Handlebar

Wicker Park's go-to spot for creative plant-based cocktails and craft beers in a no-pretense setting that draws everyone from tattooed regulars to West Loop transplants. Their scratch-made comfort food actually tastes good—not like you're settling—and the beer garden keeps the scene buzzing until midnight. Hit it for late-night eats and drinks without the velvet-rope vibe that plagues most Chicago nightlife.
