"Remedy is the platonic ideal of a neighborhood bar—it’s not flashy or divey, but it’s there for you until 4am every day. This Bucktown spot has a solid list of local beer, seasonal specials, and a fun selection of tasty house cocktails like the fruity El Diablo or lightly smoky Al Pastor. And despite ingredients like BBQ whiskey and elote liqueur, the drinks are balanced and don’t feel gimmicky. But the biggest draw here are the friendly and efficient bartenders, who take as much care in making your drink whether it’s a busy weekday Happy Hour (when everything, yes everything, is half off) or a quiet Sunday night. There’s no food available, but you can bring your own." - Veda Kilaru
