Cicero's

Food? Entertainment? Drinks galore? This sprawling Loop landmark has you covered. Peruse the super-extensive beer list (and prepare to be wowed -- Cicero’s has hard-to-find gems like Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and McEwan’s IPA on tap), listen to live music (usually of the rock/indie variety) and stuff your face with way-better-than-average bar food. Pizzas here are thin-crust but not crackery, and the varieties -- like chicken Alfredo, “green” (broccoli, spinach, green pepper and pesto) and Buffalo shrimp -- are far from ho-hum. The salmon burger and the deep-fried artichoke hearts are unexpected treats, too.
