Mille's Turn of the Century Cafe

Bar flies

There's something about this bar that I really like. While I have yet to enjoy anything orginating here, the caramel-colored wood and little cubbie holes (in addition to modest-sized TVs -- not big enough to be a distraction, but big enough to satisfy a sports jones) are very inviting. The tin ceiling has a very old-time Chicago feel, and the high-top tables can accomodate a good number of happy hour revelers. I love a restaurant with a big bar.

In the rear of the photo, you can spot the semi-open kitchen. This was a pretty solid lunch rush so the kitchen staff was buzzing.
