Happy Village is a neighborhood bar with panache — its huge beer garden is open all year, with a selection that includes domestic drafts and a few imports. As a perk, any food you want can be delivered right to the bar. And when you’re not imbibing, indulge in a game of table tennis.

Big Star
Two words: Taco Tuesday. Big Star is Wicker Park’s place for unique tacos and big outdoor seating. It offers single barrels, taste-tested at Kentucky distilleries before they end up on the menu. Try a barrel, a whiskey or tequila-based cocktail. Big Star is next to the Blue Line, so there’s no excuse not to stop by.

Enoteca Roma
The back patio at Enoteca Roma is intimate, with greenery, party lights strung across the sky and a latticed wooden fence that cuts off the outside world. It’s a quiet enclave in a busy neighborhood, complete with rustic Roman cuisine and specialty wines. Choose from the wine list or order an imported Lambic or Italian cocktail.

Chop Shop
Chop Shop is half-restaurant, half-gourmet meat butcher. Dine in for specialty steaks and burgers or take out sandwiches from the deli counter. An attached space called 1st Ward hosts concerts and events almost every day (including a whole hog butchering class). There’s also a full bar, so you can enjoy happy hour specials on the rooftop patio.
