35 Postcards
At this Lincoln Park staple, you can chow down on top-notch char dogs while navigating a hilariously rowdy late-night atmosphere fueled by the staff's signature sass.
"This iconic Lincoln Park spot that’s famous for its take-no-shit staff and wild late-night atmosphere now has a spacious dog-friendly back patio, and it’s wonderful. The partially covered backyard has tons of tables, a full bar, a mini basketball court, a ping pong table, TVs, and heaters. Just know that you can’t order food from the bar, so hit up the regular ol’ Wiener Circle line for a char dog and some good-natured verbal abuse—then head towards that great new patio." - adrian kane
"What To Get: Char dog, cheddar fries. What To Know: Besides the infamous late-night antics (a.k.a. good-natured verbal abuse), The Wiener's Circle in Lincoln Park has good food and a giant dog-friendly back patio where they serve booze. It's open until 2am during the week and until 4am on the weekends." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"Open until 1am Sunday-Tuesday, 2am Wednesday-Thursday, 4am Friday-Saturday The Wiener's Circle tastes great when you're sober, but like most things in life, it's infinitely better when you're not. Is there a more iconic late-night spot? The answer is no. Order a char dog and cheese fries. If it's a particularly rowdy night, you'll probably be encouraged to yell expletives at the staff. Either way, definitely give them a high five and a tip on your way out." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"You didn’t think we’d leave this off, did you? Weiner Circle is the place to be, whether you’re looking for a late-night snack at 10pm or stopping by in the middle of the afternoon. The hot dogs are actually good, so yes, sober trips are allowed." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"This infamous late-night hot dog stand is known for their Chicago-style char dog's, and more importantly, foul and aggressive verbal abuse between the employees and customers. On weekends, they stay open and packed until 5 am, making this a go to spot for late night inebriated face stuffing and shit talking. Wiener's Circle has a knack for remaining witty and relevant, whether it be dressing up as McDowell's for Halloween, or the timely addition of the 3 inch Trump Footlong to their menu. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, order the chocolate shake." - Stephen Merlo
