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.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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.
