- Brothel
After taking a kayak trip, you should go for a cocktail at the iconic Bordel bar. This site invites you to “be seduced by the sights, sounds and flavors of the place as you transport yourself to the licentious neighborhoods of Pigalle and Montmartre”.
The bar, located at 1721 W. Division St., offers “award-winning” cocktails and live performances with world-class jazz and evening entertainment.
