NIGHTLIFE: THE CLUB & MUSIC SCENE Frommer
Harry's Velvet Room

Perhaps the coolest subterranean late-night scene in Chicago, this is the place to come when you want to party not-so-hearty with beautiful, upscale club-goers. Originally a posh cigar lounge located a few short blocks from its present home, the new Harry's has been retooled as a champagne, dessert, and wine destination, but the dimly lit, romantic aura that seduced scores of suave night crawlers remains intact. Warm earth tones flow throughout the space, from the plush leather booths, sofas, and chairs to the two bar areas; undulating ambient mellow grooves of dance and world beats throb in the background. Champagne and wine aren't the only libations on tap here: Harry's also boasts a wide range of martinis, bourbons, and single-malt liquors.
