Check into these exciting Chicago hotel bars

Sit at the bar or grab a table overlooking Michigan Avenue on the rooftop of this sprawling high-rise hotel standing tall between Rush Street and the Magnificent Mile. Dark spirits are the theme, in case the whiskey-filled cabinets in the entrance didn’t tip you off. The bar is so serious about its whiskey, in fact, that it has its own exclusive series of bourbon, Baptiste, from Ravenswood’s KOVAL Distillery. Ordering either of the premium cocktails on the menu—the Huntsman or A Curtsy and a Bow—will prompt a visit from the mobile bourbon bar complete with theatrics as the bartender tops the drinks with a dry-ice “Tonka fog” or a rooibos tea smoke.
