Some say they're the best burgers in the city. Everything comes on a pretzel bun. All burgers are named after heavy metal bands (get the Mastadon). Not a place for kids.

If you want some fresh hoppy beer, go here. The tap room is huge with a photo booth and shuffleboard table to boot. Do the tour and get a free beer. Food can be delivered here, but they also typically have a food truck outside. Check to make sure there's not a wedding or event before you leave.

Sightseeing

If you haven't been here, you must go. Hopefully it's a nice day so you can walk around and see the bean, the bandshell, and explore Maggie Daley park. Fantastic views of the skyline and the art museum is nearby.

Nothing is much better than seeing the city from a boat and learning about all the architecture. We live here and we still do this about twice a year.

Arts & Culture

The planetarium itself is pretty cool, but listen, just go out there. It's the most breathtaking view of the skyline that you'll find. Wait for all the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get out of the way and then take your iconic "I'm in Chicago" profile pic.
