The Definitive Playlist for the Only Mayfest That Matters


Sure you may have gone to something called Mayfest this weekend but if you're looking for real German character, you gotta get to Lincoln Square.

  • Huettenbar - 3 1/2

    4721 N. Lincoln Ave. - Chicago (Lincoln Square)

    They serve great beer at this neighborhood joint and if you get the table by the window, life is good.

  • Glunz Bavarian Haus - 4

    4128 N. Lincoln Ave. - Chicago

    If you haven't filled up on wurst, you gotta check out the food along with the beers at this drinkin hole a bit further south on Lincoln.

  • Resi's Bierstube - 4 1/2

    2034 W. Irving Park Rd. - Chicago

    This one is a gem. Probably best to hit for a first beer on your way to the fest. Cool old school bar and a hidden patio out back make this a great place to get German food and beer.

  • Chicago Brauhaus - 4 1/2

    4732 N. Lincoln Ave. - Chicago (Lincoln Square)

    This is a must add to any list of German bar/restaurants. But, to be clear, I wouldn't go Mayfest weekend cause it'll be over-run. It's worth a trip back to the square so add it to your favorites.

This is for when I'm drunk.

Where would the Hamburglar go if he were hungry?

Road Trip!

I'm going to Chicago in a week for the biggest, badest, bestest fest this summer. The best part? Free entry (I'm volunteering) and free sleeping (thanks sister).
