Bucktown

According to local historians, Bucktown acquired its name from the goats that where raised in the area by polish immigrants (apparently, male goats are known as Bucks, who knew?). Today, Bucktown is primarily a residential neighborhood. It's one of Chicago’s smaller regions and is located between, what a lot of people would consider, more lively neighborhoods; Wicker Park and Logan Square. Bucktown isn't as much of a destination as its neighbors, and the restaurants and bars are very low-key, humble and unassuming. This is what makes the area great and why I make my home here. Bucktown is full of small, hidden gems that cater to its residents.

The Bristol seems like it is underrated when it comes to the local dining scene, you don't hear much about it. Yet, it really is one of the best restaurants in Chicago and was named one of the 10 best new restaurants in the country by GQ. The menu changes based on seasonal selections and everything is a shared plate. This is also a great brunch spot, typically their is little to no wait and you'll get a fantastic meal.
