Cafe Tola is a unique and wonderful empanadada shop. Their menu changes daily, so they always have fresh and fun flavors. They also have a really nice sized menu of drinks including teas, coffee, espresso drinks, etc. The space is standing room only, so I would recommend this if you are on the go or want to enjoy your meal outside. Don't forget to check out the awesome, ever-changing murals on the side of the building!

Drinks & Nightlife

Murphy's is the epitome of a Chicago Cubs bar, in my opinion. Their menu is always fresh with new local brews being introduced on tap monthly and food specials being introduced daily. I would personally recommend their burgers, brats and tots. Don't forget to miss karaoke on Friday nights!
