For those who love their afternoon teas fresh, colorful, fragrant and steeped in history, Palm Court at The Drake Hotel, serving tea for nearly a century in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, is the quintessential Magnificent Mile afternoon tea experience. Even the Queen and Princess Diana have made their royal visits here. During the evenings, opulence comes by the bottle or glass with a superb selection of wine and bubbly, beer and perfected cocktails paired with a comprehensive shared menu concept offering iconic Chicago portion selections and the Executive Pour Martini, what we like to call a martini, with a side of martini. Select evenings also include live music of rotating artists.
