I have gotten bourbon here, they do not have Dickle if you're looking, but they have a nice selection. For beer they have a lot of local options on draft.

Made us feel uncomfortable, so we left. Fast forward to a couple nights ago . We were in the area and gave it another chance. Couldn't help to notice that all hip hop, rap, Latin music are completely blocked off. Politely asked the bartender what was up with that? He seemed very uncomfortable with my question and gave us a very sarcastic response. "Well, I guess that's a racist juke box." We immediately felt the bad energy. We proceed to finish our beers and play a jazz song by a black female singer. Immediately the bartender and some older biker looking dudes next to us start talking smack about the song. They asked if we put the song on? We said yes, and tell us to read the room. So I respond in a very sarcastic tone. "oh, you want us to read the room, would you like us to play some Toby Keith or Kid rock for you?" They smirked and had no response. I strongly believe the place is owned and operated by white supremacist maga brothren's. I would strongly encourage people In the neighborhood to stop supporting this business.

Milwaukee Avenue is such a treasure trove of places to eat, drink and shop. My love and I were…read moreabout to head somewhere else along Milwaukee Avenue when we literally happened to spot Navigator Taproom and decided to try it out. Navigator Taproom is a place where you pour your own beer and are charged by the ounce, so be careful! There are over 50 taps to choose from, so there's quite a variety of beers, ciders, and even wines that will appeal to just about all tastes. Between the two of us, I think we tried out seven different beers and ciders, and I'd say we enjoyed every ounce that we poured. Paper Plane Pizza is part of the establishment, though we did not eat anything. Definitely give Navigator Taproom if you're in the area.

Besides beer, seltzer, and kombucha, there are several wines and cocktails. Local, international, craft and classic brews all labeled by style.

Hostess was super helpful. There are a few outside tables as well. Good music. And games. Something for anyone and everyone. Will return.

We went on a busy saturday night and the djs were spinning vinyl while the bartenders were shaking daiquiris. It is a small spot that stays full. Their menu is rotating and their cocoa rob roy was a killer. Slight cocoa balances out this boozy sipper. I started with a daiquiri... and ole' boy behind the bar killed it. Absolutely passed the acidity test (iykyk). Also, hooked me up with a few lilet highballs. This place just felt like home to me. It truly was one of the best bar experiences I have ever had. I have always heard great things and am grateful I finally got to come. This is going to be my new chicago staple. This place is beautiful. Keep doing wonderful things sportsman club, and save a seat for me next time im in town!

The Goose Island BCS Chocolate Praline Stout is dangerously good, so good it's bad. More like a good old bordeaux than a beer. Like a forty year old tawny port. The Shrimp ceviche was delightful. Shrimp tacos were very good, a little sweet and a little spicy with just the right balance of both. The skillet cookie was warm,  topped with chocolate & caramel sauce and ice cream.

We recently stopped into Fatpour Tap Works…read more I had the Sonoma Farmhouse Stout from Lagunitas, which was excellent, and I strongly recommended it. The Baked Nachos appetizer was huge. It can easily feed 4 people. My husband warned me that it looked like it was going to be big. But I told him the picture probably makes it look bigger than it is. But no, it's really big. We added ground beef to it,  and it was delicious. No, we were not able to finish, and gladly took the leftovers home. The BBQ Carnitas sandwich was very tasty even before we added the barbecue sauce. The Raspberry Donut Cheesecake was a delicious mixture of strawberry compote and rumchata anglaise. So if you're looking for a vast variety of beers, and a place to grab something to eat, we recommend fat poor tap works in Wicker Park.

They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar. Great food. Great beer. Go check them out!
