What Makes a Chicago Bar “Historic”?
 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. We even threw in the most historic suburban bars, taverns we miss the most, and do-it-yourself historic pub crawls.
