Matilda

Almost as if three neighboring bar owners said "F-it, let's just combine our bars and make one hodgepodge of a brewpub." North room is dark, sexy, south room is industrial with Zinc-Chromate decorations and exposed brick, and the basement bar—Baby Atlas—is like a mini dance club lit by candles. Wine list is eclectic, martinis are a safe bet, but the food's nothing to feed a blind date. Luckily, this is a palatable bunch of Lakeview drinkers who aren't decked out in Cubs gear.
