"At this cocktail bar in Humboldt Park, a booze blanket isn’t the only thing that’ll keep you nice and toasty. The star of its large covered patio is a brick fireplace, and its centralized location means that its warmth extends to everyone, whether you’re right in front of it or cozying up in a corner with a hot toddy. Plus, since the Hi-Lo’s sand-colored walls and hanging plants make it feel like a SoCal bar that took a permanent Chicago detour, the space’s perpetually sunny disposition makes it an ideal respite from the cold.
