Night Club · Wicker Park · 67 tips and reviews
Alyssa: Great selection of beers and a relaxed new wave environment. Delightfully underground in the best way.
Dana Jensen: Solid beer list, friendly bartenders, and killer music
Chicagoist: Every Thursday, Neo hosts an '80’s themed dance party that celebrates the best of new wave music. Living on Video is about wearing all black and dancing grimly in the dark. Sometimes there's a theme. Read more.

American Restaurant · Park West · 44 tips and reviews
Allison Kaminski: Great cocktails and large beer selection. Menu has changed quite some bit from elevated street food to more comfort food. Still the same awesome vibe!
Tasting Table: Fried food fans must get the duck wings. They come with buttermilk dressing and fiercely sour cherry mostarda for double-dipping: Read more.
Kelcy Hale: Beet flatbread, then muscle bowl with watermelon salad. Amaze. Can't believe my 'hood finally has such a great go-to! Excellent food/people @ The Peasantry.

Pub · Park West · 101 tips and reviews
Robert Grant: While Galway Arms is an authentic Irish bar, they have an nice beer selection so feel free to try something beyond the Guinness
Jared Pracht: Good craft beer tap selection. Homey atmosphere with knowledgeable servers. I've been just about everywhere downtown but this place is a new favorite.
Dana Jensen: Some of the best corned beef hash I've ever had, and good overall breakfasts. Seats by the front fireplace are wonderful on cold nights.
9. Toast
746 W Webster Ave (at N Halsted St.), Chicago, IL
Breakfast Spot · Lincoln Park · 80 tips and reviews
Colette McLaughlin: Delicious breakfast, be sure to get here early because the wait can be long! Eggs, pancakes and French Toast are delicious!
Jake Smith: The chocolate milk size "small" is very small, I would suggest going with the "large" for an adult. For food, I'd go with the B.E.L.T. or a Benedict dish.
Archimedes Stuk: You absolutely cannot go wrong with the Eggs Benedict
