The Motel Bar

600 W. Chicago Ave.
Chicago, IL 60610
312-822-2900
This River North lounge features old-fashioned drinks, noir ambience and cheap motel prices. It sports mod orange booths, curvy brown couches and other early '70s retro accents, like an old-school wall clock and cigarette-thin ceiling and floor lamps. The menu offers twists on room service favorites like the petite grilled American cheese sandwich with tomato soup, a classic chicken club with thick-cut house-made potato chips, and a baked three-cheese mac-n-cheese.
