"Augie’s Booze and Shmooze in Lincoln Park closed its doors (and backyard volleyball court) in 2021, but has reopened with some big changes. They’ve shortened the name to just Augie’s, given the previously divey interior a modern facelift, and replaced the volleyball court with patio seating. Boozing and shmoozing is still possible with a full bar, along with food like pizza, crispy chicken sandwiches, and bacon date burgers. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - John Ringor
