Nighthawk

"Nighthawk in Albany Park has a distinct atmosphere: dive bar meets commuter coffee shop since it’s right off the brown line. It’s open every day, from 11am-2am on Fridays and 5pm-late the rest of the week. They’ve got a fairly long list of cocktails and beer available all day, but there’s also wifi, booths, and lots of outlets. So while someone here might be on their third Old Style at 12pm, it’s equally acceptable to settle in with your Kindle and download the entire NYT bestseller list, battery conservation be damned." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor

"Nighthawk is open seven days a week, from 11am-2am Friday through Sunday and 5pm-2am Monday through Thursday, and serves everything from coffee to cocktails to cheap beer. That (along with their spacious booths) makes it an excellent place to bring food, whether you’re working on a freelance assignment at 11am or you’re six Hamm’s deep at 10pm. It’s also just around the corner from Great Sea, and when it comes to their delicious lollipop wings, the shorter the travel time, the better." - josh barnett

"Across from the Kimball brown line stop, this cozy storefront offers two of the best things—coffee and booze. Open from 6am-2am, start your day with a La Colombe nitro cold brew on tap and finish it with a craft cocktail like a Ramos Fizz or Pure Black Negroni." - Bark Design

"Coffee all day, beer and cocktails all night — that is the idea behind Nighthawk, an old-fashioned neighborhood tavern complete with exposed brick walls and pressed-tin ceiling. During the day, the friendly baristas offer refills to freelancers and telecommuters working on laptops. At night, locals coming off the Brown Line stop in for a beer or one of the imaginative mixed drinks before heading home." - aimee.levitt, Eater Staff
