watching the world go by at Cal's

SW corner of Van Buren and Wells

 

"Not some hipster yuppie's idea of a "dive bar" but the real thing; an old school watering hole. The bare essentials in an environment that's becoming increasingly and sadly rare in a world that frowns on the open enjoyment of drinking for its own sake. And make no mistake about it, this is a drinker's bar.

 

Reasonable prices, booze to go, and easy access to both train stations and the L make this a strategic spot for catching a buzz before you go off to where ever you need to go off to." -- Sam D. via yelp.com

 

*12/31/2012 -- After 65 years of deep diving, Cal's goes out with a bang.
