The Perch Kitchen and Tap is a partnership between 4 STAR Restaurant Group and Finch Beer Co. - one of Wicker Park's newest full service restaurants + bar with an onsite brewery. Exclusive beers are always on tap, just waiting to be paired with something seasonal from the wood-fired grill. We're always down to raise a glass: to great food and great beer.

Transit Tees takes visuals from Chicago's metropolitan landscapes and transforms them into fashionable artwork. The brand was founded in 2001 by Tim Gillengerten, a creative director who aspired to build an apparel line that reinterprets subway maps, street signs, city seals and flags in ways that the public had never seen before. Today, Transit Tees is an official manufacturer for the Chicago Transit Authority and locally designs, fabricates and retails their signature brand online and at their two storefronts in Wicker Park and Andersonville.

Whiskey business was established in 2013 but with years of delays they were finally able to open their doors in January of 2016. Whiskey business pays homage to the late 80's movie Risky Business. It is inspired by the love for the 80's and 90's so you will find all sorts of retro items mixed throughout the restaurant from transformers to a leg lamp as well as many other items to bring you back in time. The restaurant has a plethora of French fry options on the menu as well as many other items that you have grown up on. Located in wicker park it became the first location on Milwaukee Ave. to have a rooftop bar. With a large amount of TV's both inside and out it is a great place to just relax and have a good time and feel young again. You can sip on a variety of frozen drinks or try one of their Whiskey Business cocktails voted as one of the best in the city. With the ability to accommodate over 300 people it makes for a great spot for a private venue.
