      Just note that the Boston Blackie's location in River North is at 164 E. Grand St. The address shown in the link that got added to your post is a different restaurant entirely.

        Wow...I didn't even realize that this forum did that. I simply wrote the name.

        Yes, the 164 E. Grand (Grand and St. Clair) address is what I was thinking of.

          When it creates one of those automatic links, it has a "Remove" button next to it that lets you (the person who wrote the post) remove the link from your post.

      I know it's a chain, but I'll throw Fleming's in there as well. They have a great happy hour every day- including the weekends from 5-7pm, where their listed cocktails are all $6. Their burger which comes with bacon and cheese is delicious and for $6, quite a bargain.

        On another post, a visitor had a good burger at the Paramount Room (adjacent to River North).

        It's good and I don't know why it doesn't get suggested more often.
