One of Chicago’s sexiest nightclubs

Tipple of choice: The Bombay General cocktail – a blend of Bombay Sapphire gin, Domaine De Canton, marmalade, lemon, UG special syrup and egg white – won GQ Magazine’s Most Inspired 2010 competition.

If you’re looking to swank it up to the max, bump into a few celebrities, drink expensive cocktails and dance with the most beautiful people in Chicago, this River North nightclub is a good bet.

The interior looks like a bomb shelter as made by Bulgari, and the wartime theme extends to the staff, who are decked out in uniform – but everyone else comes dressed to kill. With a tight door list and pricey drinks, opting for bottle service (from USD 250) might be a good idea here to get your party in, seated and served in one precise military operation.
