So you want to know where the logo came from? The original Yak-Zies saloon opened in 1966 in a dimly lit basement on West Diversey Prky. Two years later the logo was developed via our way of life. Picture the sun rising over the horizon of Lake Michigan around 5 a.m. on any given Sunday summer morning and you're walking up out of a basement. The face on the logo could be me, you or anyone else who may have spent their evening imbibing in our underground environment. We have all made it home to look in the mirror and see those blood shot eyes staring back at us, half mast as we placed a cool ice pack on top of our cranial area. Explanation: The morning after! In 1990 Yak-Zies Wirgleyville opened it's doors just a stones throw from historic Wrigley Field. 25 years later you can still find the number 1 Cubs party in town located at 3710 North Clark St. 25 years in the history books & 25 years of stories to tell!

A hutch is a traditional piece of furniture present in most family’s dining rooms. It’s familiar, dependable and showcases our most beloved belongings.

Hutch Chicago offers a take on American classics including appetizers like the Hutch board (cured meats, Wisconsin cheese curds, jumbo corn nuts, house pickles and seasonal garnish), skillet shrimp (creole butter and dunking bread) and tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons. Entree stand outs include pork chop (grilled with peaches, bacon butter,and roasted broccolini), An array of brick-oven flatbreads, burgers and sandwiches complete the menu. Complement your dinner with a craft brew, “New Fashioned” cocktail or glass of wine. Serving Brunch EVERYDAY 10-3 pm. Dressed in natural woven textiles and dark wood Hutch is the perfect place to dip into a dark tufted pebbled leather banquette while enjoying comfort food in a friendly environment.

Signature dishes, which draw raves from Lakeview locals and Cubs fans alike, include options such as Goose Island Blue Line-battered green beans with chipotle mayo; pulled pork nachos with braised pork shoulder, signature whiskey-spiked barbecue sauce, Cheddar cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, onions and sour cream; a grilled Paulina Meat Market bratwurst with onion confit and hot mustard; and a Moo and Oink burger, which features a Certified Black Angus beef patty topped with Cheddar cheese, pulled pork, crispy onions and signature barbecue sauce.
