Old Wisconsin barn boards cover the walls and two murals of Prohibition-era bootleggers hover above Moonshine's two glowing red bars, where cocktails served in glass jars are the drinks of choice. But the Moonshine beers are popular too! The Wicker Park spot redesigned its kitchen to make room for a brewery in spring 2008. Some of the brews include Action Club, a pale ale; Emo, a porter with coffee notes; Dizzy, a classic blonde wheat beer; and Brew-tal, a much stronger pale ale with lots of hops—recommended for beer geeks.On nights when DJs spin, expect to feel the bass pumping through your body as the volume dial gets turned way up. During summer months, locals spend the day and night cocktailing on the sidewalk cafe. Love New Mexico green chilies? The owners hope so. You can get them on your burger, in your omelet, on their own or with pretty much anything else the kitchen cooks up; other menu options include blackened catfish, fajitas, ribeye steak and thin-crust pizzas.

Okay, I have now tried this place twice. The first time, everything was fine, except the food, which was blah. I mean, it's so enticing with the ...
