This is a must do. My friends and I did the Bordeaux Menu on 1/8/2020 with Ryan and a number of other people. It was a fantastic experience and exceeded our expectations. Ryan was able to manage all of us and get us all involved in the preparation of our meal. We learned a lot of tips, had fun preparing the meal, got to wear chef's hats and aprons, and we all gathered around a table for a wonderful meal. What a concept to get so many people together and then to have us all work together to prepare a larger meal, from appetizers through dessert. Ryan did a great job with us. Will be back.

St. Mary of the Angels is an historic church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. Located at 1850 North Hermitage Avenue in the city's Bucktown neighborhood, it is an example of the Polish Cathedral style of churches and is visible from the Kennedy Expressway. Completed in 1920, with a capacity of 2,000 and a dome that is 125 feet in height, it was modeled on St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and has been acclaimed as one of the finest specimens of Roman Renaissance architecture in the United States. The imposing brick and terra cotta edifice with its twin bell towers and magnificent dome was constructed at a cost of $400,000. The W.W. Kimball pipe organ was installed in 1923. In 1973, the extensive repairs were made on the exterior of the dome and the blue "Guiding Light" was added. It is visible in the cupola for a considerable distance. The church was closed and scheduled for demolition in 1988 due to unsafe conditions. But members of the parish, local citizens and historians rallied to save the historic structure. By 1999, the 100th anniversary of the parish, the church's interior decorations had been fully restored. Today, open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, Sunday Masses are celebrated in English, Polish and Spanish. In recent years, the ethnic character of St. Mary of the Angels has undergone a gradual change from an exclusively Polish parish to one that is multicultural and multiracial.

Hundreds of travel books and guides line the shelves of this globe-trotter's tavern. Peruse that tome on Fuji or Antarctica while sipping a pint of one of the 20-odd draft beers available.

Very nice neighborhood bar. Excellent craft beers and hard to find imported Belgian beers on tap. No food but packaged snacks are offered. Pleasant place for a cozy night out.
8. The Hideout Inn
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
The Hideout is music, art, performance, plays, poetry, rock and rebellion. The Hideout is not your Dad’s bar, but your Granddad’s bar. It is the bar that Granddad went to when he was young and crazy. He did his best to hide that past from your Dad, but you have found it. The old restless roots of hard-working, hard-playing creative artistic expression and intellectual freedom. More New Deal and less New Age. The Hideout is small, and small is beautiful. It’s not for everyone, but for every one! The Hideout is a regular guy bar for irregular folks who just don’t fit in, or just don’t want to fit in. We didn’t choose the name; it has been called the Hideout since it opened (legally) in 1934.
