Nightlife
Nightime in the Windy City
Chicago temperatures can be finicky in May, especially at night, so it’s good to have both indoor and outdoor options. The REDHEAD PIANO BAR (16 W. Ontario, 312.640.1000) has become a true a Chicago nightlife institution and offers live music seven nights a week. Cigar enthusiasts will love the Redhead’s covered and heated outdoor smoking area. PATRON’S HACIENDA (316 W. Erie, 312.642.2400) is a great spot to order a margarita on the rocks and sit on the patio on a warm springnight. Too cold outside? Then head inside the Royal George Theatre (1641 N. Halsted, 312.988.9000) for the red-hot hit SMOKEY JOE’S CAFÉ. The musical revue features 39 pop standards including “Stand By Me” and “Hound Dog” by American songwriter and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
