Best Whiskey Selection, Reader's Choice and readers' choice: Delilah's

Delilah’s

With more than 350 bottles of brown spirits behind the bar, Delilah’s has a lock on this category—and not just in Chicago. Whisky magazine named the Lincoln Park bar one of the top five whiskey bars in the world in 2004. Bourbon is the star, but owner Mike Miller knows there’s no accounting for taste: you can get everything from $2 shots of Beam (Monday nights) to a $9 toot of the ten-year house blend to a $50 taste of his pre-Prohibition cache of Old Mock. Overachievers might want to check out Miller’s free “Whiskies of the World” seminar, offered annually as part of Whiskyfest.  2771 N. Lincoln, 773-472-2771, delilahschicago.com. —Martha Bayne
