Jake’s Pub | Clark Street, Lakeview | Chicago
Been looking for a neighborhood bar for a while. Living near a college campus doesn’t lead to the best bar scene … unless you’re fond of drinking with a pack of 19-year-olds really excited to be buzzed. Jake’s Pub is different.
Jake’s may be the only bar in Lincoln Park with a chalkboard full of beers by the bottle. Go down Fullerton far enough and you’ll get to Quenchers. Head up Clark long enough and you’ll get to Hopleaf. Don’t want to leave Lincoln Park? Head to Jake’s.
We went on a Saturday afternoon. Brett Favre was marching down the field while a few patrons watched and a few others played darts. I had a Beck’s and watched the game. Lisa had a Fat Tire and read the Onion. Life was good. We’ll be back.
