Bars without TVs


Having moved from NYC a couple of years ago, I'm still amazed at the proliferation of big screen TVs in Chicago bars and restaurants. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes I like to get away from glowing screens.

    Yeah, there are rules you have to abide by here, but they actually make a lot of sense. Excellent, creative cocktails. TV-free!

    Snacks are okay, but wine flights here are great. It's best in the winter by the cozy fireplace. And no TVs!!!
