Dollar Burger Night at Bar Louie
Tuesdays are Dollar Burger Night at local favorite Bar Louie. My two favorite locations are in the South Loop and in Hyde Park under the Flamingo Apartment building. Dollar Burger Night begins after 5:00 p.m., they do charge additional for any toppings, the burger itself comes just with cheese and then you can add ketchup and mustard for free. Honestly the burgers are so good they don't need much, they're super thick and flavorful, but it doesn't cost much to add any extras you like around $0.50 to $1.00 ($1.00 applies to things like different cheeses, bacon, larger add-ons like that).
