Potter's

A bar finally worthy of the historical Palmer House Hilton.. In Short
The heft of the Palmer House is allayed, somewhat, by whimsical details, like white feathers in repeating glass columns and back-lit black-and-white photos of recognizable Chicago personalities the likes of Hef and Payton. The floor is a sort of weathered hardwood, and the ceiling reflects the charm with stamped panels. Chesterfield sofas and tightly upholstered mustard-yellow club chairs are civilized seating options. Cocktails lean to vintage creations, like Singapore Slings, while the food, from Lockwood, is pure comfort--think truffled potato chips, pretzel bread sandwiches and baked goat cheese.
