Whether you're huddled close around the piano or hanging back on the red Naugahyde banquettes, this old-time, clubby haunt in the historic Drake hotel offers an intimate evening of song stylings (it's one of the few downtown hotel lounges that still offers live music). The Coq d'Or claims to be the second bar in Chicago to serve drinks after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 -- and the place hasn't changed much since then.
