    One of my favorite bars in Chicago, chill yet modish scene with knowledgeable bartenders that serve up one hell of an Old-fashioned, among other cocktails.

    Come here for cocktails and you might just stay for a meal and a few more. The mixologists here make you appreciate the meaning of the word. Ask for a suggestion if you can't decide how to start.

    Golden tufted leather seatback bar stools, lattice designs on the walls, snazzy neon signs. This is the scene at this retro-styled North Side bar, but the vibe is much more modern. Read more

    Really extensive beer menu and fun cocktail list. Quiet place where it's easy to catch up with friends and pool tables in the back.

    I like this place, and would definitely make it my hang out. However, I wouldn't call these guys Mixologist. Guess I've been spoiled by the inventive, daring, and delicious cocktails I've had in NYC.

    Great bar with an awesome selection of beers. Happy hour on Sunday meant they were all half price: I left happy!

    Button-tufted bar seats and leather booths look comfy enough to nap in, and the cocktail list can also be enjoyed on the outdoor patio during warmer months Read more
