Barrette: Not many bars offer you the option of going classy or trashy (intentionally, at least), but the choice is yours at Prospect Heights’ Barrette. Set up like a New Orleans cabaret style speakeasy with red leather banquettes and lampshades with tassels, it’s the perfect spot for a glamorpuss with a seedy side to toss some back. Depending on your mood (and blood alcohol level), you can choose from the two menus. We suggest the Barrette (Maker’s Mark and grapefruit juice muddled with cranberries, sugar, and ginger) if you’re feeling like a dame, and the Bordertown (a tallboy of Bud with a shot of Sauza tequila) will suit you just fine if you’re feeling like a broad. Either way, after a few, you’ll be feeling like the Big Easy. |
