Just being old is not enough. These Chicago bars have stood the test of time. Within the covers of this book, you'll learn the stories behind Chicago’s best nightspots: how they came to be, their intertwining histories, uniqueness, celebrity clientele, and their place within the culture of the great city of Chicago.
