The Long Room


The Long Room, Lakeview, Chicago

Dallas and I celebrated 4 years together with a postponed dinner at Rise Sushi and then met up with friends at The Long Room. Postponed because in a little more than a month’s time he’s traveled to Vancouver, Calgary, Seattle, Puerto Rico and New Orleans. And this week he’s going to Montreal. Some has been business and some has been pleasure, but it’s still hectic, nevertheless.

The Long Room is quickly becoming a favorite spot of ours. Dallas used to live only a few blocks from it and we never went. Before the smoking ordinance you could get lung cancer just from walking inside the place. It was seriously one of the smokiest bars in the city. Too much for a couple of nonsmokers. After the smoking ban The Long Room closed for a while and cleaned itself up. Now they’ve not only got a great beer selection, but there’s no trace of smoke. It’s nice inside now and I think they even added a beer garden, which we’ll have to check out if it ever gets warmer here.
