These are the places we made it to.
The Publican
Horrible service, we were made to stand in an empty restaurant because we didn't have a reservation at 5:00. Had some good raw oysters and a couple of beers.
Girl & The Goat
Great food, beer, cocktails, and service. Walking distance to Next, Aviary, and Publican.
Aviary
Unique and expensive experience. I would recommend going for one drink, skipping the food, and savor the show.
Goose Island Beer Company
Great beer, good food, ok atmosphere.
Xoco
Very good and cheap breakfast in a Rick Bayless restaurant. Don't miss the Mexican hot chocolate.
Purple Pig
Cool place, good service, and good food. We stopped in for a few apps and were impressed.
Mercat a la Planxa
Jose Garces' place in downtown did not disappoint; think Mojito kicked up one notch.
