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. |

Description:
RIVER NORTH. Chicago's best cabaret drag revue is all about "the illusion." This Las Vegas-style revue has been around for over 30 years. A cover charge and two-drink minimum allow you to bask in the glory of some of the most amazing female impersonators you're likely to encounter anywhere. The clientele ranges from professionals to bridal parties. Mimi Marks, internationally recognized one-half Marilyn Monroe, one-half Brigitte Bardot, calls this place home. The music is lively, featuring pop to R&B, and audience participation is mandatory. Neglecting to tip the performers is considered in very bad taste. |

The menu includes a mix of sandwiches, pastas, salads, and burgers as well as a laundry list of beers. |

Description:
GOLD COAST. Although a bit touristy, this spot offers the best views in the city on a clear night. The lounge is kept extremely dark to maximize southern and western views, and the lake and Navy Pier are visible from the Art Deco, marble-laden restaurant a floor below. Live jazz is featured on the weekends. The bar has a great selection of cocktails and champagnes. The place draws an unbelievably mixed crowd, which makes people-watching a real treat. Skip it on a cloudy night or if you're prone to vertigo. |

Ghostbar |

Description:
WEST LOOP. If it seems like Ghostbar popped off the pages of hip "Wallpaper*" magazine, that's because it did. The British publication paid homage to the streamlined club, a polished complement to downstairs' super-trendy N9NE restaurant. Get in the mood with a Ghostini cocktail (complete with Casper swizzle stick), and then sit back and take in the high quotient of nightlife attitude. A long line of beautiful people often waits to get in, and star-sighting potential is high. |

Description:
GOLD COAST. Your portal to French Colonial Vietnam is unassumingly tucked on top of this French/Vietnamese restaurant. The lounge is candlelit, with enormous potted ferns, wicker furniture, gently whirling fans, dark wood, Oriental carpets, comfy couches, and a lovely terrace. The vintage black-and-white photos transport guests to another era. Menu items from the restaurant are available to complement an extensive selection of signature martinis. Music ranging from Bolero to Moby flows smoothly. Warning: This room can inspire a lot of kissing. |
