RIP pumping company. I'm still hoping they might reopen some day. Trivia there was great

Ah, gotcha.

I thought they turned the restaurant into a bar or you were talking about a bar in the restaurant.

When I saw this post I thought he got arrested.

I’m assuming Monks isn’t the place in the Dells.
I always kind of saw you as a patron of Tom’s Place in Lemont (Blatz on tap).

My cousin’s kids do Tom’s and Blatz. I was partial to a Nick’s Tavern burger.

Tommy...watching soccer.... shit.

Was in Sovereign with my uncle before I even reached double digits. Was over there recently. Even the guy in the frame shop at Broadway and Granville was still there.

Yeah Fogcutter was quite something. Went there a bit in the mid 90s, I will probably develop lung cancer from the 2nd hand smoke I breathed in there.
My parents would actually buy carryout ribs for family dinners from there every couple of months. I would never have wanted to see the kitchen area, but
the food was excellent. Is it actually still standing?

These are the only bars mentioned here and not around Rush/Division I've even heard of.

And House of Tiki really turned into a dive many nights.

Tiki was an awesome, awesome place--totally great vibe. A lot of times I dropped in, I was the only or one of a few white guys in the place. The older regulars in there would often fuck with me in a funny way, and that usually led to great conversations and some crazy late-night drinking, always capped off with a run to Harold's!

_________________

It was a place for great, if not odd conversations. The sight of the IC/Metra parking lot there now still makes me ill. But toward the end, there were way too many early 20 somethings that only wanted to get absolutely blotto. And start ruckus.

Yep. The Tiki Lounge was the joint. Did change towards the end and i was in there with the 20 something crowd you're referencing Reader.


That damn Tiki Lounge used to serve the strongest Long Islands known to mankind. There would be 12 different shots mixed in as I recall. Allegedly illegal for them to serve more than one. I've left out of there blasted on more than one occasion.

I've knocked at least a couple back in every one of those places. I'm sure it was a simple oversight that Augenblick did not make the Late Great list.

I hate to see my friends admitting to giving business to a Packer loving Wisconsin bar.

I've done a few of those spots. I remember when the Stones decided to do an impromptu show at the Double Door the night before they were to perform at Soldiers Field.


Got arrested one night making a Bogus right turn on a red light on Wellington while on my way to Hip Hop Mondays at the Elbo Room back in the day. I think they would have let me slide but the chick that I had with me started going off on the damn police. Played the racial card and I don't think she knew that I was driving with Bogus Insurance. Booked me up at the Belmont/Western station


Reggie's yeah and if By Beetle You're talking Black Beetle on Chicago Ave Yep. Think I've been in Metro too.

Black Beetle used to make their own Lager as I remember. That was my Tuesday night spot back in the day.

SUBT yep also.

Jersey Joes was great. The first time I went in, there was some old-timer sitting at the bar playing music on the jukebox. He played some Glenn Miller and it was awesome. We all felt like we were in a speakeasy.
