Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village

LoginSave

Situated on the western edge of Bucktown, Remedy is a newer addition to Chicago’s slate of bars open until 4am (5am on Saturday). But despite the coveted late-night liquor license, it endeavors to be an 'anytime' establishment, courting the line between casual and classy.

There are craft cocktails – the Asshattan (rye, Italian vermouth, yellow chartreuse, sour cherry maraschino and Angostura bitters) won best cocktail in town in the Reader's 2017 Best of Chicago poll – and local beer, fancy light fixtures and a loud jukebox, a cozy fireplace and massive fish tank. When you’re undecided what type of bar you’re in the mood for, this neighborhood spot offers a remedy.
