Since 1890, Barleycorn's has been running strong, even though it had to hide as a laundry during Prohibition. Once inside, you may never want to leave. The woodwork is warm and cozy, the beer and liquor selection is great, the burgers are terrific and all for a price that almost anybody can afford. Even if the summer evening is pleasant, skip the patio and spend your time soaking up this Lincoln Park favorite. Another location resides in Wrigleyville at 3524 North Clark Street, +1 773 549 6000.
