Chicago Travel Forum

I'm taking my girlfriend to chicago in july - she loves frank sinatra. Are there any places (well known or hidden gems) that have anything to do with him? I've heard there are restaurants that he used to eat at.... anything cool like that.

The Pump Room is the place that jumped to my mind, I've never been there so I can't tell you how authentic the atmosphere still is

Twin Anchors is another restaurant

I don't know if he performed at the Green Mill but he appeared in a movie about it and was said to have visited it

and he dined at Miller's Pub

thank you, i will check those out...

Don't forget Gilly's Piano Bar - named after his good mate Gilly! There are many 'Frank Piano Nites' there as well. It's on Rush St...a dark/dingy place to get a martini.

Enjoy!

Forgot about Jilly's :-)

The Rosebud on Taylor street in Little Italy. Signed pictures of Frank everywhere and his preferred eatery when in Chicago.
