Chicagoans are reaching for their fall gear. Perhaps there’s a few more weeks of patio season left — the city never really knows. So wave goodbye to the hard seltzers and settle into proper cocktails for the September edition of the Eater Cocktail Heatmap.
This listing features mostly new taverns or restaurants with notable cocktail or beer offerings. Think of it as a sibling to Eater’s bedrock, its monthly restaurant Heatmap.
There are four adds to the September edition from a low-key Loop hang out, to a Wicker Park bar that hopefully brings a little soul back to the bro-infested district. Enjoy.
