Bars & Breakfast in Chicago

[san]

i've only lived here a couple of months, but hot chocolate serves a great casual brunch and great hot chocolate w/homemade marshmallows. sweets and savories was incredible the one time i went there for brunch as well (though i walked in 20 minutes after they opened last sunday and they couldn't take us, so I would reserve ahead of time).

as far as bars i was very impressed with the violet hour in wicker park- the first bar i've been to in a very long time where the fact that all of the bartenders took great pride in their drinks was very clearly evident.

It's been a couple of years since I've been there but the Bongo Room in Wicker Park was probably the best breakfast I've ever had. The pancakes were unbelievably good.

Is Butch Maguires's still around, for breakfast I mean? They had killer corned beef hash.

Last month I ate at their new location at Roosevelt and Wabash and I loved them. They had blueberry pancakes topped with almond panna cotta cream. Yum!

I also liked the fact that you could order one or two pancakes instead of a full order of three, making it easier to try more than one item on their menu.
