Grainne Regan: "Intelligentsia is a fantastical coffee experience. The baristas lovingly create coffee concoctions. The pastries are pretty good too - try their savoury croissant and almond tart. Quality."
Mike: "Really solid gastropub with excellent beer and plenty of choices on the menu. Great vibe, friendly staff, close to the L - definitely check it out."
C Rey: "Boutique bicycles are great, don't get me wrong. But this is a place for excellent coffee and an equally pleasant environment. Great outdoor patio with hip old van. And yes you can buy a bike, too."
Staff Picks: "With an elevated take on Mediterranean fare, Ella Elli is a fine addition to busy Southport. And with an atmospheric nod to Art Deco, this spot is a good choice for intimate conviviality and wine."
Scott Byerly: "You can't go wrong with any of the flavors here. Columbus' original comes to Chicago with their first location here on Southport Ave. Try the Salted Caramel. They made it before it was popular!"
Chicagoist: "The variety of programming at the Music Box is unmatched in the city, afforded in no small part by the the house's unique ability to project just about every kind of film you want, from 16mm to 70mm."
Dan: "Their selection of craft beer is the best around. Great prices. They also have a person dedicated to their impressive whiskey section. Throw in free samples and friendly service and it's the best."
Jake Smith: "If they don't have it or something comparable, it doesn't exist. This is one of the most varied liquor stores I've ever been in. Pick up a bottle of J.T.S. Brown!"
Abbie W: "PureWow: bread pudding pancakes. These suckers are made of bread pudding (wrap your head around that) and topped with cinnamon-sugar butter. (Mama’s tip: The wee ones tend to love them, too.)"
JenKudu: "The chorizo and eggs is amazing! Brisket and Gravy (pic) is good comfort food but the biscuits are pretty tough. Split a grown up pop tart too start.. You won't be disappointed :)"
