Lava Lounge

Description:

• This youth-oriented bar is intimate, inviting and the best example of Wicker Park funk. There are wall murals in dark, ominous colors and the front room's large, circular booths accommodate groups of friends talking radical politics into the wee hours. Throughout the bar, numerous nooks hold additional chairs and couches. There is a pool table at the rear of the bar in the basement. It has a decent selection of beers and mixed drinks, although it can get pricey at an average of per cocktail. The prices don't keep people away, however, the place is always packed on the weekends.
