Inside Wicker Park’s Neon Wilderness, the new tavern from Bar DeVille’s owners - Eater Chicago
"Neon Wilderness opens at 1270 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. The bar is named after Nelson Algren’s 1947 anthology and aims to find a balance between old-school shot and beer bars and upscale cocktail lounges. It features a large selection of American whisky, eight house cocktails that change seasonally, and seven types of champagne. The bar's interior includes a photo booth, reclaimed wood ceilings, and Wu-Tang Clan-inspired bathroom signs. Despite its name, it is not meant to reflect the shadowy dives described in Algren's writings." - Ashok Selvam
