Food Scene

This is a very close and very cozy latino-inspired gastro-pub. Super cheap craft beers, great (and huge) food, and delicious cocktails, too.

The restaurant most non-Pilsen residents have been to (as you could tell from the line out the door), and it's been here for years. BYOB and inexpensive.

The fanciest restaurant in Pilsen, and located in the heart of Art Gallery row. It's a classy way to spend $50+ on a meal, and it's one you will not soon forget.

Awesome drinks, great comfort food, and most nights features some incredible live music. It's the kind of place that feels better when it's crowded, and the interior has great style.

The best tacqueria in Pilsen in our humble opinion, and it's open super late! Unbeatable steak or pork tacos.

Great and unique interior made from salvaged materials. Nice selection of beer & spirits, great food, though it's a little too chaotic on busy nights.

Drinks & Nightlife

One of the best "dive bars" in Chicago, though it's far cozier than dive bars in other neighborhoods. Great beer selection, great tater tots, and not too crowded on week nights.

One of the oldest (and least known) bars in the city. It seems sketchy on the outside, but is incredibly cozy inside. Huge selection of spirits & beers, and you can even buy beer to go!
