The owners of Websters Wine Bar, the popular Lincoln Park hangout, have branched out with this Bucktown gastropub. The stylish interior is rustic-industrial, featuring salvaged lighting fixtures and reclaimed wood--even the bathroom doors come from a shuttered Catholic grammar school. The beer menu is extensive, with about 50 selections that put small-batch, hand-crafted brews in the spotlight. (But there's also a wine list that even oenephiles will love.) The food is better than what you might expect--and cheaper too: light bites, salads, flatbreads, individually priced meats and cheeses, and thoughtful but not-too-fussy entrees. This is natural pick when you're looking for a midweek hangout or an easygoing weekend destination.

"Good vibe"
By racingpastwebster from Lincoln Park, June 30, 2009
This is one of my favorite hangouts recently. Bluebird has a good vibe -- not too sports bar-y like most Chicago bars, and it's down-to-earth and ...
