Drinks & Nightlife

Incredibly charming bar filled with couches, little tables, and living room vibes. The cocktails are delicious and complex. They have a gin focus, but some of their specialties are not gin based. They have a glorious gin list, so you could spend all day in there trying them. The food is fantastic, and the spiced honey included on the charcuterie board is no joke. Amazing place to hang out.

Lovely "speakeasy" style lounge: aka there is no obvious front entrance, just a door (and usually a line of people in front of it). I've been here several times and it's a great place to enjoy a drink with a small group of friends. The ambiance is probably one of the bests in Chicago when it comes to bars and lounges. They ask that you do not use your cell phones in the lounge, dress appropriately, and not be too loud, and it created a warm personal experience. All cocktails are $13 with a rotating menu as well as a classical menu. They do offer spirits as well.

A very relaxed vibe here. Bands are talented and a lot of fun to listen to. Drink prices are definitely acceptable. The only downside is the cover charge on weekends is a bit high - $15 for a Friday night.

Food Scene

The food is absolutely amazing all the different types of burgers you can get as well as mac & cheese. The fried pickles are also amazing. The atmosphere is a little hard-core but also amazing. The service is very friendly and nice and has no problem explaining all the beers are food on the menu. It can get pretty busy but how can you blame them when you have such amazing food.

There is usually a wait but it is well worth it. It's world famous and you won't be disappointed! It's an old-school diner with a vagrant twist. One of the oldest vegan restaurants in the country. The staff is very friendly, the menu is big and the portions are huge too.

This little gem in Lincoln Park is our go-to for quick delicious pasta! You see every pasta dish being made in front of you at the bar. Indoor seating with open veranda. Friendly servers, but a very small space. Reasonable prices, plenty of food, and excellent calamari!

This place is excellent. Wonderful service, has a bar, free parking and they have valet. The menu has a lot of options. The flaming cheese was delicious. The olive oil and bread were delightful. The ambiance of the place is great and had a hunger-inducing aroma in the atmosphere.

Its menu is full of comfort food and the prices are fair. My favorite items are the eggs benedict and the southern decadence (biscuits and gravy). Their cinnamon buns are a real treat and are warm when they come out. Their fruit cup actually has a great variety of fruit (not just gross melon and grapes). The staff is super friendly.
