Common Good Cocktail House
Cocktail bar
👍👍 I don't have cocktails very often, so I can't pretend to be an expert, but this place was fun. I particularly enjoyed my Tracksuit Pirates drink which was very fun, served in a glass shaped like a fish. The tropical escape from the cold and snow outside was welcome indeed.

PIE LIFE Pizzeria
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 Lived in New Jersey for a decade and this place does NJ style better than most of the joints in NJ. Absolutely phenomenal slices. Tried the tomatoe pie and the sausage/pep slice. Both were perfect, nice leopard spotting on the bottom, nice crisp crunch to the crust while still folding well and maint...

Chocolaterie Stam Glen Ellyn
Chocolate shop
👍 Full disclosure, I used to live on an island where cacao was grown and I've been to farms to try the raw cacao bean and watched from bean to bar happen in my neighborhood.
That being said this is some decent chocolate for Illinois where the beans come probably partially fermented and maybe even rot...

ko-ze wine room
Wine bar
👍👍 The aesthetic was so nice! The wine tasted amazing and our male server was super sweet and nice. I will be back here, even to come alone or go with friends - the space here allows the comfortability for either. Their wine selection was also very good 👍🏼
