"From the street, Nettare looks like a boutique liquor store with a line-up your Obscure Wine Of The Month Club would envy. But the shop is just one part of this great all-day cafe, bar, and seasonal American restaurant. In the casual dining room decked out like Design Within Reach: Jungle Edition, you’ll find dates trying the $68 tasting menu, groups of friends drinking seasonal cocktails with ingredients like pear brandy and grappa, and solo diners downing dishes like crispy-skinned walleye or beef belly swimming in a green garlic broth. Next time you’re in West Town with a group of plan-commitment-phobes, Nettare is a good slashie solution to any dining or drinking indecisiveness." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"Beloved neighborhood restaurant highlighting Midwest and Great Lakes ingredients in a four-course dinner paired with small-batch, slow-aged bourbons and ryes from a family-owned distillery, with optional beverage pairings." - Lisa Shames
"Chill West Town cafe, restaurant, and bottle shop Nettare makes a mean breakfast sandwich with a gooey fried egg that will drip all over the aged cheddar, bacon, or housemade breakfast sausage, and housemade English muffin, so soak up some of that yolk with the fried potatoes. Be sure to split a flaky maitake mushroom tart while sipping something from their extensive tea selection or Metric Coffee espresso. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
"This West Town newcomer has a small and mighty baked goods program. The scones, sweet onion tart, and biscuit are delightful on their own. They’ll also make that into a sandwich, part of a prix fixe weekday brunch menu on select days. Service starts at 10 for brunch on Wednesday through Sunday. But that counts as a late breakfast, too." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"When: Wed-Sat 4-6pm The Deal: $8-$12 Cocktails, $5 Off Draft Beer, $15 Half Bottles Of Wine, $2 Off Snacks From the street, Nettare looks like a boutique liquor store with a line-up your Obscure Wine Of The Month Club would envy. But the shop is just one part of this great all-day cafe, bar, and seasonal American restaurant. Head to the back for Happy Hour, where you can drink discounted half bottles of pet nat rose and snack on latkes or radish butter smeared on grilled focaccia. Next time you’re in West Town with a group that’s all tapped out from making hard decisions at work, Nettare is a good slashie solution to any drinking indecisiveness." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
