Chicago ladies a ?

[brewalexa]

Hi! My younger sister is turning 21 at the end of the month and she's been wanting to go to Chicago for awhile so we decided to go for her birthday with a few friends. It should be a good time.. I have never been so I was wondering if you could suggest a few fun bars or like clubs? ha ha we're not club goers but thought it'd be fun to go to one. Anyways. oh we are planning on staying at the embassy suites downtown lakefront I think its called.
Thanks for any suggestions!

What's the address of the Embassy Suites? If it's the one on State St, you're close to Quartino (italian tapas) which is a great place for a group dinner. Pops for Champagne is across the street and you can hit up the bars/clubs on Hubbard St. (Hub 51, Rockit, Social twenty-five, etc). If you're at the other Embassy Suites, I'd still probably go to the places I listed but you may want to take a cab.

God I miss Quartinos.................. That place is amazing

Agree; we did Quartinos for my bachelorette party and the girls still rave about it; I would recommend Hubbard street as well; or Gold Coast area bars (especially on Division between State and Clark) are fun for young ages

Is Rush and Divison still a hot spot for bars?

Lol yep, that's what I considered part of Gold Coasta; aka Viagra Triangle.

Now I avoid it like the plague, but when I first moved to Chicago we lived off State so typically went out around there and love it!

It was fun when I was in my early 20's...

There are som great restaurants over there though..I used to manage a great restaurant in that general area. I miss it

Niu is also really good. Or you can do Moe's Cantina, I've only been a few times but had a lot of fun every time.

Ditto Quartino for dinner. Just went there last weekend for my b-day dinner!

Ditto also the recs already given. I will add to that Bull & Bear (kinda near Moe's Cantina if you are hoppin').

Agreed.

What restaurant did you manage?

Restaurants like Paris Club and Tavernita are good restaurants that have the young nightlife atmosphere as well.
