Consignment Lounge
You could walk into Consignment Lounge just for drinks, but end up leaving with a vintage mug or an old landscape painting. That’s because this Avondale bar is also a resale shop. But in case you’re not in the market for some home decorations, the drinks alone are great. They have refreshing draft cocktails like the Ricardo Yuzu (a play on gin and tonic but with yuzu and yellow chartreuse) as well as classics like an Old Fashioned. And whether you’re at the bar watching old WTTW reruns on retro TVs, or hanging in the backroom full of books, the relaxed atmosphere is the ideal place to hang out.
