Maeve

The name of this Lincoln Park spot means "she who intoxicates" in Gaelic. There's no question about the bar's ability to administer a good buzz, and judging by the crowds at this packed neighborhood spot, located in the old Blue Parrot, it's already intoxicated the locals. The classic detailing -- dark wooden bar, wood-paneled walls--gives this pub a stately feel, though owner Tiffany Moret is quick to say she hopes to keep things casual. There's a full bar, but the highlight is the wine list, with 18 available by the glass and few more boutique wines available by the bottle.

Maeve is located at 1325 W. Wrightwood Ave. in Chicago's Lincoln Park Neighborhood
