The Old Town Ale House in Chicago. Many storied. One of my favorite places too. Ebert blogs “I returned to the North Avenue drinking scene on New Year’s Eve 1966, opening night of the legendary O’Rourke’s, two blocks directly west. Its last call was 2 a.m. The Ale House had a 4 a.m. license, so many of us walked down the street to continue. O’Rourke’s was the newspaper bar. The Ale House was the bohemian bar. Customers flowed freely between them.”
