Speakeasy / Hidden Bar·River North·Downtown

The Drifter

Slip through the Green Door Tavern's hidden bookshelf in River North and you'll find yourself in a legit Prohibition-era speakeasy where the bartenders pull your daily cocktail menu based on a tarot reading. The velvet booths, dim lighting, and carefully crafted cocktails keep the vibe intimate and theatrical until 2 AM—this is the kind of spot where locals go to actually disappear.
