Sustainable eats, craft brews, live music, and rooftop farm
"Home of the 1st Certified Organic Roof Top Farm in the US, Uncommon Ground is anything but common. Their menu changes by location and season, with many items coming from their own production. For Uncommon Ground, sustainability is the key. Even down to the cooking oil used to cook their food, which is donated used by local students to create biodiesel fuel. And one last thing, they brew their own organic beer." - Sidekick Video
"Now with a house brewery, Uncommon Ground serves tasty sustainably-raised food just northwest of Wrigley. It also has live music and an outstanding brunch. The cafe atmosphere is ideal for folks who don’t want to avoid typical sports bar fare and actually feel about what they eat." - Ashok Selvam
"Uncommon Ground may be on Clark just north of Wrigley Field, but it doesn’t cater to the drunk and rowdy baseball fan crowd. Not that you can’t get food and drinks here before or after a game—but that’s not the sole purpose of this place’s existence. Uncommon Ground has been a pioneer in the sustainable, farm-to-table, grow-stuff-on-your-own-rooftop movement since 1991, so pop in for a casual meal any day of the week, baseball or no baseball." - sam faye, adrian kane
"This farm-to-table pioneer is still forging ahead in Lakeview following the closure of its Edgewater outpost. There are plenty of hot cocktails on the menu, including the aptly named Cold and Flu Buster (chamomile tea with a shot of ginger vodka and honey liqueur), rum-spiked hot apple cider, orange liqueur-spiked hot cocoa, and Irish coffee with Jameson and whipped cream." - Naomi Waxman
"Uncommon Ground´s take on the dish is more of an interpretation and closer to a casserole and may not be for the purist chilaquiles superfan. The plate is abundant and a bit drier than its counterparts, with tortillas, cut into strips and mixed in with the eggs. Green salsa, melty Chihuahua cheese, chorizo, and sour cream add textures and density to the meal. There is also a vegan version with seitan chorizo and tofu. Chilaquiles are on the brunch menu, which is available Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Brenda Storch
