"Hanging out in a hotel lobby isn't usually a fun experience—unless it’s at the Drawing Room. This spot in the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel in the Loop has beer, wine, and cocktails, plus tons of Ivy League clubhouse charm. Which means the dark wooden paneling, comfy leather seats, and two ornate fireplaces make the perfect backdrop for those of us reading Skulls and Keys who are less imaginatively inclined." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
