Chicago's premier beer and bacon bar, Paddy Long’s is a popular hangout for a mixed crowd of young Lincoln Park hipsters and older regulars on a first-name basis with the owner – a Dublin native who is often also the bartender. Usually low-key and welcoming, this Irish-style pub features craft beers and a menu that would make a vegetarian faint, including the signature Bacon Bomb, a five-pound processed pork explosion that few have ever attempted to finish.
