The Best Lunches In Chicago

"A few things to know about 1308 in Goose Island: it's not open on the weekends, they close at 9pm, and it's exactly the kind of chill place you want to decompress when you have a day off during the week. This little bar and restaurant calls itself a “speak eatery,” which is kind of cute and spot on. It’s hidden in the courtyard of a small office building, only has about 30 seats, and serves outstanding cocktails and great Southern-inspired food. If that, an excellent neo-soul soundtrack, and a smooth Old Fashioned doesn’t help you forget about that 4pm Friday meeting request your boss just sent, we can’t help you." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
