"Wicker Park cocktail tavern Queen Mary doesn’t take reservations, which can be a perk when the impulse to go out strikes at the last minute. Nibble smoked whitefish dip, a cheese & charcuterie platter and some seafood conservas while catching up with a rotating rum punch or martini. Those just seeking to keep the night going after dinner can linger with sherry on tap or a glass of madeira." - Samantha Nelson
