The bars in this city are a drunkard's dream. All sizes and shapes. There are a few that have "beer gardens"; basically these are big rooms with lots of seating to drink.
LOTS of Irish pubs. Friggin' everywhere actually.
Then there are a plethora of places that a respectable gentleman should not frequent. Fortunately, I am neither a gentleman nor respectable.
Sterch's: popular with writers in 60's and 70's.
Ravens: open til 4am and serves only popcorn.
B.L.U.E.S.: a loud racuous Blues bar. I can;t wait to check out some more places.
The Billy Goat Tavern: underneath the Chi Tribune building, the basis for the infamous SNL Belushi sketch "cheezeborger" (it's even on the sign), and also responsible for a curse
on the Cubs (the original owner cursed the Cubs back in '45 when they wouldn't let him
bring his pet goat into Wrigley Field, and the Cubs have NOT been back to the World Series
since).
