Nothing beats the Chicago chill like stepping into Ox Bar & Hearth or Butcher & the Bear—two North Side gems redefining comfort food with a touch of fine dining. Ox Bar & Hearth, breathing new life into a historic corner, offers wood-fired plates and a wine list that champions local and women-owned labels. Just down the road, Butcher & the Bear wows with hand-cut steaks, creative seafood, and even a beef tallow candle for your bread. Both spots are perfect for a night out with friends or a special occasion. Which menu would you dive into first? #Food #ChicagoEats #FineDining
