  Butterfield 8 on Centerstage Chicago - Butterfield 8 : 713 N. Wells, Chicago, (312) 327-0940, Bar,Restaurant - Bars, ...
In fact, the not-so-subtle name references the eponymous 1960 film starring Elizabeth Taylor as a long-fl-leather-glove-wearing, disaffected 1920s call girl in New York (BU8 is her telephone exchange).
Restaurateur Demetri Alexander (of State Room and Lola's Club Roulette, which formerly occupied the Butterfield space) never skimps on whimsical touches (the State Room featured a much-buzzed-about fur-covered hostess stand) and here his piece de resistance is the under-lit frosted glass floor, which glows in changing shades of incandescent blue, green and purple.
A James Bond color scheme is achieved by upholstered white leather walls, retro yellow velvet booths and a stainless steel and fl granite bar.

BUtterfield 8 is a 1960 film about a call girl (Elizabeth Taylor), posing as a model, who fears that she is on the verge of being permanently trapped in the occupation of prostitution, until she and one of her paramours (Laurence Harvey) fall in love.
Their tumultous relationship then threatens to engulf their loved ones--making eight characters in all.
