Chowdown Showdown: Martinis

It's time for our weekly Chowdown Showdown!

Where's the best place for martinis in the Barrington and Lake Zurich area?

You know the drill: All you need to do is sign into our site and then comment below with your vote. Feel free to elaborate on why this bar or restaurant is the best.

You have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to let us know your favorite go-to place for martinis.

We'll post the finalists in a poll on Wednesday morning. The winner will be declared based on both votes received and on reviews and ratings left in Patch Places Lake Zurich and Patch Places Barrington. Details are outlined in the document at right. 

Voting will continue through 5 p.m. Friday. We will post the Showdown winner first thing Saturday morning.

Sound good? Great. Now lets get the voting rolling. Which restaurant or bar do you think has the best martinis in the Barrington/Lake Zurich area?
