The Bedford (CHICAGO)

Bank turned Bar!!
Walking into this place felt like you're about to walk in on a 1920's bank heist. We were just there for brunch. This place has a huge vault complete with lockers and keys. Its a unique setting for a bar and restaurant and I loved it.

We ordered a bloody mary, bottomless mimosas, the big pancake with strawberry and an omelette with pesto vinaigrette and caramelized onions.

1st Impression: This place is super cool.

2nd Impression: The drinks were great. The mimosa is one of the best I have had. What juice did they use??
The food is ok

And: They have really cool art all over the place

So?: I dont think Ill be back for their menu but definitely for a drink in the vault.

Mason Jars at Moonshine (CHICAGO)

Saw these really cute mason jars used as glasses for drinks on a Happy Endings episode. Kind of got obsessed with them, so husband took me hunting in the city to find them!

Cut to Moonshine in wicker park (love the neighborhood my second time there last week) a great place I hear to sit outdoors and enjoy a drink.

I ordered a Hurricane

1st Impression: My drink looked so pretty!!

2nd Impression: Was Yumm! 

The Icing: Loved that even the water was served in this quaint jar/glasses

So?: Will go back in the summer when they have outdoor seating
