This is a MUST while you are around here! The wait will be long if you don't get there right when they open. Little tip, the open for coffee an hour before food service so you can usually sneak into a table ahead of the crowd if you post up early with a cup of joe. Order the grilled cheese with egg and truffled honey! You'll thank me!!!

Owned by the same family as Milktooth, this place has the tastiest food and an awesome patio! I'm not gonna lie...I typically don't know all the words on the menu, but I've never had anything that wasn't the most delicious there! You can't go wrong. A few staples: the brussel sprouts and the crem fresh spagetti make an awesome snack. And from the bar make sure to try their home made ginger beer in the cities best Moscow Mule and sip on my personal fav, The Sanctuary; it's a scotch cocktail that refreshingly different and tasty!

Kuma’s started in 2005 with its flagship location at the corner of Belmont and Francisco avenues in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood. From our origins as a corner bar with solid American bistro fare, we’ve grown to five locations that offer the finest burgers available on this planet or any other.
We’ve been extremely fortunate to show host to thousands of dedicated eaters from locales near and far. As such, we feel it is our obligation to give back to the communities that support us and support our love for meat and heavy metal. So we encourage you to ask your server about the charity of the month and consider donating to what we feel are worthy and deserving causes. We support purveyors that are local and homegrown. Which means we don’t carry Miller Lite and we don’t carry Budweiser. We encourage you to read over our menu and seek out information on the wide selection of rotating craft brews and spirits we carry year round. Our bars feature an exclusive selection of small label whiskeys and many other varieties of alcoholic and non-alcoholic libations as well as carrying the distinction of being able to offer several whiskeys on tap.

Venture to the Athenaeum for a stein of German lager in the historic Rathskeller Biergarten, try local craft beers at Ralston's Drafthouse or sip a cocktail at the prohibition-era ball&biscuit. Foodies can indulge in American-modern cuisine at Mesh or take down a platter of tacos at Bakersfield. Take in Indy culture at its finest on Mass Ave, "45 Degrees from Ordinary."

From maintaining the architectural integrity of the Pump House to local woodworking in the Wood Shop, the architecture of our spaces is thoughtful and intentional.
We’ve produced quality beers over the years by challenging and refining our craft, not by appeasing trends. Discerning taste, rolled up sleeves, and upholding our uniquely progressive ideals ensures our drinkers will appreciate Upland beers as much as we do. Many of our brews are unique twists on traditional recipes, while others are creations of our own imaginations. In 2006, we traded a few cases of beer for barrels from our friends at Oliver Winery, and we haven’t stopped innovating with sour beers yet.
