"The Listening Room is a new bar and listening cafe in the Loop. What’s a listening cafe, you ask? According to their website, it’s “a clubby dining experience with a state-of-the-art audio experience.” It turns out the “listening” part really just means that the sound quality is really good, and it feels more like a lively cafe than a club. The menu has dishes like tender chicken thighs with crispy skin, mac and cheese that gets melted raclette poured over it tableside, and roasted carrots served with a fluffy coconut mousse and topped with peanuts. So come here when you want to eat good food, and pretend you’re in a music video." - adrian kane
