"With a full menu available until 4am every day except Saturday (when it’s until 5am), Estelle’s is an incredible utility player. This divey bar has been serving Wicker Park’s creatures of the night tasty bar food since 1999. And while the usual suspects of burgers and sandwiches are good, the long list of fried appetizers like pizza puffs, cheese curds, and mac and cheese bites are particularly satisfying after some drinks. Make sure to get them topped with cajun seasoning and garlic parm—aka “hot mess style”, which is probably an appropriate term if you end up here at 3am." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
