Chicago Athletic Association

Inside the Chicago Athletic Association—a boutique hotel housed in a dramatic 1890s building—guests and casual drop-ins alike will find games, food and top-notch cocktails available from multiple different bars. Speakeasy-meets-men’s-club, The Game Room sees classic drinks served alongside a bocce bay and billiard and shuffleboard tables, while Milk Room is all about the whiskey; local legend Paul McGee heads up the drinks at both.
