The Chicago Fireplace Power Rankings - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Unlike some of the other places on this list, After’s fireplace area feels less like a charming cabin in the U.P., and more like a private nook in Lex Luthor’s evil (and expensive) lair. It’s dark, moody, and luxurious, courtesy of leather couches and modernist walnut paneling. Every detail is accounted for, down to the After logo carved into ice cubes. Plus, since you can reserve the fireplace section, it’s perfect if you and up to seven friends want to sip on well-crafted (and expensive) cocktails with a little more privacy than the main dining space." - adrian kane, john ringor
