The owners of Websters Wine Bar, the popular Lincoln Park hangout, have branched out with this Bucktown gastropub. The stylish interior is rustic-industrial, featuring salvaged lighting fixtures and reclaimed wood--even the bathroom doors come from a shuttered Catholic grammar school. The beer menu is extensive, with about 50 selections that put small-batch, hand-crafted brews in the spotlight. (But there's also a wine list that even oenephiles will love.) The food is better than what you might expect--and cheaper too: light bites, salads, flatbreads, individually priced meats and cheeses, and thoughtful but not-too-fussy entrees. This is natural pick when you're looking for a midweek hangout or an easygoing weekend destination.

"Horrible Service"
By Ann from Bucktown, November 16, 2008
This place seemingly boasts much class but actually has none. The arrogant bar and wait staff is such a turn-off. You will not even get to the fo...
