This Restaurant In Illinois Is Located In The Most Unforgettable Setting

It's great to go to a restaurant with good food. But when you can get a great meal in an amazing setting, it's special. Illinois is full of some wonderful restaurants. One of the very best, however, is The Bedford in Chicago. The Bedford was inspired by cocktails and the 1920s. It used to be a landmark bank. Now, it is an upscale restaurant. The coolest feature, however, is that they kept a lot of the old bank elements. There are copper safety deposit boxes. They kept the steel doors. There is even a vault. This is the coolest place to eat a meal or just sip a cocktail. We recommend doing both.

This restaurant is entirely in the basement of a former Chicago bank, the Home Bank & Trust building.

The row of security deposit boxes below the tables weighs a whopping 2 tons.

It's part restaurant, part lounge, and it truly feels like a step back in time.

This place makes you feel like you are at a Speakeasy, but it also is a great place to bring a date.

They serve high end cuisine, like steaks and oysters.

Everyone wants to dine within the vault, and this should definitely be on your dining list.
