The Cellar

There are people out there who love Evanston, who couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, who think it is the Great Compromise between city and suburb. And then there are the rest of us, who believe the only thing to do in the land of Northwestern students is go to a movie and eat large quantities of Red Mango. It’s for us that the partners behind the Stained Glass Bistro have opened the Cellar, a beer-and-wine bar with a global selection of small plates from bacon-wrapped dates to a bucket of fried chicken to sake-steamed mussels. If the scope of the menu makes it seem as if they’re appealing to a diverse crowd, that’s because this is Evanston. They have to. 820 Clark St, Evanston (847-864-8600).
