Streeters Tavern



Neighborhood: River North
50 E Chicago Ave

Chicago, IL 60611
312-944-5206

The Lodge Management group, which owns 11 bars in the area, bills Streeters as ''The Greatest Bar Below Earth.'' By far the lowest-key bar among the Lodge offerings (most of the rest are in the neighboring Rush and Division neighborhood), Streeters offers little to distinguish itself--which seems to be fine with its fiercely loyal customers. With a special microbrew each month, outdoor seating and a foosball table, the place maintains a college-bar atmosphere; indeed, it has been adopted as the choice drinking locale by many graduate students at the nearby downtown campuses of Northwestern and Loyola Universities. Streeters doesn't serve food except during lunch hours, but on request waitstaff will order food from Lodge-owned Downtown Dogs and deliver it to you.

Lisa Wilson from Chicago, IL - May 17, 2003

In my opinion, it's an overpriced dump. Last time I was there the bartender was rude. If you want a dark basement bar, the Billy Goat is a bett...
