We’ve all been there. Victims of a broken heart perhaps once, twice, hell maybe even three or four times in our lifetime. However, that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost in finding love again, or the perfect rebound for the time being.
Lincoln Park affords its residents tons of luxuries and access to plenty of bars to drown your sorrows in alcohol and cozy up to strangers for the perfect summer fling. Now, I know some of you may disagree with the notion of jumping into a relationship so soon after a failed attempt at love, but guess what? It’s not a relationship! Let’s call it a harmless distraction that coats your jilted heart and distracts you from drunk dialing your ex at 2a.m. begging (or demanding) for a second chance. While you’re mindlessly checking your phone for missed calls from him/her, check out these top 5 Lincoln Park hot spots to score the perfect rebound:
Maeve: AKA “she who intoxicates,” this neighborhood gem has a fully stocked bar and an extensive wine list for those who those want to “get to know” their rebounds better. Seriously?
Faith & Whiskey: Where rock ‘n’ roll meets hip hop, Faith & Whiskey offers specialty cocktails and an edgier ambiance that’s perfect for folks suffering from an angrier break-up state of mind; i.e., “I’ll hit you with my car if I have the chance.”
Liar’s Club: The name of this hidden Lincoln Park bar says it all, but if you’re picky about your rebound and want to find someone that can dance, drink you under the table and drink some more, this place is definitely for you.
Rocks Lincoln Park: If you’re tired of staring at the walls in your apartment and need a change of scenery to be alone with your thoughts, Rocks Lincoln Park is the place to be. This high-end lounge speaks more “yuppie” than the others mentioned above, but it’s the perfect spot to find a listening ear from your bartender without the judgmental stare. Easy access for a potential rebound, if you ask me.
Mickeys Bar & Patio: Daytime drinking, anyone? Mickeys is the perfect place for wallowing in your sorrows for brunch, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack if you choose! There is plenty of eye candy both inside and out of the bar, you’ll have a roster full of rebounds to last the entire summer.
