Beckett's Public House - Chicago
This Irish-inspired pub prides itself on comfort foods like mac 'n cheese, shepard's pie and chicken pot pie. The menu takes standard pub grub up a notch with items such as bison burgers, cedar-plank salmon and whiskey wings. For drinks, expect the usual beers plus craft brews from the likes of Dogfish Head, Great Lakes and Three Floyds. Stay tuned for live bands and comedians, or grab a chair by the fireplace and a book from the shelves, ranging from Danielle Steele to the Holy Bible.
