Feel like a Brit in Chicago

Don't ever use the upstairs women's bathroom. Ever! (It's definitely haunted--especially after 2 or 3 pints). The downstairs has a very ramshackle appearance, lending to the overall quaintness of the pub. The upstairs has another bar, 2 connected rooms and a rooftop patio with a tree in the middle (one of the most pleasant and relaxed "beer gardens" in the city). The owners are usually on the premises, and behind the bar, very aloof but friendly with the regulars. I recommend the fish and chips, shepherd's pie and scones, along with a Fuller's.
