We don't want to surprise you or anything, but it's been pretty cold out there lately. If you're looking to warm up while you eat, try these fireplace-equipped spots:
Costa’s: Cozy up next to the fire pit at this Greektown fave (340 S. Halsted; 312-263-9700; reserve online).
Côtes du Rhône: Bistro classics like duck confit, cassoulet and charcuterie taste better fireside at this Edgewater French (5424 N. Broadway; 773-293-2683).
Fireside: This wood-laden American in Roscoe Village lives up to its name (5739 N. Ravenswood Ave.; 773-561-7433).
Grafton Pub & Grill: If a pint of Guinness doesn't warm you up, sitting in the comfy sofas near the fireplace at this Lincoln Square Irish pub should do the trick (4530 N. Lincoln Ave.; 773-271-9000).
North Pond: Chow down near the stone hearth at Bruce Sherman’s French-inflected New American in Lincoln Park (2610 N. Cannon Dr.; 773-477-5845; reserve online).
Violet Hour: The only thing warmer than the fireplace at this Wicker Park premium cocktail spot are the stiff whiskey drinks (1520 N. Damen; 773-252-1500).
