Irish Pub · Andersonville · 152 tips and reviews
Cynthia H: Great fish and chips, but don't forget the malted vinegar. ^_^ Coleslaw is mediocre, this is my first time having it here.
Preston Harden: Love the Fish and Chip(with malt vinegar of course) as well as the artichoke and cheese dip, the mussels can be ok when they are in season
Chelsey Orlando: All you need to know is lobster mac and cheese made with truffle oil AND the meatloaf. You will not be disappointed.

Fish Market · Portage Park · 24 tips and reviews
S H: My personal favorite, fried smelt. So simple and yet so tasteful. Cheap fish but generous in flavor. Eat and enjoy at outside tables.
Chicago Tribune: Try the Smoked Salmon Candy: These thin salmon slabs are brined in brown sugar, maple syrup and salt overnight and then basted with honey right as it enters its four-hour oak and maple wood smoking. Read more.

Réjane T: Great variety on tap and slightly seasoned breading and malt vinegar make for mighty fine fish n chips.
Aaron K.: Excellent dinner and fantastic service. Big portions. This place has true class. A great supper club vibe in the heart of Chicago.
Explore Chicago: In the film The Lake House (2006), Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) pours her heart out over a teary round of drinks in scenes filmed at Miller's Pub. Read more.
Jordi Fakiani: All the dishes are amazingly crafted & presented - but the ones I really enjoyed were: #1 Jamón Serrano + cheese piece of bread, #2 the oysters & #3 the chocolate + marshmallows + ice cream desert :-)
Sejal: The beef tartar, lamb and roasted chicken were great. As was the potatoes bravas and corn. The pork confit was meh in comparison. We ordered all of the desserts for our party and loved the avocado ice
Brandon: Happy hour! Great cocktails and small plate snacks
11. Green Door Tavern

678 N Orleans St (at Huron St), Chicago, IL
Speakeasy · River North · 76 tips and reviews
Gareth Jones: Solid pub food, great beer selection including often obscure breweries. Pretty low ceilings giving it a cosy feel, Green Door is one of the more historically relevant bars in Chicago.
Adam Seger: Green Door Chile with lots of hot sauce washed down with a tall hum & soda will cure the common cold.
Bekki J. Chapman: I don't know first hand but I hear the urinals are extremely tall. Best used by those 5' 9" or taller.

Acorn Cabin Rentals near Dollywood: Good beer deals, not so good liquor drink deals...kind of dark in there, but a good neighborhood place.

New American Restaurant · Fulton River District · 96 tips and reviews
Chicagoist: An outdoor bar makes casual, bi-level The Dawson a go-to among al fresco enthusiasts, the wisest of whom snag shotcicles and frozen mai tais to accompany their burgers and chicken-fried lobster. Read more.
Serious Eats: You'll find cocktails, a daily dram, and an assortment of non-alcoholic concoctions from an in-house soda jerk here.
Christopher: Woah, their menu went all deconstructed after the New Year - see the Hunters Consommé and the freeze dried ice cream Pecan Banana Bread
