Dining and drinks
Join us for afternoon tea in Palm Court — once visited by Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. Coq D’oR, one of the first venues to secure a post-Prohibition liquor license, serves cocktails and comfort food. Cafe on Oak’s counter is carved with the initials of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, and we serve their favorite Eggs Benedict in their honor. Room service is available from each of our restaurants.
Cafe on Oak
Café on Oak is a beach side, breakfast nook overlooking Lake Michigan in the Gold Coast neighborhood serving breakfast. Plenty of tasty creamy, soft egg preparations are on the menu -from benedicts, skillets to eggs your way – you’ll be sure to start your day off eggstraordinary with breakfast at Café on Oak. Delicate options from the griddle include fluffy buttermilk pancakes, buttery Belgian waffles and golden to perfection French toast with sweet and savory accoutrements.
Coq d'Or
Coq d’Or is a Gold Coast neighborhood favorite with a modern twist. The legendary bar opened to a line of thirsty patrons, after the repeal of Prohibition, on December 6, 1933. The reinvented menu, with a new take on traditional drinks and dishes of the decades, takes you on a Centurion journey through the history of The Drake Hotel. Live music is performed every Friday and Saturday. As a Surfrider Foundation Ocean Friendly Restaurant, Coq d'Or is dedicated to sustainable service.

Palm Court
For those who love their afternoon teas fresh, colorful, fragrant, and steeped in history, Palm Court at The Drake Hotel, serving tea for nearly a century in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, is the quintessential Magnificent Mile afternoon tea experience.
