10 Great Speakeasies and Hidden Bars In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Golden Teardrops is the bar underneath Logan Square Mexican spot, Lonesome Rose. And there are actually two ways to get inside: either through the restaurant (perfect for post-dinner drinks) or through a discreet alleyway entrance with a tiny, easily missable sign. Unlike its bright and airy first-floor restaurant, Golden Teardrops is dark and cozy. But luckily, there are enough string lights to prevent you from being “that person” who whips out the smartphone flashlight. It’s good for a chill catch-up with friends, but you can also let loose and give your Mariah Carey impression a test run during Wednesday night karaoke." - john ringor, veda kilaru
