The Ledge Bar & Grill

With a simple, value-driven menu focused on burgers, fries and beer, this neighborhood bar isn't reinventing the wheel -- but that's pretty much the point. Have a seat on bright-orange stools lining the granite-topped bar, or claim an espresso-hued table for your crew. Expect rock 'n' roll on the sound system, but not so loud you can't carry on a conversation with your pals.

Four beers on tap (Miller High Life, Stella, Miller Lite and Goose Island's Matilda), a few house wines and a full bar covers the basics in the drinking department. Half-pound Angus burgers sided with your choice of traditional, curly or sweet potato fries are the main focus here, with a handful of salads, sandwiches and vegetarian-friendly options rounding out the menu.  Need some air? Grab a seat in front of the sliding doors near the entrance, or take your drink out to the fenced-in back patio.
