Some Mondays call for more than just four cups of coffee. After making it through the longest day of the week, reward yourself with beer and pastry at Lincoln Park's Austrian Bakery. Didn't realize this bakery had gone BYOB a while ago? Allow us to spread the good news of apfelstrudel and Hacker-Pschorr. Though it didn't have a bring your own policy until last year, Austrian Bakery now permits you to carry in wine or beer to wash down your pastry, sandwiches, and schnitzel. In addition to sweets like strudels, danishes, and croissants, Austrian Bakery also serves full dinners like wiener schnitzel, beef goulash and spaetzle, and frittaten soup. Once you've filled up on this hearty homecooking, visit the other bottle-friendly spots on our Feast List: BYOB Stalwarts. [The Feast]
