Erik RowleyNovember 6, 2016Often sited as the most haunted bar in Chicago. Ask to see the dagger, found in a basement wall during reno. The staff keeps it in a towel and will not touch it and warn patrons not to either...
- Erik RowleyNovember 6, 2016The dagger is believed to have been used during satanic rituals and a pentagram was found drawn years back on the basement floor. Ask about the history over a shot of Malort.
Can get pretty cramped, but excellent bar staff and great music!
The Daily MealJune 23, 2011A popular venue for some of Chicago’s trendiest local bands, it's known for attracting a diverse clientele. The drink offerings here are pretty standard, so stick with your most beloved standbys. Read more

"Drink this: Bartender Paul McGee's cocktail list is rad. Try the Old Square: Old Weller bourbon and a touch of apple brandy, vermouth and benedictine."

"Fun and crowded without being overbearing."

"As the name suggests, cocktails and drinks are the name of the game at this underground spot. Try out their Pimm's cup or the Pilsen Fish House Punch. Or anything on the menu really it's all great."
