SOPO

A friend and I headed to SOPO in the Southport corridor on Sunday for Bloody Marys. The place has a very lounge-like feel and it's supposed to be pretty packed after Cubs games and on weekend nights. When we were there, the atmosphere was a bit more laid back and we didn't feel too out of place in our workout wear.

The Bloody Marys were good, but too spicy for my taste. The menu was more impressive than we expected and enticed us with the homemade mac & cheese. So, we shared one small serving and it was wonderful. The small was a generous sized bowl filled with cavatappi noodles, a mixture of delicious cheeses and topped with a crust of butter-soaked bread crumbs, for a little crunch. It was such a treat!

Based on the mac & cheese, I would absolutely go back here to try other items, and maybe stick around and drink too much one night. Their sangria is supposed to be fantastic!
