Tiny Tavern on Navy Pier

Befitting of its name, Tiny Tavern is a small but mighty cocktail bar serving classics (think dark and stormy, Moscow mule and whiskey sour). The food offerings are surprisingly robust, with plenty of bar nibbles to pair with your booze. Order a Chicago dog, roasted sweet potato empanadas or the street corn nachos, which are piled high with cheese, pickled jalapeños and cilantro.
