The beer garden is a particularly fine place to pass time before and after but especially during a Cubs game.

The place does the trick in a neighborhood without a lot of boozing options.

The Albany Park brewery's beer is plenty tasty, too.

The team here knows their stuff and can make wine accessible to both experts and newbies.

Downtown turned into a sea of green for the annual occasion.

Cozy, classy, and accessible to anyone–this new cocktail bar is perfect for Saturday nights.

For after-dinner drinks on Randolph Street, look to the alley behind Sushi Dokku.

The decor is spot-on, because most of it is actually Prohibition-era.
