I went to a New Orleans style bar in Chi town when I was there in July and thought it sucked. The Local Option. Terrible food, rude staff, weird atmosphere. Had a nice beer selection though, but that can be found many places up there. Walked down the street to a bar on the corner and had a much better time.

Know exactly where it is, near Depaul in Lincoln Park. Never been but probably driven past it 300 times.

My buddy in Chicago says the 2 best pizza joints are Piece (for thin crust) and My Pie (for deep dish). Does he know what he's talking about?

Piece is in my neighborhood- solid for thin crust. Cool place too. They brew their own beer also.

My Pie is ok. I order takeout sandwiches from there all the time, never get pizza though.

There was also a Mexican place near downtown that was really good and absolutely crawling with babes .. don't recall the name though. Almost like a club atmosphere in there, but not that douchey.

Mercadito? If so, Love that place.

Don't bother. It sucked. The bar down the street though was called Derby Bar & Grill and it was pretty cool. Had a younger more normal crowd, good beer selection, cute waitresses, and there was a DJ there that night playing 80s and 90s tunes accompanied with music videos. We had a nice drunk throwback dance party

Also down the way was McGees which was pretty cool but a ton of younger DePaul kids.

Good stuff. They're both on my list for next visit.
