On Chicago’s Navy Pier

Macadamia Nut Popcorn, free drink

Kitsch’n On Roscoe offers a relaxed & casual neighborhood-style space offering a full bar with a hip 70’s “funk-ploitation” theme & too many tongue-in-cheek cultural decor references to mention (beer can collections, lava lamps, Billy Dee Williams “Colt 45” lighted signs, vintage lunchboxes, H&R Puff’n Stuff action figures, etc).
Whether you live in the area, are in town visiting, or just checking it out… this is one chill vantage point from which to soak it all in. The original Kitsch’n On Roscoe is the ultimate place to unwind in a neighborhood setting, whether seated inside (retro-metro 70’s funk-o-licious), or alfresco-style in the sidewalk café and popular backyard tiki beer-garden.
This is where it all started… come in for our legendary weekend “Hangover Brunch” and grab a spot by the tiki-bar, sit down with friends at the front counter, or at one of our vintage FormicaTM tables. Our staff will help steer you in to the “cult status” items on the menu that are sure to please. Order yourself a funky drink from the cocktail list, sit back and look around… you’ll be sure to notice something that will take your thoughts to “back in the day”.

Kitsch’n On Roscoe is located just a mile and a half west of Wrigley Field, in Chicago’s “Roscoe Village” neighborhood at 2005 West Roscoe Street @ Damen Avenue (3400N/2000W).

Green Eggs and Ham

As the name implies, BackStage Bistro is a great place for theater-goers, but the restaurant itself also offers a terrific show. Patrons get to watch students from the Illinois Institute of Art’s Culinary Arts division prepare their meals through several large windows that separate the dining area from the kitchen. The students operate both the front and back ends of the restaurant, and, as servers, they are terrifically friendly, though they can be a tad inefficient. Still, when was the last time you were waited on by a group of people desperately eager to please you?
The atmosphere is intimate and quiet, even when the room fills to capacity, which it does quickly over the meager hours that the restaurant does business. The last possible moment to be seated for dinner is 7 p.m., so call ahead for reservations and make sure everyone in your party shows up on time. As for the food, every morsel of it will rock your world. These kids can cook. Since the menu changes quarterly, these recommendations may be useless by the time you go, but the grilled lamb t-bone, salmon with chow fun noodles and crisp herb risotto all deserve medals. The macadamia tart will make you hum with joy.
You’ll discover that one of the Bistro’s greatest treats is your bill: An outstanding three-course meal with wine will run you between $40 and $50 per person, tip included. This is likely the best value for fine dining in the city.
