We’re so excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you. If you want any more recs, just ask!
Prost!
2566 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614, (773) 880-9900
This is our favorite place so have a beer, eat all the pretzels and cheese, and play some cards with friends. It's your typical German beer hall, but better!
Happy Camper Pizzeria
1209 North Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60610, (312) 344-1634
Classic & creative pizzas plus cocktails served in a warehouse setting with tire swings & Airstreams. One of our favorite things to get is the hangover coffee ;)
Millennium Park
Chicago, IL
We love wandering through Millennium Park on a nice day - Cloud Gate (i.e. the Bean), Art Institute of Chicago, Cindy's Rooftop, Lurie Gardens, and anything else you could want right there within walking distance and in the heart of the city.
Lincoln Park Zoo
2001 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60614, (312) 742-2000
It's free and there are animals - what's not to love?! Walk around the park after and look out for the awesome farmer's market on Saturday morning.
Museum Campus
Chicago, IL
Some of the best museums and best veiws in the world (we're only slightly bias).
Navy Pier
Navy Pier, Chicago, IL
Warning: extremely touristy! But worth the walk around if you've never been to Chicago before.
Half Acre Beer Company
4257 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60618, (773) 754-8488
We LOVE breweries! This is one of Wesley's favorites. A little ways north, but well worth it. Daisy Cutter is their flagship pale ale, but Wesley's favorite is the Vallejo IPA.
Lagunitas Brewing Company Chicago
2607 West 17th Street, Chicago, IL 60608, (773) 522-1308
Another favorite brewery of ours. We recommend doing the free tour if you have time, otherwise the taproom upstairs is still great for a quick drink. You can't go wrong with any of their beers!
Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!
2024 North Halsted Street, Chicago, IL 60614, (773) 935-5000
If you didn't know before, you will after this wedding - we LOVE tapas! Try some Spanish tapas and house sangria at this awesome Lincoln Park staple.
Quartino Ristorante
626 North State Street, Chicago, IL 60654, (312) 698-5000
Quartino might be one of our all time favorite restaurants. Tapas. Again, need I say more? This is our go to, where we take everyone who visits us in Chicago, and where we stop in if we're missing Italy (which is always).
