Richard's Bar

Read along with me as I tell you exactly how I spent the perfect 12 (ish) hour date night in Chicago with my husband and our two best friends. Reva, my fire wife and book bestie have recently entered our hockey romance era (didn't know that was actually a thing but here we are). After reading a couple hockey smut novels we found ourselves booking a trip to the windy city to enjoy a Chicago Blackhawks game...since it's valentines day next week we invited our hubbies to join us too ;) It ended up being the absolute perfect evening beyond fulfilling our hearts' hockey desires. We were led to the last standing prohibition era speakeasy, in the basement of the oldest building in Chicago. We shared a second hand smoke fueled nostalgic visit to one of the mob boss locales as well. Foodie finds on this trip were a solid 10 out of 10! Our hotel was just the right amount of classy yet affordable and we plan to return in the summer to spend time exploring the area on foot here too!
