Where To See & Be Seen - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Maple & Ash has been in the Gold Coast for almost ten years, but it’s still going strong as Chicago’s horniest steakhouse. The nightclub-y second-floor bar is where you want to be seen, among the daytraders in sweat suits and bachelorette parties in matching cutout dresses. You can order the full menu (including the $225 IDGAF tasting), and bartenders wink as they take your order. On couches in the back of the room, more than a few couples give off “will-they-won’t-they-should-they” energy while downing pornstar martinis. Count on Maple & Ash for a $250 steak and some swanky bacchanalia." - nick allen, john ringor
