The coziest little basement bar to lounge around with a drink. You can never go wrong with wood panelling.

You'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.

Good 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.

A few draft beers on offer which was surprising (Stella/Guinness/Samuel Adams). Proper bar tender/service in a relaxed atmosphere. 🍸🍻🥃

Hands 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.

This wood-paneled Prohibition-era lounge at The Drake will make you feel like a million bucks—even while you’re taking advantage of happy hour prices (Monday through Thursday, 5 to 7 p.m.). Read more

It 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.

The Bookbinder soup is delightful. The burger on the soft pretzel roll is a must....scrumptious!
Bill CaplesAugust 15, 2015
I've been coming here for years. Decent drinks, adequate menu, good service. Get the Snapper Soup!!

Great ambiance, delicious whisky selection and so much history. Worth the trip

Perfect after dinner bar, piano player is really good.....

A 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!

nice atmposphere on this Drake's bar. Cozy, nice service and nice selection of wines and beer.

Perfect Manhattan. Perfect as in delicious, not as in half and half vermouth.

This was the 1st place to legally serve liquor again in Chicago when prohibition ended.

The best part about the Coq d’Or is the live music on weekends. Read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. A must in Chicago.

They revamped their menu. The slider sandwiches are great, especially the grilled chicken. Order the turkey club; it's wonderful.
Judith Jean-MichelDecember 28, 2014
The sweet potato fries..oh my....a must.
Myra RubinSeptember 23, 2010

Make your drink an executive size for a few bucks more.

Not a chichi cocktail lounge, but probably the most solid drink in Chicago.

Decent Manhattan. But the environment is stuffy. Quiet, upscale, but unremarkable.

The bookbinder soup is a Drake classic for a reason. Everyone should have two bowls a day.

Bookbinder Soup is a classic

Try the Chimay Red Cap! It's amazing...

Moscow Mule and deviled eggs: Do it.
Megan MOctober 25, 2013
Terrible service. We walked in to a not-so-crowded bar, and were overlooked by servers for 15 minutes. We left without ordering anything.
George SmithFebruary 8, 2014
The ambiance of a speakeasy, maybe. A whiskey bar, this is not.
Tom MartinOctober 11, 2010
If they're serving the split pea soup, get it. Good stuff.
