The Hangge-Uppe

The house

The Hangge-Uppe is a Gold Coast late-night on Elm Street, in a building that was a speakeasy. The Chicago Bar Project’s file is a woman killed in those years who did not leave with Prohibition. It is a dance-floor dive now, cheap drinks, 4 a.m. on the right nights. You do not come here for a tasting menu. You come because the house is still open when the rest of the Gold Coast has gone to bed, and the speakeasy did not entirely empty.

A cheap drink after 9. This is not dinner. It is Elm Street. Confirm the night — the dead keep later hours than the lunch crowd.
