Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf – Chicago
In this cavernous temple to meat—with its exposed brick walls, plush booths, and worn wooden features to boot—the smell of sizzling steak permeates the air. A steakhouse that mirrors a speakeasy, Bavette’s sports a certain retro luster, and doles out towering seafood platters, roasted bone marrow, and expertly seared USDA Prime cuts that’ll beckon you to linger.
