Originally posted on Ipernity: St. Clair Cocktail Circle, Hotel St. Clair, Chicago, Ill.
"Greetings from the St. Clair Cocktail Circle, the biggest little bar in all Chicago...and the most novel!"
Printed on the back of this linen postcard: "The St. Clair. Rooms, studios. Chicago's distinguished hotel-home. Ideally located on near north side overlooking Lake Michigan, Outer Drive Bridge, Michigan Ave., etc. Air-conditioned restaurant and cocktail rooms. Ideal home for a day, a month, a year. Hotel St. Clair. 2B-H1202."
Hotel St. Clair was built in 1927, and today it continues in business as the Inn of Chicago Magnificent Mile Hotel. I doubt that the St. Clair Cocktail Circle is still around, however.
