Things to Do in Bucktown

Just start by taking a walk down to Holstein Park, which dates back to 1854. You’ll find baseball fields, basketball courts, a swimming pool, and a gym to let you stay in shape and get a game going on the weekends. There’s also a spray pool and playground for entertaining the children. If you’d rather sample some of the area’s noted artistic output, head to the Flatiron Arts Building. Reminiscent of Manhattan’s own Flatiron, this is where you’ll find artists’ studios that are regularly open to the public.
 
You’ll also find a significant shopping district along Damen Avenue. Try Apartment Number 9, a trendsetting men’s boutique, where the salespeople can put together an outstanding outfit in minutes, or hit Eskell for designer labels sourced from the country’s hippest enclaves. Other options include the Cat and Mouse Game Store, which offers a wealth of games and even family game nights, and the Myopic Bookstore — one of Chicago’s oldest and largest used bookstores, it offers three floors’ worth of volumes stacked from floor to ceiling.

  • The Bento Box: This intimate establishment offers delicious Asian cuisine, including Thai chili-scented broth and delicious curry, with a menu that changes daily.
  • Craft Pizza: Head to Craft Pizza for something a little more relaxed. Serving some of the best new thin-crust pizza in the city, the team at Craft provides anything from a classic margarita to a farm-fresh slice.
 
After you’ve finished eating, check out one of Bucktown’s fantastic bars:
 
  • Danny’s Tavern: Danny’s always has a line on Friday and Saturday nights, but that just means it’s worth the wait. With rotating DJs and a comprehensive selection of drinks, it’s the perfect place to kick back.
