Chicago's

Chicago's recently reopened under new ownership with a fresh coat of paint. It's a relaxed bar in Strawberry Hill and offers a good line up of beer and booze, which really should be a prerequisite for any bar.

The old school bar includes televisions for game watching and there also is a bigger screen in a side room.

I think one of the things I like about this neighborhood bar is the mix of people you can find. There's some definite characters. Most are friendly and there's a good likelihood they'll start up a conversation with you.

I also have to add that if you're wanting to do a pub crawl and maybe not in the typical locations, Strawberry Hill is a solid option!

Best bar in downtown kck very friendly people and not one of the private clubs

Instead of going out downtown after Jazzoo, we decided to pretend we were in another city and go someplace we had never been.

Last Friday night it was this place.  Every single person in the bar was a Bishop Ward alumni....my old high school.  Very much a 6 degrees of separation.

It was like a pub inside and it was cute to see some pin-up art on the walls.  It reminded me of a place I used to go in Chicago....is that why the name?

Apparently $1.75 is a cheap price for a beer, I don't do beer very often so I didn't know.  Several Miller Lights and a lemon drop shot later we felt like it was our regular stopping ground.  

I can't remember the last time I chatted up so many strangers....very friendly place and a great end to my night!
