Carmella's is a must when you are in South Side. Great atmosphere set by the eccentric decorations. Whether you're stopping in for a drink or a full meal, the experience is great. I have only eaten here twice - once for dinner and once for brunch. Both were delicious! The menu varies daily which means you are always surprised but pleasantly so. The drinks are also delicious. I tried a moscow mule since that is what they are known for - not my thing to begin with but it was still refreshing. They have an expansive whiskey selection and you can become a "member," so to speak, and they will keep track of the ones you have tried. They also make a mean manhattan and old fashion. Highly recommended for a meal and/or drinks!
