Chicago, IL 60614 (773) 477-8880 The Gramercy Website
Few places in Chicago have exuded such open rancor as when the pristine Gramercy opened up where
the legendary Lounge Ax once stood. It's been a few years since then and, while the black leather-jacketed Lincoln Park throng has embraced Gramercy with open arms and open legs, musos and indy types rue the day Lounge Ax succumbed to hostile neighbors and a strangely sympathetic city. Regardless, the bar named after the famous park in New York City is one of the first bar-club hybrids that has since been imitated throughout the North Side, though not in the same "South Beach" style.
Hours:9 p.m.-4 a.m. Sunday through Friday; 9 p.m.-5 a.m. Saturday. Closed Christmas, New Year's Day.
