"Like an old-school Chicago tavern—but with way better cocktails—Sportsman's Club is one of the city's most comfortable, hang-here-all-day spots. There's taxidermy on the walls, warm wood-and-tweed banquettes, soft lighting, and vintage touches. They put together a tight list of four cocktails every night, including an ever-morphing house drink based on amaro. They also do a signature Lowlife, a $5 shot-and-beer combo of Miller High Life and your pick of amaro or whiskey. Good to know: It's cash only." - Brad Japhe
