Manny’s

Manny’s is Grant Park’s most reliable neighborhood dive bar. It has an ownership link to Manuel’s Tavern, so it’s got some built-in street cred. Worn, wood tables look like they’ve seen a bar fight or two and help give the place a been-around-for-decades feel even though the place is only a few years old. An exposed brick wall dividing the two rooms that hold a few dart boards, arcade games, and soccer scarves make it feel possible to bump into avid watchers of both Ted Lasso and Sons of Anarchy. As an extra bonus the food is very solid with plenty of sandwiches like the meaty reuben and a cheesy smash burger that goes perfectly with a cold beer.
