Editorial Review for Justin's – by John Dugan
The Scene
This big corner joint's two large rooms are split by a massive bar; TVs broadcast loads of satellite-beamed sports. Vintage athletic memorabilia and buffalo heads add character, as do curiosities such as a reproduction of the Irish Republic Declaration, wall-mounted jukeboxes and an antique condom dispenser. Out back, a spacious beer garden outfitted with stools and tables features its own full bar and is illuminated by old-fashioned streetlights.
The Draw
In the warmer months, Justin's claim-to-fame beer garden reopens, and it becomes a popular--but thankfully not jammed--post-Cubs game hangout. Young professionals from near and far (including more females than at similar bars) mix it up. In any season, the food menu is more adventurous than typical bar grub rosters, and a formidable 15 beers on tap (including Stella, Hoegaarden and Nitro) are worth getting to know.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThe bar usually features one special all season long, like discount beer buckets.
Know Before You GoAll lunch and dinner items (including specials such as barbecue pork sandwiches, pita wraps and chicken Marsala) are made to order, so expect to wait at least one drink for your food to arrive.

As you drive up and down Southport your choices for a burger, fries, or sandowch are endless. As a repeat visitor, I can say that Justin's consistently provides firendly service, awesome food, and a relaxed atmosphere. My favorite menu item is the blackened chicken wrap (also available with steak) that comes filled with guacamole, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, and mexican cheese. I know what you are thinking, "How can you mess up a wrap?" Give it a try and you will undestand why I measure every other wrap I eat against this one! Justin's also has a great burger and tator tots.

regulars chill & ex-regulars have a sense of "i wish this were in my new 'hood" when at justin's. good table service. food is filling. occasionally good beer selections (i.e. redhook on draft). trail maps on walls too.
Pros: beer garden, beer garten, beer gurden
