Last night, Morgan and I met up at Wicker Park for happy hour and were so hungry that the above wreckage happened before I even thought to take a photo. We had loaded potato skins (delicious, but I needed more than two), artichoke dip (too cheesy, if such a thing is possible), meh chicken fingers (Kendrick dropped in on us later and ate most of them), and beer.

So the food wasn’t incredible, but it’s bar food – I’m not looking to have my mind blown – and the Happy Hour deals at Wicker Park make it all worthwhile.

WICKER PARK HAPPY HOUR (M-F from 3-7):

– 1/2 price bar menu

– $3 domestic drafts

– $4 wines

I also love the Happy Hangover (for $15, you get an egg sandwich and 2 pint-sized Bloodys or mimosas)…and the ladies-only $15 bottomless glass of wine Weds-Sat from 8-10. 

I still have a soft spot in my heart for Jack Russels because it saved me in a moment of crisis, but Wicker Park is slowly becoming my favorite neighborhood hang.
