The Lodge has been around for something like 30 years and is amazingly tucked into Division Street - probably the most uninteresting area in Chicago. But, this bar is and will always be my favorite - the juke box cranks out oldies that all the drunks belt out late at night. It's almost always packed and believe it or not, you'll probably see tons of celebrities and athletes hanging out. I love the peanuts and the atmosphere. It's a late closer - awesome!
It's like a secret jewel.
Pros: awesome atmosphere, great people, great bar
Cons: parking
