New Book: Historic Bars of Chicago

Historic Bars of Chicago is now available, containing reviews of the Top 100 most historic bars, taverns, nightclubs, lounges, dives, and bierstubes in Chicago ahd published by Lake Claremont Press. More info on how to get an autographed copy: http://www.historicbarsofchicago.com

Although we normally don’t allow posts about commercial ventures on the SD©MB, we make exceptions for worthy causes. A (1) book on (2) historic bars in (3) Chicago by a (4) Straight Dope Chicago source is eminently qualified in that respect.

Sounds like an interesting book. How about a monthly drawing to win a free copy?

I like the trivia questions you have at your link. Care to share any answers? Or do we have to read the book? Or maybe the denizens of the Board here can answer them? (I think I know the one about the first liquor license after Prohibition)
