A cool place to grab a drink is Old Town Ale House. It's cash only, but a great old Chicago bar. If you go want to do the Handcock Tower, don't pay to go up. There's a bar at the top that has like a 2 drink minimum for a free ride up. In the end, it's a wash cost wise. Might as well have a nice drink with the view.
Giordanos is my favorite of the deep dish places.
Chicago Theatre is off of State St in the Loop. Worth a look if you've never been.
The Pony off of Belmont is the official bar of the Chicago A&M club. Cool place as well. The neighborhood is also pretty cool.

I am a middle aged lesbian with two children. In Texas, the GOP would love to claim I am an unfit parent and take my children.
Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.
