The Ultimate Local’s Guide to Chicago || Gatekeepers

Next stop: The windy city of Chicago with gatekeeper Vic Lloyd, one of the founders of a local streetwear shop in the city. From chowing down on some incredible burgers, to cracking the code to enter a speakeasy-like magic lounge, to grabbing a beer and playing a quick game of curling, this is a Chicago experience you can't find in a typical brochure.

In every city there’s someone who’s connected, who knows where to go on a slow Monday night and can get a table anywhere they want on a Friday - in every city there’s a Gatekeeper. In this Thrillist travel show, we’re sending our host across the country to meet up with these Gatekeepers and experience first hand everything you should make sure to do/eat/drink, one city at a time.
