"When: Thurs-Sat 8pm-10pm The Deal: $5 Cocktails, Wine, and Beer In an economy where $5 can’t even get you a bottle of water at a sports stadium, RJ Grunts shows that a piece of paper with Abraham Lincoln’s face is still worth something. At this long-standing American restaurant in Lincoln Park, you can get classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds or martinis, a glass of wine, or a draft of beer, all for $5. The food might not blow you away, but a solid burger and a massive salad bar with over 50 ingredients (no, we’re not joking), all taste better when you’re saving some money." - john ringor
