Editorial Review for Delilah's – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The clientele has softened since Delilah's was Crash Palace, but it remains fueled by owner Mike Miller's passion for whiskey and rock and roll. Besides having one of the city's best jukeboxes (Hank Williams, Sex Pistols, James Brown and local indie rock), Delilah's features DJs from Chicago's music subcultures spinning selections from their personal collections five days a week. Local musicians spin on a semi-regular basis. Employees of record labels like Estrus Records (garage rock) and Bloodshot Records (insurgent country) have also made appearances. Count on hearing punk rock, country, metal and Brit pop on various nights.
The Draw
If you like whiskey, there are 150 different reasons to set up camp at the bar. Delilah's frequently updates the list of Kentucky bourbons, Tennessee and Irish whiskeys, and scotch as well as the extensive collection of other liquor and 150 beers.

Or aspiring beer aficionado. We were there for a "beer fest" which was not as organized as it could be. But the selection was very good. This bar is not listed as a Belgian bar anywhere, but it's pretty close to bar's in other parts of the country that claim to be a Belgian bar. There was a downstairs and upstairs bar. They had Delirium Tremens on tap, and Rocheforte no 10 upstairs (rare find in any bar). It's sort of a mix of dive bar and a world of beer bar. Definitely worth checking out.
Pros: Beer selection
Cons: Rickity staircase
