Subterranean wing, beer and sports haven in Lincoln Park. Carly Boers on
09-09-2009
Tucked inconspicuously sub-sidewalk level in the basement of a Lincoln Park mansion, this dimly lit, cavernous sports bar appeals to nearly everyone with its ample beer selection, classy interior and lack of pretension. The wildly popular chicken wings don’t hurt either. Thanks to 22-inch TVs at every table, this is the ideal place to hole up with the crew, watch the game and nosh the day away. Wings are available every which way: the familiar mild, medium and hot, plus the uber-hot "Oh My Gosh!" or the signature Tang-Z-Q sauce. Non-wing lovers can try out the chicken on salads, sandwiches or thin crust "peezas."

A straightforward sports bar with a devout neighborhood following. Contributor on
10-03-2004
The Scene
Located in the basement of a Lakeview graystone, this no-nonsense neighborhood bar keeps regulars happy and gives late-night revelers a place to keep the party going. The decor (or pleasant lack thereof) --lacquered wooden tables, worn bar stools, brick walls and a couple framed Chicago posters--is as basic as the beer selection: a few tap beers, the fanciest one Blue Moon, and no Bud products in the house.
The Draw
This Yak-zies location (there's another one in Wrigleyville) has been open since 1966--and to the happiness of the regulars, not much has changed. They keep coming back for the wings, pizza and the items with the signature "tang" sauce. Even the servers stick around--the newest server has been there for more than two years. Don't miss the free help-yourself popcorn.
