VP in IB-M&A

Pretty much anything in Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville.

+1

Wrigleyville is fun your first few times for sure, but then would switch it up

Excluding game days of course

 

Wells st has a bunch of good bars in old town (fireplace, the vig, LG, pour house, etc)

 

Celeste has a nice bar/club feel, Boss Bar is a casual favorite, blind barber is a fun but packed speakeasy, lazy bird has a great cocktail menu but is often packed too, federales is good for groups, sluggers has a batting cage (careful lol)
