The trendy and hip bars may be in the Gold Coast and Loop neighborhoods, but if you are looking for something fun and local the far north side will make you happy. In the Uptown neighborhood saddle up to the bar at the Uptown lounge for a quick beer and a calm and cozy environment. Get down to jazz tunes and big band music at the famous Green Mill Lounge, then head next door to Crew, a casual gay-friendly sports bar. In quaint Andersonville, try a new beer at Hopleaf, a fantastic bar for Belgian beers, sip on a local cocktail concoctions at In Fine Spirits, then have a milkshake with your beer and burger at Hamburger Mary's. If you are ready for more, head to the patio at Madrigal's or squeeze into Marty's Wine bar for a quick martini. Further north head to two local favorites, Morseland and Ravenswood Pub for a casual evening.
