Cooper's--A Neighborhood Eatery
- Neighborhood: Lakeview
- 1232 W. Belmont Ave.
- Chicago, IL 60657
- 773-929-2667
- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
This casual Lakeview neighborhood spot serves gourmet pizzas, panini and pastas, but the real attraction is the barbecue, dry rubbed and smoked in house, and served with Cooper’s own homemade sauce. Try the hickory-smoked baby backs or get it in a pulled pork panino or mesquite-smoked brisket sandwich, then wash it down with one of nearly 100 beers available by the bottle. During warmer months, the covered back patio, complete with sofas and a 52-inch TV, more than doubles the size of the place.
