Lincoln Ave.

—Links Taproom in Wicker Park did good work raising money for the LGBT communities in both Chicago and Orlando at its event on Sunday during Gay Pride Day. The beer bar and sausage eatery donated 100 percent of the days sales ($8000), which was matched my owner Mike Quinlan, with a total of $16,000 going to the Chicago House and Social Service Agency and the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida.

—Do Chicagoans want that beer museum with a brewery and rooftop?
