Tucked away in the north end of Chicago's lakefront path, this waterside café is housed in the coachhouse of one of Chicago's last remaining lakeside mansions. Circled by string lights, the outdoor patio is the place to be on Chicago summer nights if you want to enjoy a reasonably priced cocktail and watch the sunset with friends. Locals come here to pretend they're on vacation.
