The Drawing Room opened fall 2007.
Yet that didn't stop Esquire's spirits writer David Wondrich from including it as the only Chicago venue on its sixth-annual survey of favorite NEW places to drink.
Wondrich gushes over DR, saying "The bar itself is small and distinguished not by clever lighting or fancy architecture but by the humble metal rack holding dozens of bar tools—again, functional, not fancy. In this, it merely reflects the demeanor of Charles Joly, the bar's presiding genius (as they used to say)—unassuming, hardworking, and smart."
Well put, and well deserved for all at the establishment, but a new bar Drawing Room is not.
Eight additional local watering holes made the cut for the Best Bars in America 2011 list:
The California Clipper
Chipp Inn
Delilah's
Hideout
Longman & Eagle
The Matchbox
Sheffield's
The Violet Hour
