While Bucktown isn't wanting for dining options, this self-proclaimed "eatery and bar" sets itself apart by focusing intently on the food. Chef Chris Pandel sources local produce and features meat from sustainably raised animals. As a consequence, it isn't rare to find braised goat on the frequently changing menu.

Bucktown's Best Restaurants: The Bristol's food is imaginative and the menu is constantly changing. The place specializes in meats and whole-animal butchery and while that is the big draw for many diners, its vegetable dishes such as the Hokkaido squash are no less exciting. The duck fat fries and monkey bread can often be found on many diners' bill. Its cocktails are not an afterthought,...
