Can anyone tell me where to go close to the Ford Center/Oriental Theatre for cocktails and appetizers?

Question

Going to see Wicked and I want to go early and was wondering what was close by. It seems the weather is going to be nice so I wanted to walk around a bit before the show

Answer 1

As long as you don't mind walking, I suggest the Grand Lux Cafe at 600 N. Michigan. Very good food and drinks. They serve HUGE portions of food and the desserts are out of this world. It's such a nice atmosphere too. Try it!

Answer 2

There's a great place called Petterino's that's right across the street. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The bar has incredible martinis and cosmos and we've always been pleased with the food. There is some street construction going on in the theatre district, so I don't know how much walking around you really want to do...

Answer 3

There are many restaurants/bars within walking distance.  Go to the theater's website and they have a list of them.  Did the same thing last year, have fun, it's a great show.

Answer 4

They put in a wine bar in the Walnut Room at Macys!!
