Izakaya Shinya

Izakaya Shinya is a Japanese grill and bar at 2255 W. North Ave. in Wicker Park, a few blocks west of the Damen Blue Line stop. The kitchen grills yakitori skewers of chicken, seafood and vegetables and pours sake, Japanese whisky and cocktails, with the full menu available until close rather than a trimmed late card. The restaurant describes itself as an izakaya-style Japanese grill, and online ordering runs through Chowbus.

What to know

• Chowbus delivery and pickup follow the same schedule as the dining room.
• The 72 North bus stops out front, and the Blue Line runs all night.
• Street parking on North Avenue is metered and scarce on weekends.
