September already? I’m holding on to summer as long as I can.
Chicago has many speakeasy-themed bars, but this month’s Secret Chicago calendar features a space that actually was a speakeasy! The Drifter is a bar within a bar, complete with a secret entrance and sideshow performances. It’s the perfect spot to impress a date or just hide away for a few hours.
I hope you find something delightfully unexpected this month!
