Pompette

Pompette is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar at 1960 N Damen Ave. in Bucktown. The wine list leans on small, low-intervention producers from Europe, and the kitchen sends out small plates such as crab croquettes, grilled shrimp, quiche and veggie hash, along with pastries made in house. Low-ABV cocktails and classic drinks fill out the bar menu next to the wine list.
