Fodor's Expert Review Happy Village
Lincoln Park and Wicker Park, with Bucktown and Logan Square
Located in Ukrainian Village, this neighborhood institution is known for its cheap beer, Ping Pong tables, and, when the weather cooperates, its massive beer garden. There’s no kitchen, but Chicago’s own “tamale guy,” who sells authentic Mexican tamales out of a cooler, swings by nightly. Be sure to hit an ATM before you arrive because Happy Village is cash-only.
