With us, you’ll never leave hungry! Bat 17, located in Evanston, IL, is a unique, upscale deli and pub serving gourmet dishes in a fun & casual atmosphere. Our burgers have won awards from local papers, and Ted Brunson, WGN-TV Chicago’s Best host, said we have some of the very best sandwiches in Chicago! Our pulled pork is made in house, and we take a fine-dining approach to the selection of all v

endors and suppliers. All of our bread comes from Bennison’s Bakery and managed by Jory Downer, World Cup of Baking Gold Medalist and Certified Master Baker. Kelly Eisenberg, from right here in Chicago, supplies our mouth-watering lean corned beef and pastrami. At Bat 17, we are always having fun. We have pool tables, a photo booth, lots of space for private parties, and plenty of TVs for those sports fans. There are more than 60 beers in house, lots on draft, and a great w**e and cocktail selection. Don’t forget to check out our drink and food specials, and enjoy a complimentary gourmet coffee bar with our unique menu selections. If you have a special event coming up, we have convenient catering platters for any occasion. Ask us about our college gift cards, business catering pre-paid charge cards, or just plain gift cards. Our goal is to give our customers an experience like no other beginning with the absolute best sandwiches on the planet and providing service that is second to none. Come join the fun!

Stop in and try our Cachaça Mule! It has everything you know and love about a mule but with a hint of banana blossom and extra citrus. It pairs great with our tilapia sandwich, bonus if you add some sweet potato fries.
