Starting Point: 120 E. Delaware 5:00-7:00 |
No swanky bachelorette party pub crawl could start with anything less than manicures and pedicures from a posh salon. This is the best and you don’t need to be a guest at the hotel to enjoy it. You’ll want to budget at least a few hours here. |
Board the Chicago Trolley, head south on Michigan, west (right) on Grand, south (left) on Wells, and east (left) on Illinois. |
To book a trolley, contact Chicago Trolley for pricing & availability: Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Co. Your pub crawl agenda is completely up to you. If you’d like to hire a guide, please be sure to mention that when you contact Chicago Trolley. |
2nd Stop: 504 N. Wells 7:15-8:45 |
After all that pampering, you’ll bound to be hungry, and the Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian fusion of this chic New York institution is just what the doctor ordered. And did I mention the caipirinha bar? |
South on Wells, east (left) on Illinois, north (left) on LaSalle, west (left) on North, south (left) on Damen. |
|
3rd Stop: 1520 N. Damen 9:00-10:30 |
Violet Hour is a modern-day speakeasy and elegant lounge. Experienced bartenders craft the best cocktails in the city, made with hard-to-find spirits and served with a flair. |

|
4th Stop: 839 W. Fulton 10:45-12:00 |
The definition of coolness in Chicago and no cover charge games. Alternate: the larger and more pretentious Bon V, where bottle service will get you the best seat in the house. |
West on Fulton, south (left) on Peoria, east (left) on Lake, north (left) on State, east (right) on Chicago, north (left) on Rush until Walton. |
|
Final Stop: 937 N. Rush 12:15-4:00 (5:00 Sat) |
Decadence down a cobblestone alley, and you’ll have to check any bachelorette veils and tiaras at the door. |
Time for a taxi, which you’ll find out front. |
