"The food at Public House in River North isn’t anything you’re going to change your schedule around. But it’s solid (they have great nachos, mac and cheese, and basically anything else that checks the bar food boxes), and the space is loud, fun, and a good choice for upbeat day drinking. There’s also a separate food menu just for your dog, involving things like a burger patty and special dog-friendly dairy-free ice cream. Just don’t expect him to drive you home - you’ll probably need to find a dog-friendly Uber." - adrian kane
