THE OLDEST BARS IN CHICAGO

Some bars pour whiskey. These ones pour history. Chicago’s oldest watering holes have seen it all—Prohibition bootlegs, mobster shootouts, jukebox love stories—and they’re still standing, ready to hand you a shot and a story. Whether you’re into creaky wooden floors, century-old beer taps, or the kind of ghosts that don’t wait for Halloween, these are the spots where Chicago’s past is always on draft.
