The Whale 2427 N. Milwaukee Avenue
They bill themselves as A glamorous destination for elevated American fare & cocktails with a mid-century gambling theme. I must say I've seen more glamorous places on my travels around the city but this place was nice enough. The menu had some interesting items but we stuck with just the cocktails which really packed a punch! Bartenders were accommodating with helpful suggestions seeing this was our first time there.
There is outside seating for those who enjoy that, but we sat inside at the bar to soak up the ambiance.
