"Are you having dinner with someone who will absolutely brag about how much he just spent on a bottle of wine? Then make a reservation at Lyra, a loud-as-hell Greek restaurant in the West Loop where that conversation can take place without you cringing and looking for the nearest exit. And at 11pm on Friday and Saturday, they play clubby Greek music while servers dance on tables with sparklers and everyone waves napkins around and around, which is objectively fun." - adrian kane
