The Scene – Scuffed wood floors, art-deco wall sconces and an Old-World mural depicting good-time bar antics give this low-key hangout a classic air. River North professionals and nearby high-rise dwellers stop in for post-work drinks. A post-collegiate crowd with well-tuned taste buds yuks it up in the vine-covered beer garden, which turns into a people-watching hot spot in summer. – – The Draw – A grand mahogany bar offers discerning patrons a mind-warping selection of libations including 95 hand-crafted beers--25 of which are on draft--and include seasonal offerings…

Amazing Laid Back Beer Bar

by dprager0528 at Citysearch

Clark Street Ale house is a welcome respite from the general river north / gold cost douchebaggery. It is a no frills bar with an amazing beer selection, cozy tables, and a good low key place to hang with friends.

There is also a good chance you'll see some dogs mulling around, as they allow pets!

I love this bar, and you should too.

  • Pros: Great Bar, Great Beer Selection, Allow Pets!
