"Pre-pandemic, we’d go to The Darling in the West Loop for drinks, live performances, and to sit inside a space designed to look like Luigi’s Mansion. Now you can come here to have cocktails and small plates in their “rose garden.” That’s the name of their outdoor patio area that’s filled with private greenhouses that you can reserve for two to four people. And while the little shelters are actually pretty warm (like a....greenhouse), they do have blankets in case you get cold." - adrian kane
