ALL SEASONS CAFE = The All Seasons Cafe is in the Hyatt Regency Chicago's lobby, which resembles an oversized greenhouse with its 4,000-square-foot reflecting pool, a veritable forest of ficus plants. High ceilings and natural light provide a feeling of spaciousness. The hubbub of the hotel guests -- riding up the escalators, chatting in the adjacent lounge area, checking in at the front desk -- makes the cafe prime for people-watching. The restaurant specializes in a variety of American, Pan-Asian & Mediterranean cuisine.
CONNIE'S = Consider yourself at home and Taste the Tradition that is Connie's. Were more than just pizza. Stop by for fresh salads, carved deli sandwiches, soups, microbeers and more!
BIG BAR = A visit to Chicago is not complete without stopping at BIG Bar. The longest free-standing bar in North America is distinguished by breathtaking views of Chicago through the windows lined with over 1,400 wines, champagnes, liqueurs, and cognacs. Appetizer and drink menus feature signature OVERSIZED specials, truly redefining the meaning of BIG - 48 oz. drink specialties served in oversized martini glasses, BIG Appetizers, and BIG Desserts. If one person can eat one piece of the Mile High Chocolate Cake in one seating - it's free! Signature cocktails are served in two sizes: "Big" and "Very Big." In keeping with the theme, the BIG Bar on tap beer list is composed of three sizes: "Big," "Bigger," and "Biggest." A twist has been put on the classic martini to create one of BIG Bar's hottest menu items - The BIG Interactive House Martini. All of this creates an atmosphere where bigger is better and more is more. Hours: 3 pm - 2:00 am, daily
