Chicago Restaurant Guide

Located on the corner of Willow and Halsted and just steps from The Steppenwolf and Royal George theaters, The Black Duck Tavern & Grille is Lincoln Park's newest neighborhood spot for great food at reasonable prices. Designed to have a casual, comfortable atmosphere, this bar/restaurant is reminiscent of a classic hunt club, and is filled with antique duck decoys, oars, fishing reels and rods, golf clubs, and numerous hunting and fishing prints. The 25-foot bar is dark mahogany with a copper top and complements the dark, hardwood floors and copper lighting. For patrons who want to feel like they are dining at home, there is a special seating area complete with a sofa, two side chairs, coffee table and dark mahogany mini-tables. In the warmer months, French doors, which wrap the front and side part of the building, open fully. The downstairs area is open for general drinking and dining or private parties. The menu offers a wide variety of selections, including such notable selections as the Pecan Crusted Walleye Pike, Crab Stuffed Chicken Breast and New York strip sirloin steak.
