Beermiscuous

"If one more day of listening to a noisy espresso machine while trying to lose yourself in the moors of Jane Eyre is going to make you throw your soy latte across the room, you might need a break from coffee shops. Go to Beermiscuous in Lakeview. It’s a bar that’s designed to feel just like a cafe—cute fireplace included—but with craft beers instead of half-caf macchiatos." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor

"Beermiscuous is a beer drinker’s paradise dressed up as a European cafe. There are coolers filled with just about every style of beer, and the bartenders are always happy to give advice - if you’re not sure what to pair with your pizza, they’ll probably have a few thoughts. It’s unclear if they accept slices of pizza as tips, but if we were them we’d definitely go for it." - josh barnett

"With the slogan "drink around," Beermiscuous encourages beer exploration. And this tasting room & bottle shop is arguably the best place to do so in the city. With over 350 bottles/cans and 12 draft lines, you can be choosy. The cozy craft beer cafe is also credited as having the widest range of Chicagoland breweries available in one place – 30+, and over 130 of their beers. Whether you are looking to build your own 6-pack, or in search of an afternoon coffee shop alternative, this quiet corner spot has got ya covered." - Studio Malt

"The cute fireplace at Beermiscuous reminds us of the kind you find in a nice apartment. The type you’d play Settlers Of Catan in front of (if people would ever commit to your “game night”). This bar has plenty of board games available, and the cafe-like feel makes it great for reading a book by yourself next to the fire. Which is useful, since you can’t get that book club off the ground, either." - adrian kane, john ringor

"Beermiscuous, located at 2812 N. Lincoln Avenue, will host the Hospitality Worker Town Hall event co-hosted by CHAAD and Justice Cream with Studio ATAO." - Naomi Waxman
