Go for the lowkey vibe and experience. Love the art and the back story.
If you're lookin' for a real Chicago dive bar, Old Town Ale House is the spot. Been around since '58, and it feels like it. The walls are covered in wild, political art. Grab a Miller High Life or a Bell's Two-Hearted, and enjoy the old-school jukebox. No frills, just good drinks and a classic atmosphere. Perfect for a pre- or post-Second City show. Cash only, so come prepared. You might even spot a celeb or two. Spent about $25 for a couple beers and a whiskey. Highly recommend if you want the real Chicago experience.
