Ørkenoy is a Nordic-inspired brewpub, located inside of Humboldt Park’s Kimball Art Center. What exactly is a Nordic-inspired brewery you ask? Well, it’s a cute, airy spot that feels more like a cafe, which also serves beers like Norwegian-style farmhouse ales along with crispy fish smørrebrød and Swedish meatballs. Its somewhat hidden location means it’s usually not busy, making it a solid place for a last-minute snack if you're walking along the 626 across the street.
