Bill's Pub

My favorite neighborhood bar! The bartenders are nice and they give you free popcorn. Cheap frosty mugs of old style. The regulars are all friendly and hysterical.

Having run out of beer  yours truly(shake & bake aka Big brown aka El chorizo) and da living legend himself Mr. J (aka Sandbunka man!) walked a half block down the street to have a few more and pick up a sixer or so to bring back.  Yes I know Its 3:30pm or so in the afternoon on a Saturday but you know........thats how we roll!
we walked in through the back door and man!.......Holy shit it's an old mans bar that smells like old  people and with old people in it!
THIS is what them hipster pretend to enjoy out there in Wicker park. BUTTA this is da real thing!
Halloween decorations were off da hook! Revolving heads in the ceiling! Full size Jason in the corner! and a alien with a boa on it!
Awesome Country music playing.......
cheap booze
beer to go
Real Chicagoans!!! real people! I didnt hear a OMG in my stay there nor did I see an Iphone in the whole place! hell some of the people in there probably down know what one is!

Old mans blue collar bar I will be back.........With my main man Mr. J soon......to be continued!

Hipster infestation level: -5 yeah a frakin negative! I know of no living hipster who would dare park his rusted bike in fron and pretend to be different in here! Skurrryyyyyyyy!

Shake and bake seal of approval!

I've been here twice.  Once around xmas and man this place was decked out!!!  Anyway, it's cheap and they serve beer in frosty mugs.  Both times the regulars bought us rounds, so that's a plus.
