"Outside of 24 hour diners, few places in the city have full menus available past midnight. Enter Estelle’s. This dark, divey bar and restaurant has been a Wicker Park staple since 1999, and is open until 4am every day except Saturday—when it’s open until 5am. The menu has things like burgers, sandwiches, and salads. But their long list of fried appetizers like pizza puffs, fried cheese curds, and mac and cheese bites all taste particularly good after a night of drinking. You can get any of them topped “hot mess style” (aka with cajun seasoning and garlic parm) and is probably an appropriate term if you’re here at 3am." - John Ringor

Rendang Republic

Restaurant · Lakeview

"At Rendang Republic, we're bringing the boldest, most authentic Padang, Indonesian flavors straight to Chicago—and trust us, this is the kind of food that’ll make you fall in love. Padang food? It’s basically the darling of Indonesian cuisine, hailing from West Sumatra and packed with rich, deep flavors with protein braised for 8 hours in spices, aromatics, and coconut milk. It’s the kind of food that takes your taste buds on a ride, layering spice, depth, and history with every bite. But we didn’t just want to bring it here—we wanted to elevate it, keeping all that fire while making it something you can crave every day."
