Winter is here and dating app season is upon us.

Dating apps and dating websites have given the average Jewish-romance starved millennial a plethora of choice, for better or for worse. Living in a big city like Chicago, it is hard to decide: Drinks? Dancing? Introduce them to your parents right away?

Beverage specialist, Daniel Hammerschlag, makes dating a little easier with this list. Each dating app has its own personality and this is the Jewish Chicago guide to find the best bar based on where you matched. It is getting colder this Winter, so why waste time choosing the spot.

Plenty of Fish

Where: Punch House in Pilsen

What to do there: Punch House has plenty of great cocktails and an actual fish tank – so plenty of fish. Actually, Punch House won the “best bar with a fish tank” from the Chicago Reader in 2012.
