This fall, the Revolution Brewing Company will open a 20,000-square foot brew pub in the Logan Square neighborhood in a 100-year-old building that formerly housed a newspaper printer. […]
About a mile away, on a sleepy residential stretch of Damen Avenue, Bar DeVille sits conspicuously among the old graystones and single-family homes of the Ukrainian Village neighborhood. Inside, glimmering candles on each antique-looking table light the dark setting. Velvet drapes, lace curtains and crystal-clear mirrors accent exposed brick walls. The no-charge red-felt pool table is beneath antlers mounted on the wall, and the back room resembles a French bordello or English country house with its inviting mismatched couches, herringbone wood floors and framed landscapes.
About a third of the beers are local, including Goose Island, Three Floyds, Half Acre, Metropolitan and Two Brothers. The rest are domestic crafts and, this being something of a hipster joint, the requisite Pabst Blue Ribbon draft.
Gotta love the craft beer explosion. Congrats to my buddy and Bar Deville managing partner Brad Bolt for the mention.
