Didn't try the food, but the cocktails and beer selection were on point. If you're in from out of town make sure you drink your PseudoSue from the can!
Had a great lunch at Copper Kettle. Burger was fine, but the cheese curds were some of the best I've ever had. The $8 Bloody Mary was excellent, too!
$49 for 18 holes with a cart. Beautiful course but be warned - the back 9 is pretty damn tough.
Great selection of fresh IPAs and sessions, with a few other varieties to boot. Bonus points for their "crowlers" which are 32oz canned growlers. Stays fresh longer and easy to pack in a suitcase!
Good sports bar in the West Loop with $3.50 drafts on Thursdays (for your NFL viewing pleasure).
My favorite brewery in Chicago! A rotating list of beers keeps things interesting and growlers typically run $12-$14 which is pretty reasonable.
Family style fried chicken, appetizers, and your choice of potatoes runs you only $15. Awesome spot for a group, albeit out of the way.
A Mexican grocery store turned hipster paradise: fresh produce, cheap canned and dry goods, an upscale deli, and a selection of craft beer.
Excellent selection - one of my favorite Binny's. Always has some kind of deal on whatever type of booze your heart desires!
Get the double, with olives, and make sure to try the root beer at this Elmhurst staple.
The best Thai food in the area. Whether you want Chicken Pad Thai, or something more authentic, you literally cannot go wrong here.
"Fiercely independent" is a pretty pretentious tag for a store younger than the movie Finding Nemo, but The Book Table is a good alternative for those looking to support local bookstores.
Cheap and delicious. The woman behind the counter recommended the steak tacos and they did not disappoint. Friendly service, limited tables to sit at so get it to go.
