Black Rock (CLOSED)

On the weekends, this polished Roscoe Village hangout is filled with local singles awkwardly trying to get some, and it’s sort of like watching a too-good-to-be-true episode of Blind Date. Go during the week when there’s nary a horndog in sight. Sampling the extensive list of Irish beers and whiskeys is best done in the back—a cool, open space with couches, a fireplace and old-school board games.
