This may well be beyond the scope of what Google Answers stands for.
If there are no responses, I'll perfectly understand.


The subject says it all. We are a small group (6-10), having an early
(normally, but not necessarily) red meat dinner, and then we settle
down for some serious poker with cigars and port. We usually meet at
one of the private clubs in Chicago, but, for variety, are also
looking for private rooms in restaurants or hotels. It is not too
difficult to find a place that would allow us to smoke cigars in one
of their private rooms, or one that lets us play cards, but the
combination of the two is proving quite a challenge.

We have one of these evenings coming up next Tuesday, August 5th. I'll
be responsible for organizing this and have a backup place reserved.
But I wonder if a Google researcher could do better.

Here are the requirements:
-Tuesday, August 5th, 2003, 6PM
-Chicago Loop
- Dinner (preordered, so we are not losing any time), but must be of
very high quality
- we would start playing cards at around 7PM, until around 10-11PM
-we will provide the chips and the cards
- there would be cigars and drinks throughout the night
- total cost will be around $100 per head (including room charge, if
any)

Please don't just search Google for "restaurant private room cigar
friendly Chicago" and post links here. I've done that, and a few
variations thereof, and called many of the listings.

I've had my secretary call around, and she was not particularly
successful.

Do not underestimate the difficulty of this question. I would like you
to use your own creativity and search for a private room in a
restaurant/hotel that would meet the criteria. I need only one or two
names, but I expect that you would have communicated with them before
posting an answer.
