Don't expect swinging doors and cowpokes at this refined, modern "saloon," a masculine steaks-and-cigars carnivore haven. If you’re looking for a light bite, The Saloon is not the place to go; this steakhouse offers mega-sized portions, like the 2-pound porterhouse and the 14-ounce strip loin. Located on a somewhat secluded strip just off of busy Michigan Avenue, the swanky Saloon is the perfect place to escape the crowds of power shoppers on the Magnificent Mile.
