Butch McGuire's
Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere!.
I love this bar! The atmosphere is great - definitely go around the holidays to see the crazy decorations! They have lights everywhere, and a train running on a track just below the ceiling!
In additon, they have great food specials every day - try the Friday fish and chips! They also have a good selection of beers. Brunch is unbelievable - go there to share with a friend! They have a few kinds of eggs benedict, which all come with 4 eggs on 4 half-english muffins! Or 4-egg omelettes! They also have a $4 special of 2 eggs and bacon and toast.
In the back, they have two dart boards that are almost always available early in the evening, if you go there for dinner and hang out. Though you may want to bring your own darts.
It's just a great, fun bar to hang at!…
Best bar on Division. Not only is this the oldest bar on Division St, but it's also one of the best. They always have great food specials, and the environment is great. Highly recommended.
Classic Pub. People like to put down pints here, fun-fun place. Ask for Pat the bartender, he'll make your drinks the right way. Open late too, till 4/5am.
The grand old man of Division Street clubs, this joint still dishes up strong drinks and tasty sliders..
The Scene
Shamrocks, shillelaghs and a slew of nautical tchotchkes cover nearly every visible surface in the bar, which claims to have invented the Harvey Wallbanger and is said to have
brought together 6,500 couples over the years. Customers are a loud, jovial, rowdy crowd of suits, tourists and young college grads on the make; the weekend brunch bunch is a mellower (more sober) mix.
The Draw
Butch's food menu offers satisfying American bar fare (sliders, soups, salads) and probably the best burger in the Gold Coast. The mini-sliders are terrific, too--bigger than White Castle, cooked rare and topped with grilled onions, on either a traditional bun or on rye bread. The mini-roast pork and mini-Reubens are also tasty. Two or three is enough for a meal.…
