"Milk Room is where spirits geeks and cocktail obsessives can find rare booze and (incredible, expensive) cocktails crafted by some of the city's best bartenders. It's worth flying to Chicago just to drink here. Beverage director Paul McGee brings his booze knowledge and geekiness to the fore, stocking his bar with rare and vintage spirits. (Think Fernet Branca bottled in the 1950s, Cherry Heering from the 1970s, a range of bourbons from the 1960s.) The menu is constantly changing to accommodate newly discovered bottles that McGee's network of buyers find at estate sales and auctions. Reserve well ahead." - Brad Japhe
