📍 2049 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60622

Desert Hawk opened in August 2023 in the former Pub Royale space, the second bar from the same group behind Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village's Low Horse (which leans whiskey where Desert Hawk leans agave spirits and California-desert vibes).

Shorty's smash burger and Filipino-inspired tacos rotate through this bar as a pop-up, and the pool table in back makes it worth staying a while.

The kitchen doesn't run its own menu — it hosts a rotating cast of resident pop-ups instead, having hosted Taco Sublime, Sera Pinsa Roman pizza, Smash Jibarito, and Kanto Taquería's Filipino tacos before Shorty's smashburgers became the current, sole kitchen resident -- Shorty's has since been ranked #1 smashburger and #2 best burger overall in Chicago by The Infatuation.

Pool table, genuinely great vibes per multiple reviews, a 4.7 Google rating (4.6 on Yelp), and a daily 5-6PM happy hour.
