Located in the old town section of Chicago, The Fireplace Inn opened in 1969 and has since been in the evolution phase, keeping pace with the changing times and tastes. As of what it stands today, it is the leading restaurant in the area to watch your favourite sporting events, in the patio that is used all year round, or to enjoy a quiet romantic dinner in the cosy dining room.

An absolute American cuisine underpins the menu and you could consider barbequed meat balls, jumbo Alaskan king prawn legs and seafood stuffed mushrooms to begin. Follow with New York sirloin steak, pork chops or broiled chicken. A good variety of soups and salads are to hand for those who prefer to keep it light.

Apart from a brilliant selection of wines available to accompany the meal, refreshing beers at the vibrant chic bar is worth a go.
