Longman & Eagle’s
Top 1 in Top 8 Best Cocktail Bars In Chicago
The city's early social life revolved around establishments such as The Eagle, The Green Tree, and The Sauganash, and its history is both colorful and rich. Longman & Eagle is a look back, reimagining this age-old concept through a modern lens, offering urban 'travelers' a refuge that appeals to a variety of senses - be they aesthetic, consumptive, culinary, or restorative - done in an accessible, considered, and innovative manner. A place where a man can get a shot with his breakfast, where local politicians may trade votes for whiskey, and one that reflects Chicago's distinct neighborhood-based diversity.
The first floor has a larger 'public' space at the front of the building, which is centered on a dramatic bar and back bar, as well as a variety of seating options for drinkers and eaters alike. The backroom'snug' is a slightly more formal space that offers patrons a less raucous dining experience; it is also used to host art openings, private parties, and other special events on occasion. The Off Site Bar, colloquially known as 'The OSB,' is a tiny micro bar located adjacent to and at the back of the building, accessible as an extension of Longman or as its own standalone walk-up option.
In keeping with Chicago's colorful history of inn culture, the second floor features six guest rooms that complement the bar and restaurant below. Each room has been individually designed and furnished with an aesthetic that acknowledges both past and present histories, while also offering comfort, design consciousness, and subtle luxury at its core. The rooms reflect the same level of creativity, detail, and quality that the bar and restaurant do.
