5 Guy-Friendly Drinks

The Publican

2

The Bristol
2152 N. Damen Ave.
For the man who just can’t get enough meat, $9 buys a Manhattan made with bacon-infused Dewars, maple syrup, and bitters.

Pump up your pint with a $7.95 Michelada: Goose Island 312, salt, pepper, and ancho-chile-spiked lime.

The Bluebird
1749 N. Damen Ave.
Sip on something seriously outdoorsy: The $18 Clear Creek Doug Fir features brandy infused with the spring buds of fir trees.
