Best Way To Get Around:

To get to Carol's Pub in the Uptown neighborhood, your best bet would be to take a cab. I would not recommend that people who are not familiar with the area walk around in it, but if you must, go west from the red line train Wilson stop to Clark Street (seven blocks), turn right, and walk to Leland Avenue (one block). You can also take the Metra Union Pacific North line to the Ravenswood stop, walk east on Lawrence Avenue to Clark Street (four blocks), turn right, ans walk south to Leland Avenue (one block).

Carol's doesn't have a website, but here's the phone number: (773) 334-2402.

To get to the Empty Bottle in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood, take the blue line train to Western and take the 49 Western bus (regular or express) south to Division Street. Walk south along Western Avenue three blocks to Cortez Street. Or just take a cab.
