Old Chicago serves up great pizzas and practically any type of beer you could desire. A traditionally sporty bar and restaurant, this uptown location is most popular for its late night bar atmosphere, especially in the summer for their half-patio seating (3 patios!). The crowd is younger, but contrary to the Downtown joint, this one has a following of regulars and nightly patrons. Show up early if you plan on sitting in the bar becuase although its large enough to seat you almost anytime for dinner, you are really coming to meet friends for drinks, and the bar tables fill quickly.

sunday wait/bar staff is the best in town. there is also a jolly customer in there who buys grape apes for anyone with a pulse.

I agree with the assessment of the new and not improved hh. The great specials and the nice patio made it a somewhat frequent spot for me and my friends this summer, but now that the prices are not so special, I think we might be done with the place. With so many great places to drink and eat in the Uptown area, why hang out at a bar you can find in every suburb in the cities, unless it's for a good deal?

This place used to have the best hh, but their specials have changed and now its just average. No longer are taps $2.50, now just a $1 off, and the list of $2 apps has shrinked significantly. Also, the late night hh is not valid on friday. Used to be my fave place to go for hh in uptown, i dont plan on making a point to go back anytime soon.

Good place for reasonable priced food. Lots o beer! Not so great at peak hours. Casual, which is bascially how i judge a bar/restaurant, there are too many places in uptown filled with yuppies. I feel like a t-shirt and jeans wont cut it in some places.
