
430 N Michigan Ave, Chicago  60611 • 312-222-1525
Distance: ~0.33 mi *
        Description: MAGNIFICENT MILE. This tavern boasts quite an interesting history. It was made popular by a "Saturday Night Live" sketch in which short-order cooks yell "cheezborger." Even before the humorous SNL bit, however, the place had quite a reputation. The original owner, William Sianis, apparently cursed the Cubs' owners because of their refusal to allow his billy goat into the stands. So far, the curse has stood strong – the Cubs haven't won a championship since. Despite its fame, the bar is pretty basic in nature, focusing on good beer and, what else, cheeseburgers!

Boston Blackie's
(Nightlife - Bars)
164 E Grand Ave, Chicago  60611 • 312-938-8700 • 1-866-445-8429
Distance: ~0.43 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. In the mood for a thick burger and a pile of fries washed down with a cold beer? Head to Boston Blackie's, where you won't find a hint of pretension. Here, the friendly waitstaff and bartenders happily serve up potato skins, onion rings, burgers, and bottled and on-tap beer to eager patrons. If you're planning on hanging out later in the evening, get there before 10pm – closing times can vary.

Andy's Jazz Club
(Nightlife - Live Music)
11 E Hubbard St, Chicago  60611 • 312-642-6805
Distance: ~0.47 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. It's jazz, jazz, jazz at this Hubbard Street entertainment venue. Andy's has live acts playing at noon, five, and nine. So, no matter what time of day, you get in the mood to hear true Chicago jazz. The menu here is quite extensive and goes beyond the typical bar food offerings. A wide array of groups perform, but most play traditional bebop and swing.

House of Blues
(Nightlife - Live Music)
329 N Dearborn St, Chicago  60610 • 312-923-2000 • 312-527-2007
Distance: ~0.48 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. Although HOB features live blues every night at 10pm, it's far from being just a blues place. National, international, and local groups of all musical stylings show up to play in the intimate concert hall with great acoustics. The multi-floored complex is decorated in a funky juke joint-meets-the-opera house style that features folk and Outsider art. Numerous opera boxes offer great views, and the Foundation Room (members only) is a luxurious treat.

Miller's Pub
(Nightlife - Pub)
134 S Wabash Ave, Chicago  60603 • 312-645-5377
Distance: ~0.48 mi *
        Description: THE LOOP. Miller's decorates its walls with photos of famous folks who've graced the bar with their presence. The place has been around since 1935, so it has seen its share of foot traffic. And patrons keep coming back to order drinks, watch a game on TV, and fill up from the menu, which includes Italian dishes, seafood, salads, and beef. Time-tested, the baby back ribs and homemade barbecue sauce are legendary.

Crimson Lounge
(Nightlife - Lounge)
333 N Dearborn St Hotel Sax Chicago, Chicago  60610 • 312-923-2473 • 312-245-0333
Distance: ~0.49 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. Recalling a 1920s speakeasy with seductive Victorian undertones, Crimson Lounge at Hotel Sax Chicago is positively stunning, as is evident from any of the velvet-covered ottomans and couches. Not surprisingly, the lounge is festooned with crimson draperies and lavish chandeliers. The interior also offers posh displays of traditional Impressionist art. The luxuriant meeting spot will remind you that you don't need to see the Sears Tower to get a feel for the city.

Keep in mind, this place stays rather busy. In fact, they've poured more than 4 million pints of beer and served more than 150 tons of wings since opening in 1992.
