Drinks & Nightlife
This is by far my favorite bar in all of Chicago. They play all music on vinyl, and you feel like you're at a house party based on the setup. Cash only bar, with no ATM.

If you feel like dancing, go to the back room at Bar Deville. Make sure to get there before midnight, or you'll find a long line on weekends.
