The Taproom (aka Anything and Everything Beer)

[trickyseven]

Hey Chicago fam, any can't miss places to eat while we're in town? We're staying near the Magnificent Mile, planning to go into the loop on Thursday. Saturday is Cubs game so we'll be up that way most of the day. It's probably verboten but Giordano's is on the list somewhere as I got to get some Chicago style while I'm there.

Spiaggia for Italian food. Little $$ but worth it
Benny's Chop House for steak, though you are from Dallas so you may be good on steak.
Lou Malnati's for Chicago pizza
XOCO for lunch, though again, being from Dallas, your Mexican food is probably better than ours.
DMK for burgers is my favorite but also check out au Cheval (or sister restaurant small Cheval in the loop).
Untitled Supper Club is great if you are looking for a speakeasy

And you should 100% do an architectural tour on the river before you go (if the weather is nice).

Let me know if you are looking for anything more specific. Also feel free to DM me.

Drinking some kind of Imperial Red that I don't remember the name of. It's a gorgeous night--finally feels a bit like summer. I'll grab a bottle of something to share with my husband at home after this.

Local brew pub started canning and selling their beers on the market. This will be dangerously delicious.

I'll be right around the Commons though I also really liked the German Village area. I like to cycle everywhere and downtown seems pretty accessible, especially for Brewery's haha.

I love Rauchbiers and this was a good summer one.
