North Center

- Anna Affias
The North Center neighborhood hearkens back to the time when every community had its own butcher, tailor, blacksmith and, it being Chicago, a brewery. It can feel a little off the beaten-path, but rest assured, it’s well worth the journey. There are plenty of old gems that make up some of the neighborhood's best kept secrets & just as many up-and-coming restaurants & shops you'll be happy to explore.

From the minute you walk into Timber lanes, you’ll be magically transported back in time. Their effortless vibe is contagious and the thick musty smell sets a seamless stage to the story of their past (apparently the original land of Timber Lanes was once an Indian burial ground and is said to be haunted by their remains). Cheap lanes, manual scoring and phenomenal drink specials make this place a true diamond in the rough and one of the best deals in the ‘hood. What more could you ask for? Cash only.
