Gold Coast & Streeterville Nightlife in Chicago

The Gold Coast is full of beautiful sidewalks, great shopping, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and fantastic homes. Everything is upscale and glamorous here, so be ready splurge! Live up the glam at the Signature Lounge on the 95th Floor of the Hancock Building, or while drinking a cocktail at the swanky, elegant Coq d'Or bar hidden away in the Drake Hotel. Escape to the French Colonial era at Le Colonial, set in an intimate terrace overlooking Rush Street. The Leg Room and Back Room are other lively and popular bars where you can find those dressed to impress. For something more casual, walk within steps from the popular singles-bar area, to the casual pub, P.J. Clarke's, and to the very unpretentious environment at Elm Street Liquors. Or, enjoy an intimate evening at Tavern on Rush, with a comfortable sports bar downstairs. You can also bring out your animal side at the Zebra Lounge, a wonderful little neighborhood bar. For a twist on your martini, head to RA sushi for sake or a saketini!
