You know what's hot as the devil's oven (that's what the name means)? This bar and grill with a menu planned around a wood-burning brick oven. Think specialty pizzas like butternut squash with sage cream sauce, brick-oven chicken with sweet mashed potatoes, plus steak, seafood, pastas, burgers and more. Quaff beer, wine, or the Diablo martini with Absolut Mandarin, and pineapple and cranberry juices. Can't take the heat? Cool off on the patio of this prime Lincoln Park location, which used to be home to the Ollie's Bar and Grill and the short-lived Scullys. With a team involving guys from Cobra Lounge and Moonshine, this spot should heat up and stick around for awhile.
