Cole KennedyNovember 26, 2016The coziest little basement bar to lounge around with a drink. You can never go wrong with wood panelling.
Nathan SmithNovember 26, 2015Good cocktails and an extensive menu of classics. Service is poor even for a lounge, and the room design makes things very crowded, but if you don't mind, it's an absolute throwback.
Jessica ReynoldsJune 19, 2012You're paying for the atmosphere, so make the most of it. Go on a Saturday night and prepare to be sent back in time and serenaded by the jazz singer. Try the Hardball or the Moscow Mule.
Mark RobinsonApril 9, 2018A few draft beers on offer which was surprising (Stella/Guinness/Samuel Adams). Proper bar tender/service in a relaxed atmosphere. 🍸🍻🥃- @MisterHirschAugust 26, 2012It doesn't.get any more real than this. The Coq D' Or opened the day after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Have a classic cocktail and enjoy the atmosphere & history.
@KayeNWAugust 26, 2012Hands down this place offers the best service of any bar I have been to. They can make any classic cocktail you desire to perfection and will stop at nothing to make sure you get a wine you love.
Amazing old school atmosphere with classic cocktails. Great place to unwind after work.
Bill CaplesAugust 15, 2015I've been coming here for years. Decent drinks, adequate menu, good service. Get the Snapper Soup!!
ElizabethApril 15, 2015Great ambiance, delicious whisky selection and so much history. Worth the trip
Judith Jean-MichelDecember 28, 2014The Bookbinder soup is delightful. The burger on the soft pretzel roll is a must....scrumptious!
Susan BarryOctober 29, 2013Perfect Manhattan. Perfect as in delicious, not as in half and half vermouth.- SOctober 19, 2010A bowl is two cups when it comes to the soup. Bookbinder soup is a must! And it is made from snapper (the fish) not snapper (the turtle) nowadays. Delish!
el jaraApril 21, 2013nice atmposphere on this Drake's bar. Cozy, nice service and nice selection of wines and beer.- Shannon JeropkeNovember 15, 2021This was the 1st place to legally serve liquor again in Chicago when prohibition ended.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff. A must in Chicago.
Time Out ChicagoMarch 6, 2013The best part about the Coq d’Or is the live music on weekends. Read more
Myra RubinSeptember 23, 2010Happy I rediscovered this oldie but goodie! Dark, comfy atmosphere. Revamped menu. Gr8 for drinks, food all day 11am-2am
Make your drink an executive size for a few bucks more.- Jessica ReynoldsJuly 11, 2010They revamped their menu. The slider sandwiches are great, especially the grilled chicken. Order the turkey club; it's wonderful.
Not a chichi cocktail lounge, but probably the most solid drink in Chicago.- The bookbinder soup is a Drake classic for a reason. Everyone should have two bowls a day.
Megan MOctober 25, 2013Terrible service. We walked in to a not-so-crowded bar, and were overlooked by servers for 15 minutes. We left without ordering anything.
- I may or may not be sitting next to Joan Holloway.
Get an executive of your favorite liquor, no better way to start a long night :)

The historical Coq d’Or is a classic Chicago haunt with a modern twist. The legendary bar opened to a line of thirsty patrons, after the repeal of Prohibition, on December 6, 1933. The reinvented menu, with a new take on traditional drinks and dishes of the decades, takes you on an eighty year j...
