BAR REVIEW: FRIAR TUCK in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, IL

As you enter the no thrills bar of Friar Tuck, you can’t help but notice that the bar building looks like a big hollowed out beer barrel. By the way, when I say “no thrills” I mean that as a compliment. You come to Friar Tuck to drink and to drink some more. There is no fancy decor or trendy furniture. All you have are the necessities: bar, bar stools, tables, and popcorn and of course beer. I guess you can go so far as to say that the Karaoke area is a thrill.

Beer is the main attraction at Friar Tuck. Granted their beer selection is not very unique, it does have more than just light beers. The beer that is the highlight of the bar is Michelob Amber Bock. It is the only place in Chicago (so far) that has it on tap. Plus, Friar Tuck has an everyday special of $5 mini pitchers. $5 gets you a mini pitcher of any draft beer!

So if you are looking for a place to start or end your night, Friar Tuck is a great option. The Broadway Street area of Lakeview is becoming a popular drinking destination, and Friar Tuck is at the heart of it all.

FRIAR TUCK is located at 3010 North Broadway Street in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Duke of Perth

BAR REVIEW: Duke of Perth in the Lakeview area of Chicago, IL

Step into the cozy confines of this quaint Scottish pub located on Clark Street, just north of Diversey Parkway. Duke of Perth brings together all the fine elements that one would expect from a pub located in Scotland: large selection of whiskey, fireplace, friendly staff, neat accents, charming decor, pub food and of course, a fine selection of ales and lagers. The impressive selection of ales brewed in Scotland is what you will notice first when you glance at the Beer Menu. Pay special attention to the “Scottish Historic Ales.” Some of these ales claim to be in the style of ales brewed in Scotland in 2000 BC.

When you visit Duke of Perth, try to go on a Wednesday or Friday evening. On those 2 nights they have their famous “all you can eat fish and chips” special. For $9.50 you can enjoy all the fish and chips your body can handle. At the end though, you do not a special reason to go to the Duke of Perth, any reason will do. There is not a finer place to enjoy a pint of a nice Scottish Ale in all of Lakeview.

Duke of Perth is located at 2913 North Clark Street in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Phone: (773) 477-1741. Website: www.dukeofperth.com
