The Coq d'Or opened for business the night of December 6th, 1933 – the night Prohibition came to an end. A glass of whiskey was forty cents and the bar had two-hundred thousand gallons of that long-forbidden beverage on hand to accommodate the rush of people who poured through its doors. Today, as stock quotes flash across a bar screen, the business of Chicago is done over the specialty of the house – The Executive Martini – made with eight ice cubes, poured from a brandy snifter; a drink savored while local musicians play jazz and blues nightly at the piano bar.

If you are planning to dine here, we recommend the blue-ribbon mint crab cakes for $12.00 as an appetizer. If you love wine, and have the means to indulge that passion. Try the Opus One, Mondavi-Rothschild from Napa. This $247.00 bottle is packed with the scent of roasted almonds and you will enjoy the gentle taste of plum and cherry. At $54.00 a bottle, Sonoma’s Simi rivals any Cabernet Sauvignon with a lingering cherry flavor. At $10.00 a glass and $39.00 a Bottle, the Château Souverain from Alexander Valley is a steal of a Merlot. And the Buena Vista from Cameros at $44.00 a bottle will satisfy any Pinot Noir fan.
