South Loop Club

The South Loop Club seems to come to my rescue at the oddest times.  This rescue came on a recent Sunday afternoon where we were trying to catch the Hawks game but our first bar choice was closed.

We walked down a couple of blocks to South Loop Club and entered an almost empty bar.

We had our pick of seats, plopped ourselves down and started to watch the game.  There was a sound issue (tons of static) that almost had us up and walking to someplace else in the neighborhood, but once we motioned it, the bartender adjusted something and the rest of the game was free of the static.

We didn't eat on this visit but I noticed the menu hasn't changed much if at all.  And Sandy, our server, was efficient and friendly, i just wished for her sake that there were a few more patrons in the place.

My favorite part (other than the great company i was with) was when two older women walked in and asked if they needed a "membership card"  to come in.

Didn't have the heart to tell them that the South Loop "Club" will never be that kind of place!

A dive bar that serves its purpose of late night food & drink in South Loop.  Been there for ever & right next door to the new Buddy Guy's.

They have awesome ribs and wings! This bar has been here forever and definitely old school Chicago. I think some people may miss it because it looks kind of shady and South Loop hasn't always been the best area, but give it a shot for the food if your going to the Merle Reskin Theatre or live in the now trendy neighborhood.
