Drinks & Nightlife

INCREDIBLE, beautiful and whimsical tiki bar created by mixologist and all-around Chicago legend Paul McGee. The coolest bar in the neighborhood. I recommend visiting on a week night.

Food Scene

Cool-casual restaurant with rich, fatty food and great cocktails. It's farm-to-table, high-end American comfort food. Great for Brunch, too.

Hip Sushi bar and Japanese BBQ spot with a really awesome, really cheap happy hour that runs from Monday-Saturday 5pm-6:30pm. Order the weirder things on the menu--they're the best.

Quirky doughnut shop with the most decadent doughnuts you've ever seen. My favorites are the Maple Glazed Pineapple & Bacon and Vanilla Goat Cheese doughnuts. They also serve good local coffee.

The absolute best Indian restaurant in the entire city. Highly recommended if you have a craving for it. Order the "Gobi Manchurian" appetizer and the "Buttered Naan".

Easily the most popular restaurant in the city and one of the best. It's pretty much locals-only. I do NOT recommend you go during the weekend at night, the wait is over an hour.

Everything Else

There are two locations in the city, but Black Dog Gelato in Wicker Park is a must-try. They serve really unique gelato flavors like Caramel Goat Cheese & Vanilla, or Mexican Hot Chocolate.

Arts & Culture

Paris Club is a night club and dinner spot. Mostly a night club. It's a little fancy, the kind of place you have to wear heels and a dress to get into. Great DJs, though. Usually.

If you're in Wrigleyville, Metro is a fun place to catch a concert or go night clubbing. It's fairly casual and attracts a diverse crowd of people. Fun place, usually closes at 4AM.
