The Tonic Room
- Neighborhood: Sheffield/De Paul
- 2447 N. Halsted St.

- 773-248-8400
This Lincoln Park lounge is a far cry from the typical neighborhood pub with its Art Deco decor and tonic themes throughout the bar: Bartenders use old-school tonic bottles to pour drinks; retro tonic bottles line the bar; and bubbles float between the panes of glass in the front window. A long list of specialty martinis will appeal to hipsters while the 24-ounce bottles of Allagash beer will prove popular with diehard drinkers. Daily drink specials, Golden Tee and a jukebox filled with hip-hop, funk, soul and rock round out the amenities.
