The Red Lion Pub in Lincoln Park. The Reuben sandwich there is really good. Also the pubs beautiful and quiet when its not too packed.

Definitely a big fan of all the speakeasy type bars in Chicago.

Shoutout to The Alderman in Pilsen if you’re looking for cocktails.

I just got back from Carol’s Pub in… Ravenswood? Andersonville? Both? It was very nice! Good atmosphere and not pricey.

Maria’s Packaged Goods and Community Bar. A ton of beer on tap, lots of space indoor and outdoor, multiple restaurants that change over time, consistently good staff, option to stock up on your way out, in the interesting side of the city.
