Guidebook for Chicago
Food Scene
Amazing food, excellently prepared, whiskey bar with awesome cocktails. I’m not a big meat eater, but with this gastro pub, I always make an exception. Fun vibe. They don’t take reservations so get their really early or just enjoy yourself at the bar while you wait. Go for dinner, but their weekend brunch is pretty delicious too!
