Best Bars And Lounges in Downtown / Loop

Came in on Valentine's Day weekend. My wife and I ordered from the special Valentine's Day menu and everything was great. I did upcharge for the aged NY Strip which was cooked perfectly. I think they cook the steaks sous vide then sear based on how it's presented. I ordered old fashioneds and our waitress Ashley had great knowledge of the bourbon that they carried which was appreciated. Anna Agosta was the live performance who was great. The overall experience was great, and memorable so much that I think I want every dinner to have a talented live act. Only criticism was the steak knives...they were pretty dull. They might benefit if they switched to a serrated edged that doesn't need to be maintained as often. I didn't notice it as much on my NY Strip bc it came sliced however my wife's tenderloin wasn't and she struggled a bit. The cuts of meat presented very nicely it was unfortunate that the steak had to be torn apart to be consumed. We had such a great time and were well entertained with the burlesque show with Ruby Spencer, that we would gladly return.

Even if you only experience this winter outdoor dining only once in your lifetime, you should! It is beautiful outside surrounded by the downtown Chicago skyline! You stay warm and cozy long enough to enjoy a meal and drinks. It’s a wonderfully unique experience!

Great new place to spend a Saturday night. Was hoping for a few more tequilas but discovered it is a Mezcal bar mostly, and quite a few at that. The service was fabulous - and Carlos made sure, even with the limited tequilas over the Mezcals, that I was quite happy (Reserva de la Familia will do that for you) Being vegetarian the small bites were wonderful. My date and I both had the mushroom & corn tacos and WOW - so flavorful - and just enough spice!! Already lined up future dates to go back with other friends, this is definitely an awesome new destination!!!

Everything about lunch at Remingtons was perfect. The decor is very sophisticated and pleasant. Service couldn’t be any better. And the food is very good classic American. My only complaint is their prices. They are exceedingly high. An appetizer crab cake, while quite delicious, is $22. In addition, they charge 3.5% sur charge. This just seems excessive.

Good experience. Music was good. It was during Super Bowl so I would’ve preferred less music.
