Pilsen Yards

THE ALDERMAN is a small, 16-seat cocktail bar hidden behind closed doors in Pilsen Yards. The beverage program comes from Chicago's most award-winning mixologist, Lance Bowman, who rotates half of the cocktail list every couple of months while perfecting the art of tradition with his twists on American classics, staples of The Alderman's cocktail list. It's the ideal room for a nightcap, a date, or a casual evening of one to several astonishingly good cocktails, with a plush velvet banquette and a 4-seat counter.

Pilsen Yards replaces Monnie Burke's with a casual, music-fueled concept that specializes in tacos and other Mexican eats, as well as a long list of cocktails and beer. Guests can plan their visit around a packed calendar of live DJs and art shows that will grace the space throughout the year. The covered outdoor patio is also noteworthy, with heated cement floors and overhead heaters for maximum coziness. If you want something more intimate, try to get a reservation at The Alderman, the in-house speakeasy cocktail lounge.
