Drinks in Chicago
 

I was wondering if someone could tell me of a place that sells great ice cream drinks (alcohol included). Any place with good "umbrella" drinks, besides Trader Vic's is also appreciated. We will be staying near the Loop. <BR>Thanks!

You are in the Midwest not the Tropics - good luck finding umbrella drinks! Ice cream drinks are NOT all the rage in Chicago either. I would stick with beer!

I would agree with Mr. X above, Chicago is more of a beer and scotch town. However, if you are into this, for great martinis, cosmopolitans etc. go to The Matchbox- Chicago's smallest bar (and I'm not kidding). It's on N. Milwaukee Ave. Get there early on a weekend night, or getting to the bathroom can be interesting- also check out metromix.com- the best Chicago, IMO. <BR>Have fun!

...I meant the best Chicago WEBSITE...

Hey X- <BR>Calm down. I'm from Minneapolis. Do you think I don't know what the Midwest is like?

There used to be a restaurant on Michigan Ave. called Kontiki Ports, but that was ages ago. I bet they've closed, but you could try.........

If you drink inside you don't need that little umbrella your drink will stay perfectly dry

Do you need an umbrella in a dry martini?
