Editorial Review for Burton Place – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Since the early 1980s, this Old Town institution has quenched the thirsts of Tim Allen, Carrot Top and the late Chris Farley, among others, after they finished gigs at neighboring comedy clubs Zanies and Second City. (And members of Blues Traveler once were kicked out by a testy bartender.) These days, however, the neighborhood bar draws locals and late-night owls looking for a place to perch when other, non-4am-licensed bars have announced last call. Burton Place is packed on weekends after midnight, and brings in a steady week-night crowd.
The Draw
Two floors offer patrons plenty of room for partying. A blazing fireplace downstairs makes this a great spot in the winter--that, and the fact that the kitchen serves hot food until the wee hours (good in summer, too). When the main level fills up, head upstairs for a game of pool.

When to GoRemember Burton Place when you're hungry late, but want something better than a "run for the border" can provide; tasty versions of burgers and other typical bar fare are served until 3am nightly (4am on Saturdays).

If you live in the area of this bar, you're guaranteed to end up there late one night. It's a great late night bar, staying open much later than most bars in the area-as well as serving food really late. (i've gone in to just get food to go at 230am on my way home) The downstairs gets pretty crowded, I think because most people don't know there are two other floors. The crowd sometimes is a little bit too yuppy/bitchy/drunk, but you just have to laugh at them.
Pros: good late night food, late night scene, locality
Cons: crowd too drunk, sometimes

A great neighborhood place: catch a game on the TVs, play your favorite tunes on the jukebox, and eat the tastiest most tender ribs around in this bar (burgers are pretty good too). Your mom would call it a dive, perhaps, but the service can't be beat: bartenders always seem to know when you're ready for the next round. Good selection of beers, Pub grub is fine and there's no attitude in the patrons or the staff.
Pros: service, ribs, juke box
