The Wolfhound Bar and Kitchen

Founded by a Chicago firefighter, this small Avondale bar is best known for serving an Irish breakfast, complete with bangers, rashers, black pudding, baked beans, eggs and brown bread. If you're not feeling quite that ravenous, you can always opt for a burger or a pizza (which can be topped with Irish bacon or sausage). But Wolfhound isn't just a spot to visit when you're hungry—there's plenty of Irish and local beer on tap as well as a short list of cocktails to enjoy. And if you're around on a nice day, there's a good chance that the garage door at the front of the bar will be open.
