Editorial Review for Trace – by Maura York
The Scene
Wrigleyville residents and Cubs fans who don't need to party themselves sick take solace in this sedate two-story space near the ballpark. Not that a healthy respect for sports isn't tolerated: The main floor has a slighty sporty aspect, including several TVs flank the large bar. Upstairs, talk of strikes and outs gives way to striking a pose on the dance floor and hanging out with a reasonably sized crowd, a relief in a neighborhood known for mostly sardine-tight social scenes. Dark wood throughout perpetuates a cozy feel, and music-themed artworks by local painter David Powers add color and culture.
The Draw
A hearty beverage selection includes everything from draft beer to Dewar's 12. Many consider Trace's jukebox one of the best in town, featuring a mix of classic rock and alternative selections favored by the mostly 20- to 30-something crowd. The bar also frequently hosts live acoustic acts.

Gotta love a bar that caters to music snobs downstairs and everyone else upstairs. The owner/bartending staff are excellent and know how to make everyone feel welcome!!!!
