You will have countless options by your hotel, so it really depends on what type of food/atmosphere you are looking for. The mag mile is kind of weird because there are countless options, but mostly for high-end dinners and touristy stuff - most of the "best places in chicago" are in wicker park, bucktown, west loop, lincoln park, etc.
There is a
Buddy Guys Legends close which would be similar to Reggies (might be temporarily closed?).
Jake Melnicks Corner Tap has really good wings and is a casual bar atmosphere.
Sweetwater tavern and grill is a good standard bar/restaurant type place.
The Gage is more upscale, but a cool bar and good food and in the direction towards the venue (one of my favorites in the area).
London House crowd can be a little douchey, but a really cool rooftop to grab a few drinks at.
Chicago Athletic Assocation has an awesome rooftop bar (
Cindys) and a cool game room.
Three dots and a dash is a popular asian-fusion tiki cocktail bar type place.
Millers pub is famous and decent but nothing too exciting.
Touristy stuff -
Signature room @ the 95th (amazing views and a cool place to grab a drink or two), Anywhere on the
Riverwalk,
Wendella boat architecture tour (great way to see the city during the day)
Eataly and
Revival Food Hall are cool upscale food-court type places- but worth checking out if that sounds cool to you.
I'm sure others have some good suggestions, but it really just depends on what you are looking for.
