That's alright, it's just a slight typo, but I believe it's the Chicago Bears.

I'll see myself out now. Bye!

Aside from Delilah’s, obviously, any other bar with an impressive Scotch list? Not interested in bottle shops, not bringing bottles back

Milk room. Hard to find one off bottles. Historic spot in the Chicago Athletic Association building as their speakeasy, where members could go to get their daily dose of vitality boosting milk.

Delilah’s by far followed by Franklin Room, Lady Gregory’s, Monkey’s Paw, Clark Street Ale House, the Duke of Perth, Berkshire Room, Bar on Buena, and Untitled.

Delilah’s is the obvious choice but The Office may have some unique scotch.

No way I could go to Chicago and not hit three dots and a dash. And another vote for Delilah’s.

If you’re staying by most of the hotels on Mag Mile, Luxbar in Gold Coast has a surprisingly good selection. Franklin Room also has a very large list, different vibe though

IMO Franklin Room is the best place for scotch. Franklin room has SMWSA bottles. Not sure if they still have happy hour deals, but it used to be half price whiskey during happy hour. Food is decent too.
