A Minor Dilemma

That's what Chicago is missing, in my opinion. Sports bars, Irish bars, neighborhood bars, we have in spades. There are a lot of those, but they aren't always that nice. And I like the more top-shelf stuff, that these places don't always have.
In Chicago, there aren't a lot of slightly nicer places just to sit and talk and drink. Like an older hotel bar or a nicer hole in the wall with some nice leather couches, or a nice, comfortable bar. Those kind of places are all over the place in New York, LA, DC, Boston and other big cities. Chicago doesn't have many. It's either dingier places or over-the-top, see and be seen by a bunch of tools, dance clubs and bars.

Yep, there's an Irish bar on every corner. You're right though, either the places are look-at-me places, or they're frat clubs...not much in-between...I don't want to start about the lack of good Jewish delis...
