Drinks & Nightlife

Sample Revolution Brewing's best at their tap room on N Kedzie and Roscoe. Don't let the barren street front deter you, walk up the stairs to the back of the hallway and into the tap room. No food here, but enjoy everything Revolution brews while it's in stock with complimentary popcorn. Cheap beer and souvenirs!

Only a couple blocks from the apartment, this is a great place if you need to pick up extra toiletries. There is a CVS that is just as close, but this place is much nicer.
