5 Bars That Are Like Midwestern Basements - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Consignment Lounge is the knickknack paradise of bars that look like someone’s subterranean living room. With all the random stuff available for purchase, it feels like a film set—meticulously displayed commemorative mugs, trucker hats, a light-up duck painting. It’s an excellent spot for an early-in-the-game date, especially if the person is unschooled in Midwestern basement culture. Just make sure they know that no basement in all of America’s heartland is this clean." - nick allen
