Beatnik on the River. Also a great wine bar right above it. Good Funk.

Thanks for the great guide. Heading there in August for a bachelor party (12 guys mostly late 20's). We're staying around the Gold Coast and will likely attempt to do one big sit down dinner. Any recommendations for a restaurant around Gold Coast that could accommodate a potentially loud and inebriated large group?

Thanks,

With 12 people, most restaurants will probably require to reach out ahead of time. Do some checking, but I'm thinking it'll be tough to book anything directly on OpenTable, Resy, and Tock. Don't get booted out of the restaurant for being TOO drunk, but few ideas of places that are used to larger groups: Quartino's, Gibsons Steakhouse (second floor private room), Frontier (full animal ordering available and Wicker is chalked with bars), and Topo Gigio (lively patio, walking distance from Gold Coast, and Wells St + Division makes for a great day and night of bar hopping).

Gibson’s is very good, very loud and lively, too.

Bookmarked this. Going to Chicago for the first time this summer. Cubs game, White Sox game, day trip to Milwaukee for a Brewers game.

Family of 5 so we have ourselves a nice Airbnb in the Lake View area. Couple of grocery stores nearby and its on the public transit route. Looking forward to Milly's, a good Chicago beef sandwich, cheese curds in Milwaukee and whatever other good tasting treats Chicago/Milwaukee have to offer.
