Wonderful guide, but...

This is a "must-have" for finding the great bars of Chicago. Just beware of one thing before you hop on that train or in that cab to go heading off to the perfect, little, out-of-the-way-neighborhood-pub: CALL AHEAD. In my recent visit, I found out the hard way that two of the places to which I travelled were no longer in existence. In one case, the bar was under different ownership and subsequently a totally different bar and in the other case, the building had been demolished and replaced by a townhouse. (This little hitch is the ONLY reason that this book doesn't receive 5 stars.)

Cheers!

If you ever find yourself in Chicago with a taste for an ice cold beer, you need this book! An all-encompassing guide to the wonderful bars of the Windy City that doesn't dwell on Rush Street. Although it's a bit out-dated at this point, it still serves as an invaluable reference.

Man, this book is great!
