The Exchange

The 17 Best Restaurants In Chicago's Theater District - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The Listening Room is a bar and listening cafe inside a Loop restaurant called The Exchange. What’s a listening cafe, you ask? Taken from their website, it’s “a clubby dining experience with a state-of-the-art audio experience.” But it turns out it’s not very clubby—it’s more of an upscale cafe that works perfectly for a pre-show dinner. Plus, the food is very good, with dishes like tender chicken with crispy skin or orecchiette with a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. The “listening” part just means that the sound quality is really good, with a rotating playlist highlighting different genres." - adrian kane, john ringor
