A Schiller Park standby centered on an 1889 hand-carved bar, known for hearty comfort fare like its chicken pot pie.
Description
Operating since 1992 around woodwork crafted by the Chicago Bar Company, the space branches into a softly lit historic taproom, a dining room set with tablecloths, and an enclosed outdoor dining area. The kitchen balances neighborhood comfort with deliberate sourcing, offering grass-fed and bison burgers alongside sushi-grade salmon, lobster bisque, and ribs. Specialties extend to mustard-crusted bass as well as authentic German Oktoberfest plates poured alongside seasonal fest biers. While the décor leans slightly dated, the room holds a comfortable ease backed by a tight-knit staff.
