Paramount Room
Chicago, Illinois
The Windy City has no shortage of high-profile places to go eat if you're in the mood for a big night out — but if you're looking for a more subdued experience, the Paramount Room is a solid bet. This cozy River West spot and former speakeasy serves up a wide variety of food, ranging from the sublime fried green beans and belly sticks to killer Wagyu burgers, ruebens, and Ahi. The beer list is also commendable, adhering to the "no crap on tap" way of thinking, and the cocktails are also unique, tasty, and strong. Keep your eye out for the burger and a pint special, when you can pick up the Wagyu burger and a solid pint of beer for just $12. [Scouted by Clay]
