Chicago

1935 N Damen Ave, at Homer; Bucktown; 773.904.8812

This freshly opened, narrow, cozy saloon is homily bedecked a la a chick's bedroom w/ pics of the owners, staff, and friends (a group they'd like to include you and, ultimately, of course Kevin Bacon), as they serve up classic pub grub like jumbo wings (hot/BBQ/honey mustard/Italian) and their 6 Degree Burger (usual suspects plus avocado). Stay tuned for the forthcoming debut of the horseshoe, a mound of meat (hamburger, chicken, Italian beef) piled on Texas toast and French fries and liberally covered in cheese sauce they're having specially shipped in from the home of the horseshoe Springfield, our own ample seat of government.
