    Best Way to Dessert Your Drink
    Black & tan float at Paramount Room

    Jon Young and chef Stephen Dunne gave Roscoe Village a dependable wine bar in Volo, but the partners long have wanted to open a beer-focused spot as well. Last year they did just that, delivering a loungey gastropub where you can play a game of pool, drink a fancy Belgian ale like the spicy, golden La Chouffe, and munch on beer-perfect eats like a Kobe burger, ale-steamed mussels, and fish and chips. For dessert, they went all the way with combining the drinking and dining experience, making ice cream out of Guinness and floating scoops of it in Abita root beer. 415 N Milwaukee Ave, 312-829-6300.

      I HATEclicking on each restaurant --this is so tedious I won't be back-- I imagine that your advertisers buy space according to how many clicks you can FORCE your readers to go through to get anywhere...and that's why you have made this site impossible for your readers--better to find a less annoying way to increase revenue... This site is RIDICULOUS!

      You want a comment on the article? No can do. When I see I have to wade through at least 20 pages I just stopped at page one. What are folks thinking? Have you no respect for those who visit your site?

      Golly, the set-up of this article is painful and exceedingly user-unfriendly. A one-page list with links to details would be a lot more usable, as others have commented.

      I'm losing the will to live. Just show the list for crying out loud. If I want to read your critics justification give me a link to go to the article

      We live in the south suburbs and are looking for somewhere "new" to go to for our anniversary. What do you think of this restaurant, and is it worth the trip? Thank you. We are going tomorrow eve.

      I agree that trying to read this article is the pits on this new site. Very slow to load, and that's especially annoying when there's only one paragraph per page. Big thumbs down.

      The new beta site.. yuk! There isn't enough time in my life to view your articles one at a time. And I have a fast internet connection. On a smartphone forget about it. The search engine went from terrible to horrendous, and I was just getting started on figure it out.
