Just outside of Lincoln Park, in Lake View, is Corridor Brewing. They have both great beer and great food.

For Belgian style beers, Monks on Lake St is great, but its one of the only good bars in that neighborhood, so it's a total zoo starting at about 4 pm most days. Its further north than the neighborhood you mentioned, but Hopleaf is my favorite beer list in the city and worth traveling for, imo. The food is great, too.

Villains always has a solid taplist and a reserve bottle list as well.

The Publican, as already suggested, is the best. But if food isn't that important, purely for number of beers on the menu you should look at Howells & Hood

Kimski in Bridgeport is some fantastic food and is a sister restaurant for Marz brewing. Their tap list is pretty good and they have an extensive bottle collection. Then an obvious shout out to Hopleaf, which almost needs no introduction. Intense Belgian focus but it really is beer mecca.

First draft in the South Loop, amazing food and I think they have around 100 taps. I'd highly recommend the pork wings too!
