Lined with red-leather booths and low-lit for an incognito feel, this hotel bar is all class. Warm and sophisticated, the cozy environs are suited for relaxation and quiet conversation. Proud to have been one of the first Chicago bars to open its doors to guests after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Coq d'Or maintains its long-standing tradition of service and elegance. The signature drink is the perfected Executive Martini--made with eight ice cubes and poured from a brandy snifter.

BEST Martini in town

by mintie

Coq d'Or most certainly has the best martini in town. You might think the price is a little steep but it's actually 1.5 martinis.

The bartender is quite knowledgeable on vodkas and just makes a killer Martini. And the bites are good too.

Atmosphere is a little stodgy and grandpa-ey, but it's worth it for the drink.

  • Pros: awesome martini
  • Cons: stodgy, not hip

Good Times

by jackhealy

Bombay Sapphire Martini is the greatest I have had. My wife tried a Drake Kiss and loved it. I found this bar an interesting surprize and was able to feel at ease and welcome with the personal service we received. This bar deserves the best martini and actually the best bartender too!

  • Pros: Great Bartender, Good Parking, Inexpensive
