A classic since it opened in 1958, the venerable "Ale House" hasn't changed a bit. The surrounding Old Town neighborhood is no longer as bohemian as it once was, but you will still find a motley and diverse crowd in here, from the crusty barmaids, to the old drunk sitting next to you telling you everything you always wanted to know about shark fishing.

...a Chicago legend and a neighborhood treasure !!
Had a great first date here and also first time visit to pub, I live walking distance away so it's the perfect pub. I loved all the cool art work and vibe with a no too young crowd. Definitely coming back! Brooklyn's lager and Jack Daniels/ginger...Delicious�
Met up with a friend there, we had a drink and we had a fun and relaxing time
Stay away. The drunk'in owner tried to pick a fight with me.....and I was with my family following a college graduation. If that's part of the " local vibe" then you can keep this dump.
Business response:
Dave I am so sorry that you had a bad experience at the old town ale house- I do not know the drunk that ruined your experience but he was not the owner- my name is Tobin and I am the only female owner of the bar- if you have a bad experience tell the bartenders - they will call me and the nuisance will be removed:)
What a great spot. I highly recommend it for anyone going to Second City
One bartender was nice and courteous and the other seemed like a character out of a Stephen King novel. And by that I mean, good at his job (waiting on people) but being totally creepy.
