Editorial Reviews

Review

"Here's a book which records the richness of characters both real and unreal that prop up the bar of Chicago's best English Pub." --Janet C. Davies, 190 North Host/Executive Producer & Entertainment Reporter ABC7 news

A great tavern is more than booze, soft lighting and edible food. A great tavern is understanding bartenders, interesting characters and stories... stories of all kinds. The Red Lion is one of the world's great taverns and now, finally, it's got the stories to match. --Rick Kogan, columnist for the Chicago Tribune & author of A Chicago Tavern: A Goat, a Curse, and the American Dream

Praise for the Red Lion Pub One of the Top 50 Neighborhood Bars in the World - GQ, 2005 One of the Best Whiskey Bars in Chicago Whiskey Magazine, 2004 One of The Best Bars in the Midwest Esquire, 2006 --Red Lion Pub Archivist
