Congrats to Sheffield’s for making Esquire’s list of the best bars in America in the June issue (the one with Megan Fox on the cover, if that helps any). There are plenty of Chicago bars on the men’s mag’s Web site feature of the best bars in the country, but Sheffield’s was the only one in town to make the print edition.

Not that we need the affirmation – and anybody who’s been to Sheffield’s knows it’s among the best of the best around – but after Chicago’s recent disappointments at the Beard Awards, it’s nice to get a little recognition.

Check out the full list of the country’s best bars here; and a tip of the cap for mentions to Bungalow, Hopleaf, California Clipper, Duke of Perth, B.L.U.E.S., Hideout, Matchbox, Chip Inn, The Violet Hour and Walter Payton’s Roundhouse in Aurora.
