 SOUTHBANK ORIGINAL BARBECUE 129 E. Hydraulic St., Yorkville www.Southbankoriginalbarbecue.com This downtown Yorkville destination is known for its slow-cooked barbecue and view of the Fox River. Even better? Well-behaved, leashed canine companions are welcome on the gravel area surrounding the outdoor patio. “People love bringing their dogs to SOB,” says Audrey Lewan, whose husband, Marc, is one of Southbank’s owners. “I think it’s enjoyable because people can sit outside and enjoy the weather and some food and drinks and not feel guilty for leaving their best friend at home.”

 OSWEGO BREWING CO. 61 S. Main St., Oswego www.oswegobrewing.com Located in the heart of Oswego’s downtown, this locally owned establishment strives to serve the best locally brewed beer.
