http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24187 Goose Island is Chicago's only "craft beer" i.e. microbrewery and has been going since 1988.
They do brewery tours at N. Clybourn site on Sunday afternoons at $3 for a tour, full beer tastings and a souvenir glass to take away! Its ideal to have a leisurely lunch there (the food is also great, esp. the burgers) followed by the tour.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24187 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19473
A tip: for the ultimate, sublime experience, get a reservation at the kitchen table. Also formal but utterly magical is TRU in Streeterville. A rather unique combination of gallery and eatery, this hip establishment houses two of Chicago’s most eminent chefs (Rick Tramanto and Gale Gand), sommelier Scott Tyree’s 1,400-bottle wine selection and an original Andy Warhol. From the moment you enter through the deliciously decadent black drapes, you’ll be stunned. Try the caviar, kobe beef and truffle-garnished scallops for a lasting memory. And don’t forget to wear a (louche) jacket.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19473 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19472 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19472 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19471 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19471 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19468 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19468 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19469 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19469 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17628 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17628 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17305 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17305
