First visit while in Old Town.
Was a delight to meet Pierre, he happily told us some interesting history of the Glunz Tavern and a mini tour ( many photos and interesting items within!) We will definitely return. Had my first Old Style beer this day 😉

Glunz Tavern is seriously one of the best places you can wander into in Chicago. Jacob and Wyatt behind the bar are both AWESOME and treat everyone who walks in the door like a neighbor and old friend. The drink list (especially the wine list!) are inspired; you'll find wines on their menu that are difficult to find anywhere else in Chicago. The food is great and the vibes are perfect; the other patrons who frequent Glunz are welcoming and make a stranger feel right at home....

Oldest pub in Old town, must visit place. The atmosphere takes you back to 1888 Chicago. Pretzels and bratwursts, beer and gluhwein, artifacts the original owner brought from Germany.
