  • The Burlington
    Music venue
    The Burlington Logan Square
    Removed from the well-populated bar village sitting just east on Milwaukee Avenue, the Burlington—which had a hefty stake in the neighborhood's realm of hip prior to the recent gold rush—reinvented itself last year by adding a well-booked, acoustically sound back-room »
  • California Clipper
    Corner Tap
    California Clipper Humboldt Park
    This neighborhood landmark, complete with vintage neon sign out front, offers a uniquely appealing combination of dive bar affordability and art deco class—nowhere else in the city can you feel quite as Bogart-and-Bacall while kicking back cheap PBRs. Jeans and »
  • Delilah's
    Music Bar
    Delilah's Lincoln Park

  • Hungry Brain
    Classic Bar
    Hungry Brain Roscoe Village  1

  • Union Pizzeria
    Pizza
    Union Pizzeria Evanston
    Evanston's hipster lounge is located in this restaurant along a commercial strip dominated by grocery stores. A mix of funky and sleek looks, it's got old moderne couches arranged along its all-glass streetside wall. The bartenders are amiable, smart, and »
  • The Whistler
    Music venue
    The Whistler Logan Square
    Part storefront art installation, part eclectic music venue (and record label), mostly craft-cocktail mecca, the Whistler is a Chicago destination, forget about neighborhood spot. Just don’t let the Friday- and Saturday-night lines deter you from visiting at more reasonable hours. »
