Innertown Pub

Top choice in Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


A holiday-light-festooned moose head and a life-size statue of Elvis overlook the crowd of artsy regulars playing pool and drinking on the cheap at this lovably divey, kitsch-filled watering hole (and former 1920s speakeasy). The bartenders enjoy mixing up unconventional cocktails and DJs spin new wave and other tunes a few nights per week.
