Inside Wrigleyville's New Brewery Serving Up Taters Spliced With Bulgolgi

It's been seven years since Hotel Zachary opened across the street from Wrigley Field, and the building's tall shadow has led to a transformation surrounding the Friendly Confines. Wrigleyville is no stranger to turnover among its bars and restaurants, but as icons like John Barleycorn, and yes — the original Taco Bell — met their demise, it's left an opening for a different type of nightlife to emerge along Clark Street. In the middle of this chaos, beer consumption has changed in America. And that's why Pilot Project Brewing isn't banking on hops alone. The Wrigleyville location should soon debut at 3473 N. Clark Street; ownership is waiting for its liquor license, according to a rep. It's the second Pilot Project to open in Chicago, following the original brewery in Logan Square. There's also a Milwaukee location. Pilot Project serves as an incubator of small brewers, leasing out its space and equipment to jump-start businesses and offering beers from different brands inside its taproom. The Wrigley location takes that a step further with a new food menu. Earlier, ownership peculiarly described the menu as 'neo-American street food' without teasing any specific items. It turns out that means dishes like Italian won tons, soup dumplings in a bath of pozole, and loaded tater tots with pieces of bulgogi. It's more or less food made by third culture kids, combining the food their immigrant parents grew up eating with food commonly found in American homes. It's a version of New American tweaked for the bar. Beyond the souped-up menu, Pilot Project is also serving glasses of wine and canned cocktails from its own brand, Devious.
