Taking the ole lady for a little weekend r&r. We've been to Chicago a few times but nothing really impressed me. Anybody know of something cool to do/see, maybe a bar? Open to suggestions.

 

Wrong forum!
It should be in "Road Trips" forum; I think.

 

no cool biker bars me and a few people shut em all down,,,,nuthen but great food especially this time of year. maybe find a concert of some sort

 

If you can't have fun in Chicago you ain't trying. One problem is long waits at popular places but you might want to try:

http://www.kumascorner.com/ Don't wear a sports jersey.

I love the Museum of Science and Industry. Amazing.

Get a Chicago Pizza, Chicago Hot Dog, Gyros.

If you like Meat and want to spend some money:

Have fun!

 

been awhile but up north in evanston there was a great steak house called petes.and a great irish bar down the street.i think the hotel was a holiday inn.nice area to walk around its near the college and lake.

 

Big star. Great bar/taxi joint. A bit hipster, but they play johnny cash on vinyl and have amazing drinks and I might kill someone for their pork belly tacos! I live here so if u have any specific questions pm me.

 

I don't know if I would want to ride to Chicago for a weekend this time of year.
Maybe you should have planned it for early last month.

It's getting kind of cold, and you may get snowed on.

I've been looking at places down south to ride for a weekend.

Who knows though, maybe your bike has snow tires?
Mine doesn't...

You were talking about riding, right??

 

Place called Kumas Corner just a small bar with outstandig burgers,**** load of microbrews just north of the city a few blocks off 90 94 they have a website. All the burgers are named after heavymetal bands most of the help is all tattoed up.Neat place. The main cook I think is a chef.I seen it on 1 of them food shows. excellent burgers

 

Chop House (Steak)
Rosebud on Taylor (Italian)
