The Montrose Saloon

my new go to place...kind of sick of the lincoln squares

cheap, average, reminds me of wisconsin

Very cool local bar in this neighborhood.  Went here with a friend just this past weekend and though there was only 5 people in the place, we had a blast.  The bartender was very cool and lively and they have a great touch button juke box and a decent beer selection.  Defo a fun old man bar IMHO.

Went here on a Saturday night.

PROS:

-Inexpensive mixed drinks (for Chicago)
-Patio you can bring your own food and BBQ
-Not crowded (on a Saturday night!)
-Music is not too loud (I could hear people, and they heard me!)

CONS:
-Not a lot of seating, just a few stools around the bar
