Restaurants

Deep dish pizza – this beloved hearty food is a Chicago classic. Head to Uno Pizzeria and sister establishment Pizzeria Due, rumoured as the birthplace of the deep dish pizza, it doesn’t get much better!

Fancy street food? – Chicago style hot dogs are a must, they’re scattered throughout Chicago’s neighbourhoods, but we recommend Dave’s Red Hot, a part of Chicago history that opened in 1938.

The Italian beef sandwich – One of Chicago’s most famous creations, we couldn’t pick a favourite (ask a local and they’ll all say something different), but Al’s Beef in Little Italy is great place to start!

Chicago also offers an amazing selection of 22 Michelin-starred restaurants, check out Choose Chicago’s selection here.

Bars

The city is bustling with drinking spots, it would be rude not to enjoy an Old Fashioned!

Osito’s Tap – located in Little Village for more than 40 years, this bar will transport you back in time. This speakeasy-inspired joint offers some of the cities best cocktails.

The Beer Temple – if you’re more of a craft-beer lover, this is the place for you!

The Green Mill – steeped in history, the Green Mill is a great place to enjoy an old-school cocktail and some free jazz.

Cove Lounge – a classic Chicago dive bar, grab a beer and play some darts!
