The Bristol

New American restaurant · Bucktown

@eater

"Bucktown staple The Bristol offers an exceptional eight-course seasonal tasting menu that offers spins on nostalgic dishes made with produce from local farms. Start the meal with a creative cocktail like “Farmer McGregor’s Garden,” which blends the smokiness of mezcal with the sweetness of carrot and pineapple juices, or something from the restaurant’s expansive bourbon list before indulging in wine pairings. For a more affordable experience, take advantage of the early bird special tasting menu offered from 5 p.m to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Book a reservation via Resy." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
