On a damp, dark night, when the city is out to eat you alive and you want to hide out in front of a wood-crackling fire, join Smokey, Bambi and the gang at Bigfoot Lodge. The forest preservation icons welcome you to the cozy log cabin, while faux taxidermy eerily smile down upon the dark booths and wooden porch chairs lining the lounge. The room is always filled with the warmth and laughter of the rockabillies, art Goths and neighborhood hipsters who swap stories and cans of PBR. Saddle up to the tree-limbed bar and have one of the gruff, buff or tattooed bartenders shake you up at Girl Scout Cookie, decadence that's as addictively pleasurable as a Thin Mint. A wide range of rock aficionados take to the turntables nightly, playing indie, punk and new wave, including anything from Joy Division to The Kinks and X. Lines are common and the room fills up quickly on the weekends so drifters should wander in early to earn a spot snuggling around the fireplace.
