Ukrainian Village

This historic district is home to both old and new — century-old cathedrals share real estate with trendy cafes. As the traditionally working-class Eastern European enclave draws in younger residents, with it comes creativity in the form of forward-thinking restaurants, innovative cocktail bars and specialty boutiques. But that's not all there is — the spirit of Ukrainian Village endures through its welcoming accessibility.

Chicago has a pretty big reputation to uphold when it comes to pizza - besides a killer hotdog, good pizza is one culinary expectation of this city. Roots has dodged the critics by taking a Quad Cities spin on pizza, even amidst the deep dish fame of traditional Chicago style 'za. By using dark roasted malt in their crust, they create a thick, sweet, and marvelous base for some delicious pie concoctions. It’s not traditional – but it’s a treat. Their “midwest is best” mentality may not be seen any better than their constantly updated draft lists from the Chicago-area’s heaviest hitting breweries (Pipeworks, Three Floyds). This is without a doubt the best spot in the neighborhood to grab a limited release beer.
