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.
