The Matchbox

Late night

West Town’s local favorite: a sliver-thin space that’s been pouring bold, old-school cocktails since ’95, tucked between Wicker Park’s buzz and the river’s edge. Open late, but never crowded—locals know the wait’s worth it for a drink in a room smaller than your average kitchen.
