Bluto's legacy

Ever since Chicago's storied Palmer House hotel changed hands awhile back, observers have been waiting to see how the new owners would restore its former glory. Renovations are still underway, but the bar's been refurbished as a fitting homage to the more modern icons who frequented the place. Named Potter's (after the Palmer House's founder, Potter Palmer), the recently opened joint has an Art Deco men's club feel, adorned with oversize photos of past patrons and local heroes like Walter Payton, Hugh Hefner, and John Belushi—who picked a different hotel when he decided to check out for good.
