If you're planning on making a full trip of our wedding, or plan to sneak away for a few activities of your own, we wanted to share our favorite Chicago spots for everyone to get started!
Cody's Public House
1658 West Barry Avenue, Chicago, IL 60657, (773) 799-8217
Our favorite (indoor pup friendly) neighborhood bar. Fun fact: also where we got our engagement pictures done.
Alice & Wonder - Southport

Great spot for hyper-local Chicago gifts and women's clothing (last minute wedding guest dress?)
Au Cheval
800 West Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607, (312) 929-4580
Awarded best burger in the US by multiple media outlets. It lives up to the hype. No reservations, so get there early and grab a drink at Lone Wolf next door while you wait!
