WRIGLEYVILLE. What could beat roof-top seating looking out onto Wrigley Field? This sports bar offers just that, as well as a bevy of monitors to keep you posted on competitions across the globe. Sports memorabilia lines the walls, reminding folks that Murphy's is a shrine to all things athletic. Daily drink specials make for a great value, and the signature pink vodka lemonade is so good that you'll probably order more than one. Sidewalk seating is available.

STREETERVILLE. Timothy O' Toole's is a bustling sort of place that features a number of entertainment options – TV's, pool tables, dartboards, interactive trivia games, video games, and of course, the drink menu that includes microbrews as well as domestic and imported beer both on tap and by the bottle. Keep in mind, this place stays rather busy. In fact, they've poured more than 4 million pints of beer and served more than 150 tons of wings since opening in 1992.

SOUTH LOOP. Attempts to appear seedy only partially veil this club's polished interior, and yuppies and tourists often show up. The mellow blues joint offers jam sessions on Monday nights, and local acts perform Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday, then, showcase national artists. A plethora of memorabilia fills the cavernous room, and pool tables and a Southern kitchen that's open till midnight keep patrons satisfied. Despite its touristy reputation, the club is a great place to see live blues in comfort.

WEED DISTRICT. This enormous warehouse holds 800 people (legally) and is packed almost every night. Local DJs share space with those brought in from New York, Los Angeles, and London. The dance floor and its raised platforms are highlighted by incredible sound and light systems. Specialty stations throughout the space supplement the four bars. The VIP area is swanky, candlelit, and overlooks the mass of swaying dancers below.

RIVER NORTH. National 27, whose name refers to the 27 recognized Latin American countries, offers a unique menu featuring a wide range of thrilling Latin American favorites. Indeed, from chimichurri sauce to garlic-roasted chicken Cubano, the skilled kitchen staff goes the extra mile to make sure even novices find something suited to their fancy. After hours, this hip restaurant turns into a nightclub that emanates the spicy grooves of salsa, merengue, and quebradita, making it one of the hippest destinations in town.

RIVER WEST. Local artist Suhail's giant steel Buddha marks the entrance to this cool spot.

Cosmopolitans are the house specialty. Buddha also has some of the best DJs in town. Check out Jesse de la Pena on Wednesday and Saturday and percussionists Ya Ya and Yamcouba on Fridays.
