They have a great beer selection and they are open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. One of the few places in Oak Park that stay open past midnight. You need to try their amazing fries! I like the Truffle Parmesan Fries and the ultimate guilty pleasure... the Chorizo Cheese Fries... Delish!

Drinks & Nightlife
Maya is a wonderful Mexican fine dining restaurant with live entertainment and great margaritas. And on a nice summer night, their outdoor patio is the best place to relax with friends and drink a cold drink. My favorite cocktail is the Mangaso (Mango Rum, Mango Puree, and Fresh Lime Juice) Delicioso!!
