Mock Crest Tavern
3435 N Lombard StSweet little dive bar not far from the house
My personal preferred spot to meet up with my friends that live in the hood, or just stop by to have a beer after work. They have a limited menu with panini's and soup, but it's hearty and good. Just a nice chill neighborhood spot with expansive windows, a killer jukebox, and a few tv's. Nice patio out back, partially covered, with a bocce ball court and a concrete ping-pong table.

Do you know what a growler is? It's a big jug to put beer in and take home, so no bottles, or bottle deposit, to deal with. I've got a number of growlers at home to choose from, just snag the size you want and make a run! Rotating taps for every taste.
