This rock and roll dive has one of the best jukeboxes in town in the main room (so you can play DJ Fridays and Saturdays) and hires DJs for Sunday through Thursday who know their Buzzcocks from their Bullocks. Add a selection of more than 1,000 whiskeys (bourbon, Scotch, Irish) and around 200 beers (Belgian, microbrews, seasonals) plus frequent free movie nights, and you have a bar to call home.
Lincoln Park truly lives up to Chicago’s “city in a garden” motto, with its massive namesake park, long stretch of beaches, and a free zoo and conservatory that provide a perfect way to spend an entire day immersed in nature. But you shouldn’t head out as soon as the sun sets. The neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of nightlife destinations ranging from a cocktail bar offering tarot readings to a legendary blues club. You can take in the gorgeous views of Lake Michigan from a rooftop bar or get lost in another world at a pop-up focused arcade bar. Enjoy everything Lincoln Park has to offer by checking out one of these great bars.
