BEER & SAUSAGE 2.0 CRAFT BREWS AND GOURMET DOGS AT BANGERS & LACE Hot dogs and beer get an upgrade at Bangers & Lace, Wicker Park’s new gourmet sausage and craft brew gastropub. Located in the former Mas space at Division and Paulina, the hipster-friendly space offers communal bar-style seating in the front, paired with a more rustic back room of leather couches and a small wood-burning stove. A giant chalkboard above the bar announces the 32 draft beer choices, mostly upscale North American niche brews like Gumballhead and Fleur served by mustachioed men in plaid snap shirts, who also take your food order. An eclectic meat-focused menu offers a dozen sausage varieties including the sauerkraut-infused Sheboygan veal brat and foie gras corn dog. The juicy, tenderly cooked entrees easily top any brats or char-grilled weiners you'll find along the Division strip. Alternative options include the excellent $3 hot dog, 68 bottled beers, Irish breakfast sliders, and a hearty root beer float or black dog gelato for dessert.
