Entry No. 42 — the Chicago file — filed under: speakeasy-bar

Bordel

Tucked above the Spanish restaurant Mama Delia, a hidden door in the entryway opens to leopard-print stairs climbing to a candlelit Parisian-style cabaret of pink velvet sofas, tasseled chandeliers, cherub sconces, and hand-knotted Persian rugs. Created by Bonhomme Hospitality as a fusion of Parisian cabaret and Chicago speakeasy glamour, the room programs live jazz and burlesque several nights a week. Open since 2014, it is one of Wicker Park's longest-running hidden bars.

The move: Reserve a velvet banquette for a Thursday-through-Sunday burlesque-and-jazz set with craft cocktails in hand.

📍 Before you go Performances run Thu-Sun; reservations strongly recommended for stage-view seating.
