Things to do in Chicago, Illinois (IL): The Best Nightlife
The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

I can’t say enough about this beautiful restaurant! It was literally the whole package - super attentive staff, incredible food (the menu has a wide variety of choices, and the flavors are spot on and so clean), even the building itself and the rustic finishes contributed to what I would call a perfect experience! The show was engaging and I thought the whole space was well laid out for enjoying the music, the bar, the food, either together or separately. I also loved seeing the variety of ages in the audience and in the dining room, and I found myself wishing my whole family was there.

No matter where you live, what you do, or what walk of life you come from, Haymarket Brewing has a seat at the bar and a beer for you. We opened our brewery with a simple philosophy: make the highest quality beer we possibly can, and deliver it as fresh as we possibly can. It’s worked out pretty well so far. Our brewmaster Pete Crowley has won over 50 local, national and international brewing awards. Trust us when we say: our beers must be tasted to be believed. And we’ve combined those beers with probably the City’s best, most inventive made-from-scratch bar food. Add in a welcoming, festive atmosphere and the result is one of Chicago’s great casual brewpub experiences.

Great time at the bar! Really good assortment of beer for the beer aficionados- lives up to the reputation! For the wine drinking tag-a-longs - very solid Cabernet for a reasonable price- I was happy! 4 tvs at the bar to catch the game - all good things!

I was looking on line for bars in the Fulton Market area and this caught my eye. It’s not fancy. Struck me as a hangout for locals. The pizza was pretty good. They boast having 3 Floyd’s Zombie Dust on tap-always. I’ve been there twice now as we typically go to other establishments in Fulton Market. I was in there in a sport coat and my wife in a sexy dress and no one looked at us like we had “three eyes”. That’s pretty cool as we could just have easily been wearing jeans and t-shirts had it been a different night.
