The SceneThis bar and restaurant combo is decoratively inspired by early Chicago taps and is just as approachable. Wood-heavy, TV-peppered and bearing plenty of bar stools, the tavern side caters to casual 30-somethings done checking out scenes, while its adjacent dining room appeals to Lincoln Parkers seeking prime steaks, fresh seafood and upscale--but again, approachable--cocktails. In the summer, simple sidewalk seating offers a tree-lined breath of fresh air.The DrawEighteen taps, plus a few more bottles, ensure something for every beer-drinker; single malts, ports, cognacs and wines satisfy those in search of finer things without fuss. Food-wise, sauteed crab cakes with country mustard sauce, zippy blackened flank steak and mushroom salad, and double-cut lamb chops with bourbon-rosemary sauce go beyond bar norms. A juke features standards from the Dead to Britney, while live music on Saturdays kicks it up a notch with Eagles and Beatles covers.
