1. Three Floyds Brewery & Pub
My brother-in-law from Michigan asked me to stop here to get him some beer on my way out of town.
***They do not sell beer "to-go" on Sundays, it is against the law.
First of all I thought I was lost and then found Three Floyds. It's in an industrial…More »
2. Bar on Buena
Chicago, IL 60613
(773) 525-8665
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Uptown
Update 6/1/08
The BOB burger, which has a fried egg on it, is pretty damn good.
------------------------------ -----------------------
What a great, down-to-earth crowd! Not many trixies or chads here....
Good beer selection. Small menu but burgers and…More »
3. Moody's Pub
Chicago, IL 60660
(773) 275-2696
Categories:
Pubs,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Edgewater
Damn, I was almost the 200th review...
Best burger, really? Average at best. And no tomato to boot!
I remember Moody's being better in the past and our last trip was nothing special. Service was slow, small beer selection, and they give you a huge wad…More »
4. Martyrs'
Chicago, IL 60613
(773) 404-9494
Categories:
Music Venues,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: North Center
So you're telling me that I've lived in Chicago for 5 years and have never been to Martyr's? Really?
What is my f'in problem? I've heard from many that this venue has great sound quality and it does, hands down.
It's so small! You could reach out and…More »
5. Lakeview Ace Hardware
Chicago, IL 60613
(773) 525-1700
Category:
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhoods: Wrigleyville, Lakeview
I always forget about this place but it's nice to know it is so close. And it's much less of a hassle than going to The Depot.
It's a little cramped but they have a decent selection of "stuff" including paint, which is why I was there. After…More »
6. Burton Snowboards Flagship Store
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 202-7900
Category:
Outdoor Gear
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
I still can't believe there is a Burton flagship store in Chicago. And either can other people when I tell them.
The location is a little weird for me-- Walton Street right off of Michigan Avenue, really?
I wanted to get my Colorado-living…More »
7. Dana Hotel And Spa
Chicago, IL 60654
(888) 301-3262
*This review is for the downstairs bar at the Dana Hotel
A friend suggested we head to the Dana Hotel for drinks after dinner. The bar area was small but we were able to snag a seat by window. This isn't a place I would hang out normally but I did…More »
8. O'Shaughnessy's Public House
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 944-9896
When considering places to eat, I never put O'Shaughnessy's in that category. The food in the past has been lackluster, but seeing all these recent good reviews on the food, we gave it another try.
And we were pleasantly surprised! The goat cheese…More »

2.75 stars to be a smartass.

9. Pastoral
Chicago, IL 60601
(312) 658-1250
Categories:
Cheese Shops,
Delis
Neighbourhood: The Loop
Just from reading the Yelp reviews, I knew I was going to love Pastoral.
I can't wait to try every freakin' sandwich in this place. So far I can knock the Sinfully Healthy and Santorini off my list. Both were delicious. I also like their wine…More »
10. Theology on Tap
The concept: Host a speaker at church. Invite young adults in their 20s and 30s. Serve beer (thus the Tap).
Church attendance among young people in the Catholic Church has been declining. This is the Archdiocese of Chicago's way of trying to change…More »
11. Ravinia Festival
In one word - magical. And I don't use this word a lot.
If you get lawn seats, don't expect to see the performers. Go with a good group of people, bring chairs, food, and liquor. Sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. I have entertained several out of…More »
12. Dollop Coffee & Tea
How could I pass up the chance to be the 100th review for Dollop?
First, I would like everyone to take a moment of silence for the nearby and recently closed Urban Tea Lounge. May it rest in peace as one of the coolest places in Chicago.
Like many have…More »
13. Paulina Market
Chicago, IL 60657
(773) 248-6272
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Lakeview
Paulina is still 4 stars but do not get the lamb stuffed mushrooms.....yuck. I wonder if anyone has gotten them for a dinner party and grossed out the guests? They are way gamey.

14. Montrose Dog Beach
Chicago, IL 60640
This review is coming from a person who does not own a dog.
Without cable, we have been having to get creative when it comes to entertaining ourselves. Sad, I know. But, we figure that we should be outside anyway so we decided to venture to Montrose…More »
15. Wine Discount Center
4.5 stars
I am on a constant search for that one wine that 1) I like the taste 2) my husband likes the taste 3) is in the $10-$13 price range. Sounds easy, right? Well I've been on the search for this wine for the last couple years and have yet to…More »
16. Nadeau Furniture
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 728-3497
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Home Decor,
Wholesale Stores
Neighbourhood: Ravenswood
Jackpot!
Run, don't walk to this furniture store. Unique furniture for ultra-cheap prices. Tons of little end tables and hutches. If I had a bigger place I would buy that....and that....and that......
I never would have come across this place if it…More »
17. St Mary of the Lake
Yes, Patrick is right--they have instituted a new system for communion that has ushers releasing people pew by pew. Much more organized (except for the people who have not caught onto this system).

Categories:
Grocery,

Neighbourhoods: Wrigleyville, Lakeview
I LOVE the Global Foods Hot Bar. It's a smorgasbord of good, hot food. Don't forget about it when looking for lunch options.
Workers are helpful & friendly.
