Pilsen and beyond bars

Alright real talk, I'm an HVAC guy, I'm in and out of basements and boiler rooms all day and by the time I clock out I need a beer that don't cost 14 bucks. This the list I text people when they ask where to go before or after a show at Thalia Hall. Mix of dives, one cocktail spot for when somebody's trying to impress a date, and a brewery you drive to on purpose. No cap on any of these, they all real, I been to every one for real.
