Editorial Review of English

The team behind Eat Well Drink Better has yet to let us down on their moniker's pledge, as bar-hoppers can head to Bar Celona, Union Park, Grand Central and Angels and Mariachis for plenty of good grub and a buzz. This gastropub marks the crew's first foray into River North and offers patrons a three-pronged chilling experience: The spot allows guests to "dine, drink and lounge on three different levels." Billiard tables scatter throughout the space, which recalls the Art Deco era with pastel terra cotta, ornate ironwork, carefully detailed chandeliers, tile mosaics and vintage photographs of Chicago. A view of the skyline lies behind its giant windows that overlook LaSalle Street.

The menu invites patrons to eat well with London-tinged appetizers like the English crisps (waffle fries topped with cheddar cheese, braised shredded pork, red cabbage and sour cream) and curry skewers of shrimp and chicken served with a yogurt dipping sauce. A selection of sliders includes the turkey and mushroom burger, crab cake and Guinness-braised pork belly.

Patrons can drink better by indulging in the spiked house specialties. Impossible-to-resist cocktails include Pimm's Cup with Tanqueray Rangpur (Pimm's No. 1, soda and fresh mint garnished with strawberry and cucumber slice) and St. Germain Champagne Cocktail (St. Germain Liqueur, Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava and soda water).

Average cost: $10-$20
