Chicago Locations Featured in Netflix's “Easy”

In episode seven, “Chemistry Read,” a young actress performs in a play at the long-standing Victory Gardens Biograph Theater. The episode’s titles are also a drawing of the Biograph with the word “easy” replacing the name.

Episode three, “Brewing Brothers,” is unsurprisingly about brewing beer. Brothers Jeff and Matt take a tour of the Half Acre brewery early in the episode, and their partners later get a drink in Half Acre’s Lincoln taproom.

Graphic novelist Jacob Malco is the focus of episode five, “Art and Life,” and he gives a talk at City Lit, one of the city’s best independent bookstores. Find it on North Kedzie Blvd.

Early in episode six, the characters played by Malin Akerman and Kate Micucci eat in Lincoln Square’s Baker Miller, a bakery and café that also has a stone mill to grind its own wheat.

In episode four, “Controlada,” the characters get dinner at Pilsen’s Dusek’s Board & Beer, in the same building as Punch House and Thalia Hall.

It’s Halloween in episode one, and Andi needs to get some trick-or-treat costumes for her kids, so naturally, they go to Portage Park’s Fantasy Costumes, Chicago’s largest selection of costumes, wigs and more.

One of the main characters in episode two is a vegan and a cyclist, so Handlebar in Wicker Park is the obvious place for her to get breakfast, with its vegan and vegetarian menu of American classics.

In “Controlada,” Gabi shows her friend from out of town around the city, including Millennium Park’s Cloud Gate and the Gehry-designed BP Bridge.

Back to episode three and a couple of the characters work for Chicago’s Dark Matter Coffee—their Mothership, Roastery & Espresso Bar location on North Western Ave is featured.

Later in episode two, two friends meet for dinner at Spinning J Bakery and Soda Fountain on North California Ave, even enjoying some of its famous gelato.
