" Dating often involves a lot of illusion, so Chicago Magic Lounge’s appearance in this guide is fitting. It’s a speakeasy-style theater dedicated to the lost art of Chicago-style (meaning close-up) magic. So once you find your way into this Andersonville theater—hidden behind a fake laundromat—you’ll have magicians coming up to your table to entertain you with sleight-of-hand. The drink menu has above-average cocktails, and there are snacks like beef tenderloin sliders or fig and pancetta flatbread. The food isn’t going to blow your mind, but the stage magic during the second half of the show might. " - adrian kane
