The best bar in the city. Run by 93 year old Wanda. Best bartender in Chicago, Bruce. A true master of his craft. Absolute professional.

Yes, it's a bar, but they also serve decent food (at a reasonable price), which is why I go there. The menu changes, so call ahead. Some days, they have meatloaf, breaded pork chops, turkey dinner, roast pork, burgers, steak sandwiches, …

The last tavern left on Whiskey Row, where a dozen or more bars (all on the same block) quenched the thirst and hunger of Stockyards workers starting in 1924. Park and enter in the rear, join the locals, and experience a little bit of old Chicago!

Wanda. & Bruce the bartender. She is the 93 (?) yo owner, a great conversationalist & beautiful soul who will ply u with as many chips and snacks as she can. He is the best bartender in the city. He will make you a hot toddy if you're sick, a light refreshing drink in the summer or a round of shots for the crowd. Must visit!
