Drinks & Nightlife

If you're in Wrigleyville, Metro is a fun place to catch a concert or go night clubbing. It's fairly casual and attracts a diverse crowd of people. Fun place, usually closes at 4AM.

INCREDIBLE, beautiful and whimsical tiki bar created by mixologist and all-around Chicago legend Paul McGee. The coolest bar in the neighborhood. I recommend visiting on a week night.

Paris Club is a night club and dinner spot. Mostly a night club. It's a little fancy, the kind of place you have to wear heels and a dress to get into. Great DJs, though. Usually.

Located under the el tracks, Bowtruss serves up some of the best coffee in the city. It's a little snooty, but the product is 100% legit.

Hip Sushi bar and Japanese BBQ spot with a really awesome, really cheap happy hour that runs from Monday-Saturday 5pm-6:30pm. Order the weirder things on the menu--they're the best.

There are two locations in the city, but Black Dog Gelato in Wicker Park is a must-try. They serve really unique gelato flavors like Caramel Goat Cheese & Vanilla, or Mexican Hot Chocolate.

Beatrix is great for a full brunch nearby the house (not the best in the city though). They also have great coffee and the best pastries in the area.

Everything Else

Easily the most popular restaurant in the city and one of the best. It's pretty much locals-only. I do NOT recommend you go during the weekend at night, the wait is over an hour.
