Tavern On Rush

The Best Places to Drink Cocktails Right Now in Chicago

"The second iteration of Tavern on Rush has opened around the corner from the original site of the Gold Coast nightlife icon. Forced out after a landlord squabble, Tavern — which is also a steakhouse — has been refreshed for a new generation. For example, there’s a $40 tequila and mezcal drink, called the Oaxacan on Rush. Chicago is in a spicier place compared to the ‘90s. Phil Stefani and his children are hoping there’s still some magic left in the area. The original was a celeb hangout and a prime space for people-watching across from the park unfortunately called the Viagra Triangle." - Ashok Selvam
