Pilsen Yards

Pilsen Yards is a buzzing cocktail bar and Latin street food destination at 1163 W 18th St in the heart of Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. Executive Chef Juan Gutierrez's menu spans inspired Latin fare, from tacos and ceviches to carne asada and hummus, paired with a mezcal, tequila, and whiskey-forward bar program. The year-round heated and covered patio is one of the best in the city, with radiant-heated cement floors, overhead heaters, and a clear roof. Tucked within the bar is The Alderman, a 2022 Jean Banchet Award-winning intimate 16-seat cocktail bar featuring riffs on American classics and rotating seasonal cocktails. Vinyl DJ sets run every Thursday through Sunday, and the space suits date nights, happy hour, and family visits alike.
