"The Cauldron, a London-based chain of wizardry-themed pubs, now occupies the former Bedford. Co-founders Matthew Cortland and bartender David Duckworth operate five locations in the U.S. and U.K. The Chicago outpost is their largest and most ambitious, featuring three discrete sections such as the 'Potion-Making Experience', a wall of taps with fantasy hunting trophies, and the Vault, a speakeasy-style bar inside a safety deposit vault. The location also includes a walk-in bar and restaurant with British food and interactive elements." - Naomi Waxman
