"Half restaurant / half vintage corner store deli. Chop Shop is Wicker Park's hidden gem offering up a full-service bar with artisan wines, craft beers, and local spirits." - Anna Zajac
"If you’re looking for a butcher who also knows how to throw a party, Wicker Park’s Chop Shop is for you. They’re a butcher shop during the day, serving up chicken, beef, and pork (not many uncommon meat or game options here) and at night they transform into a restaurant and concert venue, where you might catch a rave or find your favorite artist. And at the restaurant, you can enjoy charcuterie, chicken parmesan, or hand-made pastas. As for the butcher shop, their fresh chicken wings, dry-aged steaks, and sausages are popular here. They also deliver via Caviar." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
"Chop Shop is a bar, restaurant, butcher shop, and live event space year-round. That’s a handful, but during the summer there’s only one part of Chop Shop you need to worry about: their rooftop. It’s a more secluded and laid-back outdoor space than its partytime neighbor, Big Star, so it’s ideal for a midweek casual hang." - sam faye
"The Chop Shop wears many hats in Wicker Park. It’s a butcher shop and restaurant, plus a music venue and private events space. There’s also a cute little rooftop where folks can escape to during these crowded events." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
