Bar Pendry Chicago

"Starting at $65 per person; available seasonally on a limited number of Sundays Bar Pendry is the type of spot you reserve for a bachelorette party with that friend from college who yells “Woo!" Their Sunday afternoon tea (which includes a boozy option) is full of groups drinking champagne, a DJ spinning (sometimes very loud) music, and a crowd of tourists constantly walking by the windows. The space is small, and right off the lobby of the hotel on the main floor. All this can lead to more chaos than you'd expect during afternoon tea, but the food, unique tea-based cocktails, and the crackling fireplace are a great choice for a celebration." - veda kilaru

"The lobby bar inside the Pendry Hotel provides an excellent excuse to look around inside Chicago’s gorgeous Carbon and Carbide Building, a soaring Art Deco structure that dates back to 1929. It’s a comfortable perch to take in the design and sip cocktails or boozy tea." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam

"Tucked inside the Pendry Hotel in the Carbon and Carbide Building, Bar Pendry serves elegant cocktails and boozy teas in a midcentury modern setting, complete with wood-paneled fireplace." - Samantha Nelson, Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"Bar Pendry’s afternoon tea service is the type of spot you reserve for a bachelorette party with your friend from college who yells “Woo!" Their Sunday High Tea (which includes a boozy option) is full of groups enjoying champagne at 11am, a DJ spinning (sometimes very loud) music, and a crowd of tourists constantly walking by the windows. The space is small, and right off the lobby of the hotel on the main floor. All this can lead to more chaos than you might normally expect during afternoon tea, but the food, unique tea-based cocktails, and the crackling fireplace are worth checking out for a celebration with your most noise-tolerant friends and family." - Veda Kilaru

"This spot tucked inside the Pendry Hotel at Chicago’s gorgeous and historic Carbide & Carbon building has an alcohol-fueled tea service of its own, dubbed Bar Pendry Boozy Tea. In lieu of packages, however, drinkers can order a la carte selections like HollyToddy with Suntory Toki whisky, cranberry-apple tea, tea sugar syrup, and lemon. Groups can opt for shared selections, which include Dream Punch, a concoction of vodka-infused Gingerbread Dream Rooibos Tea, Prosecco, citrus tea syrup, club soda, and orchid." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
