What people are saying:
The board of trade is secretly home to my favorite bar- Ceres. But be warned though, the drinks are cheap, strong, and they close at 8ish (b/c everyone is done by then). Only open during the week, this is where the traders hang. Drinks don't come mixed, ie. if you order a jack and coke, you get a glass of whiskey and a coke on the side for about $5.

Additional Information
Introduction
One of the most iconic landmarks in the city of Chicago, the Chicago Board of Trade towers above West Jackson Boulevard. Constructed in 1930 by Holabird and Root, and fully renovated in 2006 for $20 million, this art deco building features Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, on the top of the roof as a symbol of the Board’s functions. All the renovations were done to restore the building to its original splendor. When it was impossible to recreate an original element, restorers substituted a new one in a style that matched the original. Make this a stop on your tour of Chicago, especially if you love historic buildings.

Great tour, but must see the floor in action; impressive.
Ceres the Goddess of Grain watches over the financial district from atop the fabulous art deco Board of Trade Building.
Inside the Board of Trade are the agricultural trading floors that date back to the early 20th century. The floors are still used today for day traders trading future derivatives and options. The building itself is a Chicago landmark from the Art Deco period. Go inside for more detail if you love Chicago architecture and art deco details!
One of Chicago's iconic buildings. The trading floor makes for an interesting spectacle.
