BYOB Chicago: Your Guide to Bring-Your-Own-Bottle Restaurants and Wine & Spirits Stores in Chicago (BYOB Guides) [Paperback]

Jean Iversen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 29, 2005 | Series: BYOB Guides

Spotlighting restaurants in Chicago that do not have liquor licenses and allow their customers to "BYOB," or bring-your-own-bottle, this conveniently sized resource provides all the information needed for an enjoyable BYOB dining experience. Included in this delightful guide are 15 detailed neighborhood maps to help readers reach their destination, cross-referenced indices of BYOBs by cuisine and neighborhood, tips on BYOB etiquette, and spirit and food pairing guidelines. Intended for budget-minded diners who do not wish to pay a 300% markup on alcohol, this guide introduces establishments that not only allow but encourage their patrons to bring their own wine, beer, or spirits.

Thank you Jean for putting together the most comprehensive list of great BYOB places in Chicago. I'm not sure how I managed for so long without it. You have surpassed Zagat in my book!
