Patio Season in Full Swing at Earl's Kitchen + Bar

There are some things us Chicagoans just can't get enough of; brunch, deep dish pizza, baseball and most definitely chillin' on a patio as often as possible, all summer long!  My new favorite after work meet up, "let's party it up on a patio" place is Earl's Kitchen + Bar in Lincoln Park.

Their three-season-patio features chic, modern fire pits, perfect for after the sun goes down.  A guest DJ is also set up on the patio select nights of the week, spinning a selection of dance-worthy beats!

You all know how much I love a good cocktail (I'm going to thank the multiple episodes of Sex and The City I've watched in my lifetime for that). Well, Earl's seriously knows how to make an amazing drink!  I haven't stopped craving their lemon meringue frozen cocktail since I first tasted it.  Confession time: I may have had three of them - Ooops!

Another amazing cocktail that I sampled was the Frozen White Peach Bellni!  The combination of sangria, rum and white wine makes for a refreshing summer drink.

Earl's also offers a great selection of snacks and entrées made from scratch, with fresh ingredients.  Their focus is an upscale take on casual dining.  Sushi rolls, rice bowls and doctored up burgers are just a few of the items featured on their Chicago menu.

Nestled within a small courtyard, almost concealed from the surrounding bustling city, Earl's is a hidden gem.  Grab some friends and a pitcher of sangria or margarita to share and see why happy hour has never been happier, at Earl's.
