But we’d be lying if we said any layover in Chicago was complete without some true, down-and-dirty Chicago grub. Located in Terminal 1, the famous\/infamous Billy Goat Tavern is serving up the best cheeseburgers, fries, and Italian beef sandwiches in the whole of O’Hare, making this simple stand a must-visit for anyone passing through the airport.<\/p>\n

Beaudevin Wine Bar<\/a><\/h3>\nSometimes the only way to make it through your layover is to get totally and completely smashed. Don’t worry, we get it. Beaudevin Wine Bar might be a massive airport chain restaurant, but it also happens to have one of the most extensive wine lists in Terminal 1, making it a definite must for anyone looking to sip their way to boarding.<\/p>\n

Look, this Lincoln Park transplant may not be the fanciest place on this list, but there is no better place in O’Hare to grab a beer and watch the game. Don’t miss out on the Hawks, Bulls, Bears, Cubs, or Sox just because you’re traveling \u2014 head to Terminal 2 to find Stanley’s and make the most of your time on the ground.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Yoga Room<\/a><\/h3>\nNot everything at the airport has to be wildly stressful. Spend your layover getting ~zen~ in O’Hare’s yoga room. With space for 6-10 people at any point in time, you should have plenty of time to do a flow or two pre-flight.<\/p>\n

Hilton Health Club<\/a><\/h3>\nGet some last-minute exercise in at the Hilton Health Club, located right across from Terminals 1, 2 & 3. With a full stock of machines, equipment, weights, and even a lap pool, there’s no reason you should have to miss a work out because of travel.<\/p>\n
