Cole Kennedy: Happy Camper is a good conundrum: It's a near perfect sports bar, but it's also a hip spot with great atmosphere, killer pizza and bar food, craft beer, and a dope soundtrack.

Bar · Old Town Triangle · 24 tips and reviews
Michael Binetti: Menu is really good. All burgers, pot pie, tuna steak, portobello sandwich. All really good.
Robert Gibbs: Get the lamb burger (when it's on)! Or just try the gorgonzola chips. Great neighborhood place for a school night!
Jake Smith: The garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious side with a sandwich, if you decide that you're not in the mood for french fries or tater tots.
Jason Broom: Only visited here once, but had the portabello mushroom reuben. I would do it again. And drink some beer while you're at it, but be safe. Somebody loves you.
Colleen Dilenschneider: Grilled portabella reuben is amazing! And so are the buffalo fries!
Erika B.: Best selection of beers on tap and in bottle. Awesome garlic fries and homemade bbq chips. Servers are really good and know their beer. ;-)

Italian Restaurant · Gold Coast · 39 tips and reviews
C Rolando: Chicken Marsala and Grilled Portabella Mushroom both were delicious. However, I ordered a margarita and it was awful and our cannoli was not fully stuffed but tasted good.
Hotel Indigo: This neighborhood haunt features a range of Italian comfort food that will bring back memories of your nonna’s kitchen. Choose among stone-fired pizzas, luscious pastas, as well as seafood. Read more.
Leyla Arsan: He gold diggers, I know you think that rich Gold Coast men. Hang out a few blocks south, but those are just suburbanite posers. Looking for real Gold Coast dudes, Mario's is the spot.

American Restaurant · River North · 26 tips and reviews
Katie: 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.
Eric Munn: The shrimp pot pie is outstanding. Great whiskey list as well.
Andy Swindler: $1 oysters from 5-6:30pm. Get some.
Stephen Lawrence: Get the fried calamari, frutti de mare and of course the tiramisu!!!!
Time Out Chicago: The toughest part of Mom's brunch here will be choosing between the smoked salmon omelette, the eggs Benedict and the fried eggs with spicy pesto.
troy vo: Great food but don't be on a timeline. Took over 2 hours for two of us to eat on a wednesday and we ended up skipping dessert cause we ran out of time.

Wine Bar · Streeterville · 13 tips and reviews
Yvonne Holden: DiSotto is a wonderful wine bar that opens daily at 5pm. It's a late night spot for late night people. Great wine, great staff, what else could a person want?
Time Out Chicago: Old World wine list and Mediterranean small plates: Scott Harris has nailed the formula at Purple Pig and Davanti Enoteca, so why mess with a good thing? Read more.
Raghav Chadha: Meat/salami platter is great and bigger than you think. Comes with great bread. Prosciutto and Coppa were great, wasn't a big fan of the Ndujo.

House of Blues: Best place in town to catch a comedy show!
