"If you've ever wanted to have a date in the parlor of the Clue mansion, head to Armitage Alehouse in Lincoln Park. It’s from the Bavette’s team, and has a 1920s jazz playlist, a dim dining room filled with old-timey artwork, great service, and fantastic food. The menu has dishes like steak tartare, lamb chops, plus a selection of incredible pot pies (like pheasant and foie gras). Between the prohibition-era soundtrack and windowless space, Armitage Alehouse has the ability to suck you in and magically make you forget that the world is spinning outside." - adrian kane, john ringor
