One of the best collections of single malt scotch in the world is on Wabash. This is a must go if you want to be blown away by choice, value, knowledgable staff and a warm friendly atmosphere.
The beer selection is top-notch. Ask for help, and they'll talk you through some of their Chicago nanobrews and some hard-to-find specialty beers.
Excellent selection of Italian wines. And vodkas!

Seriously great bar...so nondescript from the street that you'd almost miss it. Built-in table top checkers & great cocktails. The whiskey mule is tasty.
The bartenders know what's up. Appreciate the art they bestow.
Their special selection of Evil Twin barrel aged brews is a great surprise. Yes, it's a great cocktail bar, but you won't find a Laphroaig barrel aged beer anywhere. beer blah? Get a Van Winkle then.

Ceviche all the way! I loved the shrimp one and the octopus one. All dishes are fantastic, a nice surprise. The wine selection is great, too. The ambiance is very pleasant as well, highly recommended!
The service was really bad, the server didn’t come to our table. We asked for a glass for the beer for 3 different waiters. The food was ok but the ceviche portion was too small.
My go-to spot for anyone - fantastic menu, always excellent service and the music is always on-point. Perfect for dates, family dinners, visitors, or just grabbing $1 Oysters at Happy Hour.
The shrimp pot pie is outstanding. Great whiskey list as well.
$1 oysters from 5-6:30pm. Get some.
Everyone talks about the mozzarella sticks - they are a must! We enjoyed a half and half pie with pulled pork on one side and sausage on the other.
Good suff here
The handmade mozzarella sticks! Hands down the best!!! They ain’t lying people!!!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
