Durkin's possesses the oldest continuous beer license on Chicago's North Side. Such a legacy appropriately sustains the feel of an old neighborhood tavern -- friendly, comfortable and full of loyal longtime patrons. Surprisingly spacious, Durkin's walls are covered with old artwork, photographs and Irish accents. The front room's sliding glass doors open to let in sunlight when the weather's warm.

"Good spot"
By Chad from Lakeview, March 14, 2008
I like going here - fills up, but lots of space, not hard to find your own hangout area especially in the very back. Been to several parties here ...
