"Character is not something Old Town Ale House is short on. At its core, Old Town Ale House is a funky dive bar and historic hangout full of locals and comedians because of its location near Second City. The longtime owner also treats it as his own art studio, which includes pictures of Vladimir Putin as a ballerina and Kim Jong Un and Dennis Rodman together on the wall. It’s the total opposite of everything else you’ll find near it on Wells St., which makes Old Town Ale House the perfect escape for a lowkey couple of drinks." - josh barnett, sam faye, john ringor
