About Old Town Ale House

The Old Town Ale House is a classic Chicago dive bar that has been around since 1958. The walls are adorned with unique, politically-charged artwork created by the owner. The bar offers a relaxed atmosphere and serves up cold beers, including Miller High Life and Bell's Two-Hearted, at good prices. Customers can enjoy the eclectic tunes from the old-school jukebox, making it a popular spot for pre- or post-comedy show visits. The cash-only policy and lack of frills contribute to the bar's authentic, no-nonsense vibe, which is a true Chicago experience. Despite occasional issues with a certain employee, the Old Town Ale House remains a favorite among regulars and newcomers alike, offering good drinks, great atmosphere, and a touch of the city's character.

Go for the lowkey vibe and experience. Love the art and the back story.

Best dive bar in Chicago!

Love this bar! The atmosphere is great. Stiff drinks and friendly bartenders.
