Villains (CLOSED)

After being closed for a few years, the South Loop bar underwent a complete revamp, changing hands and addresses. The changes paid off—not only does chef Dennis Stover challenge the idea of bar food with a thoughtful menu of dishes like fall-apart tender pork shoulder with pickled cherries, but the regularly changing beer menu includes 40 well-selected beers, including brews from places like Norway and Spain that you can’t easily find elsewhere in Chicago.
