Suggestions for Lounge near Wicker Park, Chicago

Michael R. • November 25, 2017The perfect place to “lamp” a la curb season 9; or “lounge” a la normal people. Wednesdays at 6pm live music and cocktails.

David W. • January 30Historic club in Chicago. Great performances!

Proximity I. • October 4, 2014The wings and lobster is great.. Love the music and the staff is wonderful.

AFAR Media • August 4, 2014This isn’t a get up and mingle kind of joint, which makes it the perfect dark sexy lounge for romantic dates and quiet conversations about world domination. Try the pimento cheese toasts.

Time Out Chicago Kids • January 11, 2012Like its namesake, there's all the traditional breakfast staples for the kids, and organic and local fare for the adults.

Eater • August 2, 2016This coffee shop serves up some serious Joe in the form of Metric Coffee pour-overs, Chemex & cortados. Seating is spaced out among rows of high-top counters ideal for camping out solo with a laptop.

Phil W. • May 4, 2019Volumes may be my favorite bookstore in Chicago. Their curated selection of modern classics and new fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that one otherwise may not have heard of is profoundly good.
