Where can I smoke a cigar and enjoy a drink in Chicago (downtown)

[rickcr]

I'm here in Chicago on business and this city is annoying me! It's a very nice, clean city but I can't find a place to enjoy a cigar with a glass of scotch or beer. Looks like smoking is banned everywhere indoors, and all the places I've been too won't even let you smoke outside when on their patio or outdoor lounge. Is there anywhere I can enjoy a drink and a smoke in the city? - other than having to put some scotch in a slurpie cup and smoke on the sidewalk?

This town makes me miss my local cigar lounge in Tampa. Big time. (I'm liking everything else about Chicago though - well I'm sure I wouldn't like winter but the weather is nice right now in July.)

Shoot a PM to alexgtp. He lives in Chicago and should be able to direct you to a good spot, if any still exists.

No where to do those two things together in the loop. A few places outside of the loop. If you go north on the red, brown or purple and get off at Belmont, there is a place called Blue Havana going east. I go to a place called Kush Hookah in Skokie, you can smoke and BYOB for $5. Not a bad deal.

Ok, thanks for the input. I might just deal with the sidewalk without a drink. Maybe I'll look up some of those places if they don't take too long to get to.

Wow talk about ironic. Turns out work decided to take us to sullivans and I see guys smoking stogies at the tables outside. Nice
