Question

Hi...have to entertain this weekend and looking for a great Chicago BYOB....preferably on the northside...thanks to all!!

Answer 1

If its guys you are entertaining, take them all to
Diamonds east of St. Charles. It is BYOB and
they have the mixers to go with any Booze you would
bring in. And talk about the view WOW. It is a Gentlemans
Club but guys take their wives and g/f and it is great for
bachelor night out. They close at 4 am. Valet Parking

Answer 2

Chicago Best Byob

Answer 3

Such is the case for Chinoiserie, an Asian fusion restaurant in Wilmette, which expanded three years ago to 90 seats. "We never got around to it," says owner Janice Lee about applying for a liquor license. "When we enlarged, we thought that we would at least add wine and beer. But no matter how much space you have it's never enough."

A trend toward frugality has made diners tighten their purse strings. Rather than cutting back on the frequency of eating out, diners can simply cut back on the bill. A good way to do that is to bring your own (most BYOB places do not charge corkage fees, or charge a small amount).

Jody Andre has just started her third BYOB restaurant, Speakeasy Supper Club, which includes a 1930s bar (without alcohol) and a menu ranging from tapas-style dishes to ostrich Wellington. The economy made staying with the BYOB model an easy choice. Because two restaurants she opened before have been successful as BYOBs, (Tomboy, which she sold recently, and The Room), Andre feels that "the formula works. I couldn't imagine anything else."

Answer 4

There are a couple of awesome Thai restaurants in Lincoln Square (Lincoln/Western/Lawrence) that are BYOB. Or if you just want awesome food at a place that serves spirits, you can't do wrong with the Greek restaurant at the corner of Lincoln and Lawrence at the north end of the square (kiddy corner from the Chicago Brau House...another great entertaining spot).

Answer 5

Tengo Sur. They serve Argentine food. VERY good and light almost entirely by candles. They have outdoor seating as well. They are located on Southport right down the street from the Music Box theater. You won't be sorry!!!! Reasonable prices.

Answer 6

Far northside is Taste of Peru. One of a kind.

Answer 7

that does mean bring your own beer right? But if you are looking for a neat bar, I suggest the Tin Lizzie, my cousin owns it and it is a great time!!

Answer 8
