"Milk Room is a speakeasy-esque bar in a hallway of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel. And this place is tiny, with only an intimate eight-seat bar. So since space is limited, we highly recommend booking a reservation (each seating also comes with a time limit ranging between one to two hours). The cocktails often involve some very rare scotches, whiskies, and other spirits, and each feels like a small investment ($24-$75). Their expert bartender will help you find the ideal cocktail based on your preferences—unless, of course, your preference is cheap bottom-shelf stuff." - adrian kane, john ringor
