The harpoon over the bar, ship's wheels for chandeliers and whale-shaped coat hooks has more to with this East Hyde Park pub's proximity to the lakefront and Promontory Point than a longshoreman clientele. Your average Joe line the bar in the cozy room to hide out, have a quiet drink, play a game of darts and listen to the tunes from the stellar jukebox. Tuesdays draw the college crowd for dollar off draft beer pitchers.
