Neighborhood: Uptown

Chicago, IL 60640

Sofo, which stands for South of Foster, features a bright red palette and colorful local art, which makes this a casual neighborhood hang to grab a drink. Located in the former Different Stroke space, expect a mostly gay and lesbian crowd. TVs and flatscreens behind the bar will show videos and other entertainment while you sip your drink. When warm weather and sun makes an appearance, the spot's most noteworthy feature is its backyard-style beer garden with a wooden fence, greenery and bar built out of an old garage.
