This food-driven sports bar just blocks from the United Center in the West Loop has chef Rodney Staton at the helm, bringing his experience at Longman and Eagle, Spiaggia, The Wit Hotel and most recently Bite Cafe to create an elevated twist on typical bar food. Instead of buffalo wings you'll find turkey wings with a house-made buffalo sauce or Midwestern favorites like mac 'n' cheese with cheese curds. Yes, there’ll be traditional entrees like fish and chips, but expect a wide variety of healthier alternatives using fresh and organic ingredients when possible. To drink, weekend brunchers will go for the signature bloody mary with meat, cheese and veggies skewers and nighttime loungers will sip on renditions of classic cocktails like the margarita manhattan or martini. For the after work crowd, there are 18 beers on draft and about 75 craft brews by the bottle and can. Booths equipped with 22-inch flat screen TVs (the manager will change the channels via iPad) and an elevated private dining area are available for larger or high-profile parties. (United Center athletes who want to drop by after the game, perhaps?)

The Ogden is located at 1659 W. Ogden Ave. in Chicago's Near West Side Neighborhood
