Unwind in the Windy City

Chicago is the largest city in Illinois and the third largest in the United States in terms of population. It has around 3 million residents. Though it is an international hub for finance, commerce, telecommunication, industry and infrastructure, what it is most known for is its glitzy nightlife, with an exclusive collection of bars and lounges. Flights to Chicago take you to a glamorous land which you can never get enough of.

Make the most of your cheap tickets to Chicago in 1914, a speakeasy style bar which has managed to nail the Prohibition era décor. The gorgeous interior has dark wood, bare brick and tiled floors. You will even find an old-fashioned cash register sitting gracefully on the counter. Delicious cocktails include a selection of old school classics and the bartenders serving them are dapperly dressed in suitably retro attire. This is one of the city’s most attractive bars.

Grab one of the cheap flights to Chicago, if only for the award-winning Angels and Kings Bar. Contrary to what its faux-roadhouse vibe might suggest, this is not a theme bar. With a good dose of atmosphere, a decent sense of humor and a dash of self-awareness, this bar has become unbelievably popular for its music; live band karaoke and international DJs. Rock and Roll heroes like Janis and Ozzy adorn the walls. A huge gong also hangs behind the bar. The buzzing and raucous place is always packed with people.

After scoring flight tickets for cheap, what you should invest in is Bar DeVille. Though a designer dive bar sounds like something of an oxymoron, it is a friendly, unflashy bar which has a relaxed (yet not out of character) atmosphere. It is made of bare brick walls and is adorned by numerous squashy, battered sofas that you can sink into. The bar exudes an attractive intentionally unfinished aesthetic. It also has a pool table sitting at the center and a vintage photo booth in one corner. Beer lovers can enjoy a nice range of local brews and delectable cocktails.

Spend what you saved on your cheap international flights in the Dirty Martini Lounge. The vodka martini of this North River lounge is a gift from heaven. This place has both Grey Goose and Effen chilled and on tap. Moreover, the menu of the bar is stuffed with incomparable goodies to offset the punch of their signature drink. The staff is really friendly and the crowd is absolutely lively.
