"This iconic Lincoln Park spot that’s famous for its take-no-shit staff and wild late-night atmosphere also has a spacious dog-friendly back patio, and it’s wonderful. The partially covered backyard has tons of tables, a full bar, a mini basketball court, a ping pong table, TVs, and heaters. Just know that you can’t order food from the bar, so hit up the regular ol’ Wiener Circle line for a char dog and some good-natured verbal abuse—then head towards that great patio." - adrian kane

On the Grid : Wiener's Circle
"This infamous late-night hot dog stand is known for their Chicago-style char dog's, and more importantly, foul and aggressive verbal abuse between the employees and customers. On weekends, they stay open and packed until 5 am, making this a go to spot for late night inebriated face stuffing and shit talking. Wiener's Circle has a knack for remaining witty and relevant, whether it be dressing up as McDowell's for Halloween, or the timely addition of the 3 inch Trump Footlong to their menu. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, order the chocolate shake." - Stephen Merlo

"This Lincoln Park spot is famous for its take-no-shit staff and wild late-night atmosphere now, but its personality-filled back patio is equally iconic. The partially-covered backyard has tons of tables, a full bar, a mini basketball court, ping pong table, TVs, and heaters. Just know that you can’t order food from the bar, so hit up the regular ol’ Wiener Circle line for a char dog and some good-natured verbal abuse—then head towards that great patio." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
