Nighthawk

Cocktail bar · Albany Park

"Nighthawk in Albany Park has a distinct atmosphere: dive bar meets commuter coffee shop since it’s right off the brown line. It’s open every day, from 11am-2am on Fridays and 5pm-late the rest of the week. They’ve got a fairly long list of cocktails and beer available all day, but there’s also wifi, booths, and lots of outlets. So while someone here might be on their third Old Style at 12pm, it’s equally acceptable to settle in with your Kindle and download the entire NYT bestseller list, battery conservation be damned." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
