Cool local brewery with really neat decor and a nice seating area outside.
Every year for Valentine’s Day, we try to go to a speakeasy bar. This year we chose the one in Evanston. The best part about this place is that the door to the secret bar is indeed a secret door in the form of a bookshelf 🚪 that opens up into this dim lit 1920s style bar. 
Shhhh it’s a secret, it’s Valentine’s Day ;)
