THE BARRELHOUSE FLAT Since opening with 70 classics, this ambitious bar has added original cocktails, too. 2624 N Lincoln Ave (773-857-0421). file under:  cocktailians, late night

THE OGDEN What’s a hipster doing at a sports bar near United Center? Checking out Bite alum Rodney Staton. 1659 W Ogden Ave (312-226-1888). file under: game on
