The starting point. Directly off the Damen Blue Line CTA stop. I always recommend eating before bar hopping. The food here is delicious, they have multiple food & beverage outlets along with a rooftop pool bar.

Gracie O' Malley's- Wicker Park
@Quiera
A few steps away headed up Milwaukee is Gracie O'Malley's Irish Pub, if you're into sports, great place to catch a glimpse of the game. They also have a small arcade game section. Drinks are inexpensive.

Stop optional if you are't hungry they do have a few beers, and milkshakes. But the burgers are good, and inexpensive.

Noisette
@Quiera
Technically not on Milwaukee Ave, but its the wine bar inside of the wine shop 'Red & White Wines' Grab you a white wine, maybe some bubs' and enjoy their patio and the sun. Maybe grab some oysters and tinned fish.

Play games, get your drink on, get your second wind with an espresso shot. They also have trivia nights.

Easy Does It
@Quiera
I've been told by multiple people to come here. Very chic, hip, they have a single serving pet nat that comes in a bottle that looks like a high life can. You get the vibes. Not too much in terms of food. Also a no & low cocktail list.

One of my favorite bars when its warm out. Open garage style windows, a DJ, discoball in the bathroom, frozen drinks. Good times.

BiXi Beer
@Quiera
Fantastic Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean inspired food. They also brew their own beer, so stopping in for drinks only works too. The vibe downstairs is more swanky, upstairs though it is more casual.

Andros Taverna
@Quiera
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Brunch fire, dinner fire. Highly recommend. In case you didn't eat at the other stops along the way. You won't be disappointed.

@Quiera
If you're still standing. aka, you paced yourself this is the last stop right after the park. Yes, another wine bar! Then you can get on the train, or call an uber.

If you've seen his documentary or if you're a fan you know that Mr. Jones is from the Southside of Chicago. There are other murals on this block as well.
