A legendary punk and alternative bar with one of the most impressive whiskey selections in the city — over 700 bottles — alongside cheap beer and a rotating cast of DJs and live music. It's dark, loud, and unapologetically itself, which is exactly why locals have loved it for decades. Not for everyone, but absolutely authentic Chicago.
