"This cash-only, cocktail lounge used to be one of Al Capone’s favorite Uptown spots, complete with secret booze-smuggling tunnels. Unfortunately, those are no longer in commission (so you can’t use them to dodge the cover fee), but this venue still maintains the old-timey decor, and has a fantastic regular line-up of jazz music. Come here to sit at their large wooden bar and sip on a strong Old Fashioned, or to drink stiff martinis in a big booth while a big band blasts Duke Ellington. " - john ringor, nick allen
