Named for the hotel that once stood on its plot, The Berkshire Room in River North is known for its boozy cocktails and boisterous yet relaxing living-room–style lounge atmosphere.

This charming punk-rock enclave boasts one of the most expansive whiskey stockpiles in town, with the shelves behind the bar teeming with over 800 bottles. Case in point? Delilah’s in Lincoln Park.
