The Pearl Club

$$$$

495 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago

Velvet couches, floor-to-ceiling curtains, a large golden sign above the glowing bar—The Pearl Club looks like a cocktail lounge in the height of the Roaring Twenties. But instead of Louis Armstrong, there's an upbeat electronic playlist blasting through the speakers. The first floor is spacious, but there’s an intimate loft area where you can hang out surrounded by artwork in vintage gold frames. The drink menu has solid standard cocktails and signature ones, like a nutty clarified ube colada. Plus, you can snack on things like tartare, sliders, or chicken nuggets.
