Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square is like being in a small town within the city. It's a blend of people from all cultures, ages and walks of life. A pedestrian-friendly strip brings a great mix of casual eateries and upscale restaurants, European-style cafes, independent stores and fun things to do like touring Half Acre Brewery, catching a new release at Davis Theater or laying on a blanket in Welles Park. We love it for its chill vibe, tree-lined streets and plenty of things to see, do, taste and try. Here are some of our favorites.

Feels like it’s straight out of Germany and always a good time. Lincoln Square is a german-influenced neighborhood and this bar fits right in with its german beers and spirits. It has an old world charm and feels like it’s been there since the Chicago fire, but it was established in 1985. It's always crowded, but a good kind of crowded with great people. The enormous front windows are almost always open, where you can sit on stools and watch the action on Lincoln Ave. During Lincoln Square’s two festivals, Maifest and Octoberfest, this bar becomes a focal point of the festivities. Tip: There’s no food here—only drinks—so don’t come hungry.
