"The ground floor restaurant at the Emily Hotel in the West Loop offers a heated enclosed patio with fire pits so that the weather can’t stop anyone from enjoying a margarita or daiquiri along with a menu of crowd pleasers like smoked mozzarella mac & cheese and smash burgers. Indulge with a bottomless mimosa brunch or kick off the night with happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., which offers discounted glasses of wine and snacks like cheese curds. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
